The hill gets steeper, and steeper!

This is a cross post from the Nightmare/recurring dream forum. I wasnt sure where to post so mods feel free to delete the thread. I have been having this dream every couple months for the past few years. It will start with a road on a hill that isnt too steep. And as I walk up the hill, it gets steeper and steeper, and after walking for a while, the hill will be so steep and tall that I cannot stand up anymore and I cannot hold my grip onto the concrete. I will try to crawl up the hill, but eventually it will be so steep that i start to slide down this gigantic hill. I always wake up once I start sliding. I have never made it to the top of this hill. But the hill is so massive and steep that it is a nightmare, I cannot even see the bottom of the hill eventually and it feels like I would fall for days if i were to loose my grip. Do you guys ever similar dreams? What could this dream represent? I have had it probably 3 or 4 times a year for the past couple of years. Some info about myself that may help you interpret my dream: I am 19 years old, I live at home with both my parents. I go to community college. I am a pretty self conscious person, I tend to overthink alot of things, usually petty things from the past. I am pretty shy, I am definitely ocd about alot of things. And I smoke alot of pot.

It represents futile efforts. Why are you climbing this hill? When a dream is a recurring dream, it should tell you that you are failing to heed a simple lesson. You know this hill is going to get steeper, yet you continue. You continue climbing until you get so high and it gets so steep you can't turn around and you can't get any higher. You'll be stuck and you'll have no way out. You're young. Start consciously looking at some of the behaviors you have. Start asking yourself "where am I going?" This dream tells me that you are doing very little consciously, and you are simply climbing hills and pursuing things without any regard to why you are doing it. You aren't thinking about things, you're just doing. As a result, you'll find yourself in your late twenties in the same spot, with fewer options, perhaps none at all.
