What It Can Point To
- Step-by-step work instead of sudden change.
- Progress if you climb steadily.
- Avoidance or fear if you cannot go up or down.
- Descent into memory, private feeling, or what is below speech.

Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
Do not shame yourself for slow movement. Some paths are stairs, not doors.
Better Questions
- Was I climbing or descending?
- Were the stairs safe?
- What step am I trying to skip?
