Dream of being unable to speak in an elevator - dream meaning with inherited lore

You are riding in an elevator with someone and remember something you absolutely need to say. As the floors change, you open your mouth but no sound comes out, and the doors are about to open.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being unable to speak in a rising or descending space have sometimes been interpreted as being unable to settle your feelings during a time of change. Rather than predicting the direction of a move or relationship, they may be seen as scenes showing impatience in the face of change. (In folk dream interpretation, rising and falling, together with blocked speech, have sometimes been read through the flow of change, choices, and relationships.)

Through the mind: These dreams may arise when circumstances are already moving, through a move, a transfer to another department, or a shift in a relationship, but your feelings have not caught up. It may also be worth noticing the impatience that you might miss an opportunity while putting off what you want to say.
