What does it mean to dream about an elevator? |

Dreaming of an elevator can indicate how the connection between your conscious life (waking, external) and the unconscious (hidden and internal) is. However, there are numerous types of elevators, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, and this information can contribute to the amplification of the dream. An old elevator will certainly be less efficient and safer than a modern, well-calibrated elevator. Likewise, our psyche often needs updating so that we can react to life and relationships from less addicted and limited psychic places.

Dream interpretation helps in self-knowledge and decision-making

The first step in interpreting a dream is to become familiar with the symbols contained in it and their meanings. The second step is to know that dreams always concern the dreamer, his personality characteristics and the attitudes he takes and that must be observed. Having done this, it is possible to use dreams as an important tool for self-knowledge and guidance in life.

In addition, elevators generally move vertically, transporting people and objects up and down. For this, the elevator needs a command to work and, although it is usually safe, it is possible for it to malfunction or even fall. These will be important aspects to be observed.

When dreaming of an elevator that moves differently, horizontally or randomly, for example, it is necessary to consider where it starts from, where it is destined and where it goes, in order to understand its purpose/purpose.

Another important factor to be considered is the fear, especially in children, of entering elevators – something quite common. Unlike stairs, elevators leave people in a more passive position, as they are transported without any self-effort or movement control – except for the command to decide on the floor where they want to stop.

First step: reflect on the context of the dream

How is this elevator, old or modern? Does it go up or down? Does it work properly, hangs or crashes? What are the emotions that permeate the person in contact with this symbol?

Second step: reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling

How do I align the information I receive from my surroundings with the information that comes from myself? Do my internal processes flow smoothly or do they get stuck, trapping me in outdated psychic spaces? Can I be in contact with my unconscious in a calm way or am I thrown into it without any control?

Possible applications:

elevator that flows

An elevator that flows without interference it may indicate that communication between conscious and unconscious occurs in a healthy and satisfactory way or that the person should strive to make this process more organic.

elevator that locks

An elevator that locks and imprisons the person may indicate that, before going where you want, adjustments and resolutions may be necessary. Without that, maybe she won’t be able to go on.

Elevator that falls

An elevator that falls it may indicate a forced descent into the unconscious in order to balance the psyche. It can be a way to compensate for an excess of control and hypervaluation of reason.
