Mountain
Mountains represent major challenges, spiritual aspirations, and the effort required for achievement. Climbing a mountain symbolizes working toward a significant goal. Standing at the summit represents achievement and the broader perspective gained through effort. A mountain blocking your path indicates a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. In many spiritual traditions, mountains are sacred places where heaven meets earth.
Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
