lift your dream

Having dreams which involve being in an elevator or lift is quite common as is featured in the top 100 dreams in which we encounter. This dream is very much connected to feeling anxiety and a lack of control. Commonly, these types of dreams occur in females between the ages of 30 and 40

Elevators usually move either upwards or downwards which is suggesting you are either on a positive (up) or negative (down) path. If the lift or elevator falls then there is a crisis in your life at the moment.

If the elevator drops suddenly or is not doing what you expected it to do and is unpredictable then this dream indicates that in your work life you are keeping your side of the bargain or contract, but the other person or company is not, and this is creating intense frustration and conflict in your life. If however, you dream of falling in your actual dream then it takes on a new meaning.

The falling sensation generally indicates the fear of losing security or a relationship. If you see yourself falling but do not have the sensation then it demonstrates a fear of failure. Most people experience this dream if they are focusing on their career, with a strong indication of wanting security around what they do.

If you hit the bottom of the lift or elevator following the sensation of falling in your dream then this indicates that you must believe that life still continues even after a crisis. If the dream involves a feeling of deep concern for other people in the lift or elevator then this indicates that you are losing out on a relationship. This dream indicates that the relationship will work much better if you can express that knowledge with this person.

What does it mean to dream of an elevator falling or going down?

Each year about 25 people die in elevators, most deaths are due to people crawling out of elevators that are stuck between floors. To feel the elevator is going down, falling or quickly depending can be unnerving in dreams. In the Guinness World records Betty Oliver survived a fall of 75 stories at the Empire state building elevator in 1945 due to the cables being weakened by fire, she did not lie flat but luckily for her the elevator cable slightly coiled at the bottom cushioned the landing. In real life elevators have a built in shock absorber. If the elevator or lift is taken down slowly then it is generally in relation to the genital area of the body or also to the area of darkness in our lives. Some dream interpreters think that going downwards is not necessarily bad as it may equate with flying and descending towards something greater.

Statistically, in real life elevators are safe and injuries rare. If you are falling into your dream and wondering how your body will cope with the impact of the force at high speed then this dream is about your spiritual development at the moment. Essentially you are free-falling, you are weightless and maybe you see yourself flat on the floor. The position in your dream is important to decode. If you are standing and the elevator is falling this can indicate that you will take any negative situations in your stride. To sit down and the elevator fall can indicate that you will bounce back in life. In elevators there are many cables and breaks and a metal wedge into the railings of the elevator shaft, therefore this wedge is a spiritual sign that even if things go wrong you will be protected.

If you are seeing yourself trying to cushion yourself from impact, or debris is flying around in your dream then the fear of the fall can be a sign from spirit. The most important part of this dream is the fact that you feel out of control in regard to what life is throwing your way.

Positive energy is essential and these are the vibrations that you need right now. If you have been feeling worried or uncomfortable lately, then this dream is a sign to try to ground yourself and request protection.

What does it mean to dream of hitting the ground in the elevator?

Hitting the ground with fatal force in a dream can indicate that you need to feel that you have a voice to communicate any problems or concerns. If you have been poorly lately or your energy levels are low, equally suffering from depression then dreaming of these negative experiences are common. You should concentrate on getting well.

If you are free falling and you experience the weightless feeling of the elevator going down you might feel terror in the dream, with the added worry that you will not survive. Many theories in real life of how to survive a true elevator crash are to lay flat on your back and distribute the weight or jump just before the elevator hits the ground. It is a good idea to seek support from like-minded people if you are experiencing problems in life. The reason I mention this is because many dreams are about falling and not the final outcome of crashing into the ground. My golden rule is to encourage you after having this dream to raise your vibratory rate. I refer to this as your inner light, as if you are turning on a dimmer switch.

What does it mean to dream of an elevator going up or ascending?

This is a positive dream if you are rushing up in an elevator. You are crowned with the sun in your life if you dream of going up in life. You know the big picture and the beginning, middle, and end. When this dream appears worries can no longer exist. The dream means spiritually you will have all the abundance you need and you are feeling safe and protected in the future. The dream appears today to tell you there is something important in your life and success will be yours. To go up in a lift fast indicates moving forward with self-love and abundance. What part of your life are you looking to improve at the moment. Are you able to access the fearless place in your mind to say that you are able to enter the abundant garden of life? Those that have contacted me over the dream of an elevator moving up often have powerful prospects in the future. Your life will embody comfort, understanding, and love. If you are scared about how quickly you are moving up in the dream then this can indicate a major life event or rites of passage.

What does it mean to dream of being alone in an elevator?

If you find yourself alone in the elevator and no one else inside during a dream this is about your journey in life.

What does it mean to dream of people in the elevator with you?

We all act a bit strange in an elevator in real life. We stand still, often we do not talk and the elevator becomes an awkward place. If someone else joins us we often move to the back and have an interesting pattern of movements. Dreaming that other people join you in the lift can often mean that you are feeling that you cannot do what you want. To stand in the corner while other people enter the lift in the dream can indicate that you are standing back in life. Take notice of where you are positioned in the elevator and how many people are with you. To dream of one other person, maybe someone you know in the lift can indicate that the person will provide loving energy. The dream of seeing many people in the elevator reminds you of the power of your highest ideals and that energy must flow to manifest your desires and dreams. Dreaming of strangers in the lift can be a spiritual whisper that “everything is going to be ok.” I remember when I worked in London I would always dream of going up and down in the elevator and this was a reminder that my instincts and spiritual side were being neglected. Thus, think about your current situation and see this through a lens of your own experiences.
