If you dream of a ladder being raised for you to climb, your drive and determination will lift you to a place of influence and recognition in your professional world. Climbing a ladder signals prosperity ahead and a deep, untroubled happiness. Falling from one, however, points to low spirits and setbacks — failed ventures for those in business, poor harvests for those who work the land. A broken ladder is a sign that your efforts will fall short across the board. Descending a ladder suggests disappointment in work matters and desires that go unreciprocated. If you escape captivity or confinement by using a ladder, you will ultimately prevail despite navigating a number of dangerous situations along the way. Growing dizzy as you climb suggests that you may not carry your new success with grace — there is a real risk of becoming arrogant and overbearing once you reach a position of greater standing.
