As with most dreams, a dream about descending stairs, coming down a mountain, or climbing down a ladder, could have both positive and negative connotations. On the upside, if you're recollection of the setting of the dream is positive, this dream could mean that you're about to make a courageous shift in some area of your life, per Symbolism and Metaphor. Perhaps you've grown tired of your previous course or you've just outgrown it. Maybe you're just following a new desire. 

It could also mean that you're unbothered by fame and recognition and want to divert to an uncomplicated existence (via Dream Lookup). Maybe it's a testament to your selfless and giving nature. If you're extremely generous and always going out of your way for others, this could be the case.

A dream about descending from a high place could also mean that you're in for a positive and new development in your financial or romantic life, according to Dreamy Obsession.
