The rungs on a ladder represent levels in a hierarchy, and so can symbolise levels of spiritual awareness. A ladder may indicate communication between levels, or ascension to a higher spiritual plane.

Drawing doodles of ladders may indicate ambition and a desire to succeed, whether it is the corporate ladder you are climbing, or some other personal or professional goal. A firmly-drawn and regular ladder might suggest a firm resolve, while a shaky and uncertain ladder may indicate uncertainty. Got your ladder set against a wall? Perhaps you see obstacles in your way – but you also have the means to surmount them.

Renovating? Ladder doodles might be inspired by their use somewhere in your environment, or possibly an experience with them in your past. Perhaps you own a ladder-back chair, or have played snakes-and-ladders lately?
