Dreaming of missing an elevator - dream meaning with inherited lore

You run toward the elevator just before the doors close, but cannot get inside. After the doors shut, the floor numbers rise, and the feeling of being left alone in the hallway may stand out clearly.

Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as missing a chance to move forward or a wave of change. It isn’t taken as proof that you will lose a real opportunity; the timing and your state of mind are considered together. (This interpretation comes from the folk tradition of reading doors and movement as symbols of opportunity and boundaries.)

Through the mind: You may have this kind of dream when you worry about missing a promotion or project at work, or feel that people around you are moving ahead first. You may also be thinking about a message or decision you’ve recently put off.
