Dream Dictionary Elevator

Dreaming of an elevator signifies rapid progress or decline in life, with ascension indicating success and descent portending setbacks. A non-moving elevator suggests looming danger or narrowly avoided failures.

The elevator is a complex dream symbol, embodying the ups and downs of our lives. It often appears in dreams at times of transition or when we are evaluating our successes and shortcomings. In the language of dreams, an elevator can be a metaphor for our social, professional, and financial mobility.

Ascending in an elevator is commonly interpreted as a sign of ascending in life. It reflects a period of rapid advancement, where the dreamer may experience a significant rise in their career or a notable increase in wealth. This upward motion can symbolize the dreamer's ambition and drive, coupled with the potential for significant improvements in their social standing. The dream speaks to the dreamer's confidence in their upward trajectory and the expectation of reaping the rewards of their efforts.

Conversely, descending in an elevator represents a decline or a return to a lower position. This could be a warning from the subconscious about potential failures or an indication of fears that current endeavors will not end favorably. It might also reflect feelings of powerlessness or loss of control, as if external circumstances or internal doubts are pushing the dreamer down against their will.

Seeing an elevator descend without you signifies a close call regarding a goal or project. It suggests that while there might be setbacks or disappointments on the horizon, the dreamer has the capacity to avert these potential downfalls if vigilant and ready to act swiftly when opportunities present themselves.

A stationary elevator, standing still in a dream, often portends danger that is imminent or a threat that has been stalled. It represents a state of limbo and cautions the dreamer to be aware of risks in their environment. This could also symbolize a period where the dreamer is feeling stuck or uncertain about their direction in life.

Typical Dream Example:
You dream that you are in a tall office building, waiting for an elevator. The doors open, you step in, and select the top floor. As the elevator ascends, it suddenly jolts and starts descending rapidly. Miraculously, it slows down just before reaching the ground floor and you exit shaken but safe.

This dream could symbolize a recent or upcoming period of anxiety regarding your career or personal ambitions, where it feels like everything is plummeting out of control. The abrupt stop and safe exit may represent the dreamer's ability to handle crises or unexpected challenges that arise, despite the initial panic. It suggests strong resilience and the potential to stabilize one's circumstances even after a startling setback.

Dream of being on elevator going up but it flip upside down still going up. Reach floor and turned right way

I had been trying to find the meaning for my dream, but I can't find it anywhere. I had gotten into an elevator with my best friend, we didn't click any buttons, it just started heading downwards, I felt calm, I didn't feel scared. We had made it to this floor where there was a guy wearing all black in a dark room and he had led us to this second elevator, in my dream, I knew I should have felt scared, but still I had felt calm, so we entered the next elevator and it was descending at a normal pace but for much longer that was excepted, I wasn't scared but I was concerned as to why the elevator had been going down for so long. We had made it to the bottom floor, but when we walked out, my friend had disappeared and it was just me, and I was in some lady's apartment, she was an old lady and very welcoming, but what was strange was that I was on the ground floor, I looked out the window and I could see the sky, there were a ton of clouds and the sky was dirty yellow and reflecting onto the clouds, kinda like I was in a different universe. What does this dream mean???

Dreamt that I was in an elevator and wanted to go to the 11th floor but it took me higher

Today i had strangest dream. i was going into building when old lady called me and said: "boy help with this beg please, i'm quite old to do it myself. and i promise you get the reward in the end." i said that i would help without reward and it wasn't problem for me.so we went in elevator and i wanted to laugh when i saw that she pressed the second floor. when we went there as she was going out she said:"now that you came this far don't go down, instead go up" and i looked at buttons and each of them was lit up. and elevator went up fuster, sometimes it would go sides and it started rotating but then it would go up again. when it reached final floor door opened i got out, it was some kind of restaurant music was playing in the background. music actualy was some kind of low sounds and mumbling words as i remember, but all this situation felt pleasant. everybody in this restaurant was young and beautiful. everybody was looking at me and were smilingit was very comforting. then silence... some guy comes in smoking and tells me that thay are waiting for me and i should come, at this moment people dissapear(except a guy) and beautiful slow snow starts falling in the restaurant. guy walks me to another elevator, i go in it is all made of glass and when i look out i see beautiful scenery of space (stars, galaxies, nebulas) when i look back i see two people in the elevator, they are dressed in 19th century style, both have blue eyes, they had very short faces like they had almost no nose, and i just stood there somehow i know that they were gods or some very powerfull creatures, and than what happens is beyond logic i pullout guitar and start playing some beatiful songs and we all sing. (note: i don't even play guitar)
if anyone can explain i'll be more than happy, this was the weirdest dream i ever had

I think elevators represents the level of consciousness you are in. Remember that the higher up you go the more you see, you get an overall look of everything. Up should mean a more spiritual outlook on life and down or perhaps ground lvl or lower could mean that you are living your life in a low vibration.

I have these random elevator dreams where I go in the elevator. It starts to go up at normal speed but the inside starts to rotate very slowly and I start to flip onto the other walls or I hold on height to the bar & I go upside down. This has happened a few times in the last 5 yrs.
