Dream Meanings About The Elevator

Elevator - Dream Interpretation & Meaning

Universal Landscape: Rapid transition between levels of awareness.

Dreaming Lens: Were you waiting for the elevator or already riding it? Were you reaching your intended destination? Were you frightened or in danger? Were you going sideways? Were you stuck in an elevator? Were you moving faster than what felt safe? Who were you with? Were you pushing the buttons or was someone else?

Personal Focus: Elevators carry us from one floor to another at the push of a button. The different levels they transport us to connect to various perspectives of our awareness. We decide our destination on an elevator, aligning this symbol with the choices we make about what areas of our consciousness we are willing to investigate. What happens in the elevator of our dreams may reveal how well this process is going in our daily lives.

The floors involved in a dream can hold significance. In a general way, moving upward connects with higher, more sophisticated levels of thinking, while moving downward indicates investigation of lower levels, past issues, and behavior patterns. Moving downward can also align with visiting hidden or Shadow material.

The actual floor number or numbers, if remembered, can be examined through the concepts of numerology for additional meaning (See Also: Numbers). If there are specific associations with the floors you visit or the building where the elevator is located, this should be factored strongly into your interpretation.

To go up when down is desired may indicate a pressing need to operate with higher insight than that with which you are currently engaged. Going down when up is anticipated may point to the need to uncover additional material hidden in the lower depths of your consciousness or your past. Being stuck on an elevator is to be midway through a process or shift. Your response to the lack of movement may reveal levels of impatience with your progress in some area of growth.

An elevator out of control is similar to a falling dream, but the added component of transition and choice must be considered. While you may be falling, you have chosen to take the elevator in search of new information. Going sideways is to be confused about the direction in which a current transformational shift may be taking you. If the elevator is out of service, you may be stuck in some issue in your life. Another possibility with a broken elevator is a need to stay where you are and not try and escape your current situation by rising above it or sinking to a lower level.

Here are the meanings for several elevator dreams: Descending or falling elevators in dreams are usually negative, suggesting anxiety about losing social status or repressed emotions.

A rising elevator also represents anxiety, but signifies that the trouble is almost over.

A dream of being stuck in an elevator symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control.

The same is true if you dream about an elevator that is out of order.

To dream of being in an elevator crash is a common dream, which symbolizes some basic fear in the dreamer’s life, such as fear of a moral lapse, social inadequacy, loss of status, etc.

The prophetic meaning of this dream depends on what happened.

If you dreamed of being killed in the crash, you will experience some major and lastings setbacks in your life. However, if you escaped safely or landed without being hurt, your troubles will be upsetting but only temporary.

[2]

Going up and down in the elevator may symbolize going from one state of consciousness to another. Messages from the unconsciousness may be accessible. Some believe that the elevator may be a symbol of a boring and mechanical sex life. On a more pragmatic note, the elevator may simply represent the “ups and downs” of life.

If you are ascending then you may perceive your current situation as optimistic and moving upward.

If you are descending you may be experiencing some negativity and helplessness.

If the elevator continues to go up and down with out letting you off, it means you have let your emotions, or your situation, get out of control and must do something to stop it.

[3]

Because they travel up and down in space, elevators participate in the larger meaning of height and depth. Thus, an ascending elevator in a dream can mean almost anything from rising in status to rising in awareness, whereas one descending may mean lowered status or submerging into the depths of the unconscious. In and of themselves, elevators are often regarded as threatening, because on elevators we are often forced into close quarters with strangers and because they sometimes plummet down the elevator shaft, killing the passengers.

[4]

Vision: In a woman’s dream, riding up in an elevator means social and professional advancement. Riding down in an elevator means the desire for sexual adventure. Seeing an elevator in your house: you want to get things done fast and without much effort—but that is wishful thinking.

Depth Psychology: Riding in an elevator means you are looking for help with a specific problem; or you want to reach your goals in life in a hurry without putting much effort into it (that won’t work!).

[5]

Dreams of moving up an elevator symbolize that you are elevating rapidly and moving up in the world. You now know where the buttons are, so you are advancing with a sense of confidence and control over the situation.

If you are moving down, then you know what to do to switch directions to elevate your position. Also, if you are moving down, this can either symbolize your interest in understanding the foundation of the situation you are in, or that you are allowing fear and negativity to take you down.
