Stairs in a dream
Represents whatever divides a surface, or different volumes of space, into separate segments that are natural in themselves. It thus expresses the segmented dialectic typical of rationality — the dialectic of the "gear" — conveying the dreamer's enslavement to an alien computer. Climbing or descending the stairs means being subordinated to that machine to a greater or lesser degree.

What does stairs mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, stairs are a monitor symbol — an indicator of one's current state and direction of development. They represent whatever divides a surface, or different volumes of space, into separate segments that are natural in themselves. The image thus expresses the segmented dialectic typical of rationality — the dialectic of the "gear" — conveying the dreamer's enslavement to an alien computer. Climbing or descending the stairs means being subordinated to that machine to a greater or lesser degree. This image works as an indicator: it does not so much describe the problem as signal the direction in which the situation is moving. Set it against the other images in the dream to get the full picture.
