Dreaming of being trapped in an elevator - dream meaning with inherited lore

The floor display stops, and the doors will not open. You wait for rescue in the cramped space or press the buttons repeatedly, growing more and more anxious.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams in which movement stops have sometimes been interpreted as delays or a temporary block in one's plans. Rather than deciding that the blockage will last, they may also be seen as a scene of finding your direction again while moving through a frustrating period. (This interpretation follows the common folk symbolism of reading closed doors and stopped movement as signs of delay or stagnation.)

Through the mind: You may be considering quitting or changing jobs but unable to move because of practical conditions, or swallowing what you want to say in a relationship. Separating what you cannot solve right now from one small thing you can do today may ease the pressure.
