Elevator in a dream
In newer folk readings, an elevator in a dream shows quick rises and quick changes of mood.
The elevator is a newer guest in dream books, but people read it much like stairs: as moving up or down in work and in mood, only faster. A ride up means progress that comes more easily than you thought, and a ride down a return to basics and a pause. If the elevator stopped in your dream, it is believed only that something is running late, not that it is falling through. A soothing thought to keep: the doors always open in the end.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of an elevator going up
Rising in an elevator is read as quick progress and good news at work or school. By folk belief, someone will notice just how much you are worth.
Dreaming of an elevator going down
Going down is not a bad sign; old folk would say you are returning to solid ground. It is time to slow down and rest before your next leap.
Dreaming that you are stuck in an elevator
The standstill is read as a short wait for an answer or a decision. People believe that patience in such a dream announces a happy outcome.
Dreaming of an elevator dropping suddenly
A sudden drop in a dream usually follows a tense day in waking life. It is believed to be telling you only to loosen up and hand some of your worries to others.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
