What Does It Mean to Dream About Heaven?

Heaven in dreams is often seen as a symbol of enlightenment, eternal life and reaching a state of higher consciousness. Dreams about ascending to heaven suggests an opening or connection with a higher realm or God. If you are dying and going to heaven it might be related to questions of the afterlife or a symbol of a rebirth. Noticing a stairway to heaven is a positive symbol of your close connection with your higher self or connection with God.
