What does dreaming about mountain mean in the Bible?

Meeting God — or an obstacle only He can move

In Scripture

Mountains are where God meets His people: Sinai, Carmel, the Mount of Transfiguration. They can also stand for obstacles that tower over us. A mountain dream may be a call upward — to seek God's presence — or a reminder that the help you need comes from the Maker of the mountains, not the mountains themselves.
