Dreaming that an elevator skips floors - dream meaning with inherited lore

You press a floor number, but the elevator passes it and keeps going up or down. You panic while checking the floor display and feel anxious because you do not know where it will stop.

Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as things unfolding in a direction different from the expected process. At times, it may be seen as quickly moving past a stage or encountering a new opportunity, but the meaning can vary depending on how you felt in the dream. (In folk dream interpretations, moving between floors has long been read as a symbol of changes in status or circumstances, while passing a floor may suggest that the direction of change feels unfamiliar.)

Through the mind: You may want to move on to the next stage, through a promotion, job change, or living independently, but feel that the process is not going according to your wishes. It may also connect to feeling left behind by others, or pushed forward too quickly.
