A Dream of Being Late While Waiting for an Elevator - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene where you’re late because the elevator won’t come may reflect the frustration of being unable to pick up the pace on your own.
Time keeps passing, but the elevator stays still or lingers on every floor. You may press the button repeatedly and anxiously check the time.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being unable to move up or down have sometimes been interpreted as a sign that progress in your work is slowing. They can also be seen as suggesting that the situation may start moving once the blockage clears. (This interpretation comes from the folk dream-reading approach of connecting blocked transportation, stairs, and elevators with the pace of progress.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you’ve spent a long time waiting for someone else’s decision at work or in a relationship. It may also be that feelings of frustration caused by factors beyond your control have appeared as a scene.
