Dreaming of ancient means you are deeply rooted in understanding the past. As a student of history, it helps you to avoid pitfalls of others that come before you, while it allows you to build success upon success. With a perfect road map, your goals are rarely strays off course.
Ancient in a dream can represent wisdom and knowledge that has been accumulated over a long period of time. This could be related to the associations we have with ancient cultures and civilizations as sources of wisdom and insight, and to the idea that the longer something exists, the more knowledge and experience it has.
Ancient in a dream can also signify mystery and the unknown. This could be because ancient cultures and civilizations often have aspects that are shrouded in mystery and that are not fully understood, and because all things ancient can evoke a sense of the unknown and the mysterious.
