Elevator Dream Meaning — Riding an Elevator in a Dream
An elevator dream symbolizes a sharp rise or fall in social standing or fortune. The direction and speed of travel are the heart of the reading.
An elevator rising upward is passed down as a classic good omen symbolizing a sharp turn for the better — rising status, promotion, success. Conversely, going down or breaking down is seen as hinting at a decline in fortune or a setback in plans. Psychologically, the way an elevator changes situations rapidly within a cramped space is interpreted as expressing both anxiety and anticipation about changes beyond your control. The emotion at the moment the doors open and close is also an important clue.
