IN BRIEF: A climbing or rising upward.

Jose was looking forward to his ascent on Half Dome.

Tutor's tip: It's easy to hear a distinct "accent" (style of speech) when you "ascend" (go up) to the Appalachian mountains. Making an "ascent" is to make an upward movement, while "assent" means to agree.

Dreaming of moving up-in an elevator or by other means-indicates accomplishment and reward for achievements.
