Dreaming of being trapped in an elevator at your former workplace - dream meaning with inherited lore
An elevator that won’t move may connect with a feeling that it’s hard to move forward in your work or relationships.
The elevator doors at your former workplace stay shut as it stops between floors, or the buttons won’t work. You may try to contact someone but can’t get through, leaving you frustrated.
Korean lore: There doesn’t seem to be a widely established traditional interpretation specifically for being trapped in an elevator at a former workplace. You might connect the claustrophobic feeling of being stuck with past work problems or a sense that a current decision is at a standstill. (This interpretation draws on the general symbolism of reading an elevator as a scene of movement.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you’re unsure of yourself in a situation where you need to choose a direction, such as changing jobs or taking on different work. The fear or calm you felt in the elevator may show how you feel about changes these days.
