Traditional reading

Sitting in a high seat has long been read as a lucky dream of making a name and pursuing your aims. If people followed you, you'd be recognized as a leader; if you struggled alone, it meant share the responsibility.

Through the heart

There's a wish to lead things your own way and to have decision-making power. As your responsibilities grow, you're coming to trust yourself more.

Scene by scene

Leading a meeting from a big chair
Things go well when you take the initiative.
Employees greeting you warmly
A lucky flow: you'll gain the trust and support of those around you.
A pile of decisions giving you a headache
Don't shoulder responsibility alone; share it.

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things

Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
