Dream Interpretation | To dream of climbing hills is good if the top is reached, but if you fall back, you will have much envy and contrariness to fight against. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
Literature | Hills Prayers were offered on the tops of high hills, and temples built on "high places," from the notion that the gods, could better hear prayers on such places, as they were nearer heaven. As Lucian says, And Tacitus says, "maxime coelo appropinquare, precesque mortalium a Deo nusquam propius audire." It will be remembered that Balak (Numbers xxiii. xxiv.) took Balaam to the top of Peor and other high places when Balaam wished to consult God. We often read of "idols on every high hill." (Ezek. vi. 13.) The Greek gods dwelt on Mount Olympus. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
