Analyze this: All night I dreamed I was climbing Everest

[AlienGirl]

At the start, we were in a relatively warm valley, and I didn't want to put on all of my cold-weather gear. Eventually I put it on though, and we climbed up and up, with the air getting thinner around us. I was very aware that there was a good chance I would die in this attempt, but I didn't care--at least I would have died climbing Everest. During the night I awoke several times, then fell back into that dream of climbing. The last time, when I awoke for the day, I found myself muttering: "I can't wake up yet; just let me summit first!" Later in the day, I took a nap on the couch, and sure enough--I was back on the mountain.

Now what does this mean?!

1. Fear of death.

Or sex. Or fear of sex. Or fear of death during sex. I see our time is up.

2. Is that analysis scientifically accurate?

[Inland]

4. Absolutely!

3. Well I'm not a pro at this, but here you go

The mountain could represent some challenge that you have in your life that you have yet to overcome. It could be something that you are constantly striving to achieve, but it seems like you are always climbing and not making it to the top. Maybe you are trying particularly hard right now to achieve that goal and it's a big one. Maybe that's why your dream mountain is Everest. That is a mountain that very few people have attempted to climb and it is a very dangerous trek. It's a very difficult task.

Let me know what you think.

6. Maybe...

Though I suspect it has something to do with wanting to do something extraordinary, or at least trying, so that if I die people will remember me for having tried an extraordinary thing.

5. You need a Dream Book...then you could play the lotto

my aunts analyze dreams all the time using that book.

7. My dreams are too individualized for that
