Dreaming that a dormitory door won't close - dream meaning with inherited lore

You enter your dorm room and try to close the door, but it won't latch or keeps opening again. You hear someone passing in the hallway. You want to be alone, but you cannot relax.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of a door that will not close properly has sometimes been connected with outside interference or matters that have not yet been settled. It can also be seen as a scene showing that there is still room to welcome new news or people. (In folk dream interpretations, a door is often read as a symbol of the boundary between inside and outside, entry and exit, and changes in relationships.)

Through the mind: You may have wanted to make your boundaries clearer with family, roommates, or coworkers but found it hard to say so. A life spent constantly checking notifications and messages, without ever fully resting, may have appeared as a door left open.
