A Dream of Being Possessed in an Elevator - dream meaning with inherited lore

As the elevator goes up and down, my body will not move as I want. The floor number stops or the doors will not open, leaving me trapped and frustrated inside.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of losing control of your body in a space that moves up and down have sometimes been understood as overlapping changes in circumstances and unease of the heart. A stalled elevator has often been interpreted as symbolizing the frustration of things not moving as you hoped. (In folk dream interpretations, rising and falling and blocked spaces are often read as metaphors for changes in status or a situation where progress is stuck.)

Through the mind: There may be something that has already begun to move—changing jobs, moving, or deciding about a relationship—but whose direction is hard for you to choose on your own. You may also be noticing your feelings only later, after trying to keep up with the pace of those around you.
