Dreaming of a Door
door, doorway, entrance · mixed, with one happy exception
Walking through a door generally warns of gossip and trouble, unless it's the door of your childhood home.
What happens in the dream
- You go through a door: gossip, and enemies you try in vain to escape
- You knock at a door and are let in: success in your undertakings
- It's the door of your childhood home: days of plenty and harmony, the happiest omen
- You enter a door at night in the rain: secret escapades and money drained away
- You can't get in: disappointment
- Others go through a doorway: your efforts to get your affairs back on track will fail
- A door you close falls off its hinges and hurts someone: careless advice from you will harm a friend
- A door falls when someone else tries to lock it: you'll learn of a friend's misfortune and be unable to help
How you felt
- A threshold: the dream often reflects a transition or an opportunity
- Nostalgia or fear: perhaps a longing for a safe place, or a fear of being turned away
Ask yourself
- Which door am I hesitating to open?
- Where do I truly feel at home?
