What does dreaming about mountain mean in the Bible?
Meeting God — or an obstacle only He can move
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. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, mountain is filed under nature — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Psalms 121:1, Exodus 19:20, Matthew 17:1. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to mountain, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
