The Elevator

I had a somewhat scary dream last night. I boarded a really creepy looking and old/rusty metallic elevator which was quite small. The scene looked like something from the Matrix. Dark, wet and dangerous. Just when I got on two men came in. One was of medium built and the other was slightly big. I felt really claustrophic in the elevator. It was ascending upwards and we were trying to get off at one of the floors but it wouldn't stop. Finally when it stopped, one of the men yanked the elevator door open and pushed a wooden plank out so that it formed a bridge to the landing. We gingerly stepped out. We were outside in a clearing but it was dark. Small shrubs and trees were seen scattered around us.

Elevator: To dream that you are ascending in an elevator, suggests that you will quickly rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint. Descending in an elevator, suggests that you are being grounded or coming back down to reality. It also signifies setbacks and misfortunes.

The up and down action of the elevator represents the ups and downs of your life. It also symbolizes emotions and thoughts that are emerging out of and submerging into your subconscious. Alternatively, the dream may have sexual connotations.

To dream that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off, symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control. It may be a reflection of your life or your career. You are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life, whether it is your career, relationship, etc.
