Dreaming of a Ghost in an Elevator - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene may capture the feeling of being pressured in a narrow situation that is hard to escape.
Just as the elevator doors are closing, the ghost gets on with you, or keeps following you even as the floors change. Sometimes the elevator will not stop when you press the button, or never reaches the floor you want.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a ghost following you through a narrow space has sometimes been interpreted as a worry or pressure that is difficult to escape. It may also be seen as showing that movement and change are not going as you hoped. (In folk dream interpretations, a ghost’s pursuit and a blocked space are sometimes read together as worries that are hard to avoid or the burden of change.)
Through the mind: This dream may appear when you need to move to the next stage—at work, through a job change, an exam, or a move—but your heart feels stuck. You might consider where the pressure to choose began and whether you have room to pause and catch your breath.
