About a week ago, a friend shared about an elevator dream she had. In the dream, she wasn’t sure if she was trying to get out of the elevator or trying to close the elevator door so she could go up, but a huge black cobra head was at the door, preventing her from doing anything. What do dreams with elevators in them mean?

Elevators usually move up or down, suggesting that you are moving forward (up) or backward (down). My friend’s dream suggests that a fear deep within her is holding her trapped at this moment, and that she has the opportunity to accept the fear (represented by the snake) and move on.

My friend’s elevator dream reminded me of my own several years ago. It is also a synchronicity because it happened on the last morning of 2002, just before the New Year of 2003. (It is now almost the end of 2010.) I dreamed that I was in an elevator that spiraled up. I was in a similar “stuck” situation for several months in a row, and since March of that year, I had been practicing a special meditation and trying my best to follow through with my inner guidance because I wanted to “get unstuck.” “

The following is a description of my dream and an excerpt from a memory of my reconnection and awakening process:

“On the last morning of the year (2002), I dreamed that I was going up a skyscraper in an elevator. The elevator did not move in a straight line but went up and around the outside face of the building in a loose spiral that reminded me of the DNA helix. I squashed myself into a corner with my arms leaning against the walls as I am so scared of heights I was with a man I didn’t recognize as anyone in particular, though he definitely looked familiar We got off on the flat with the patio The multitude of colorful food stalls, which reminded me of Quinsey Market Colonnade in Boston, were filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables, and even Polish food. kielbasa.

Together we entered a well lit restaurant where my partner tried to order a romantic Italian meal with wine and the works despite it being the wrong place for it; dishes like gefilte fish soup were on the menu. It was clear to me what was or was not on the menu, but my companion, insisting on Italian, started arguing with the waiter.

I felt uncomfortable; I didn’t want to be there. And while my partner is fighting with the waiter, I’m thinking that he should really get out of there, forget about the pasta, get back in the elevator and keep spiraling up.

I woke up very encouraged and interpreted the dream in the sense that I was on the right track, that I just needed to keep cultivating that inner connection and not pay too much attention to all those things and events around me, in other words, not to get distracted by issues of secondary life like pasta or gefilte fish, or even men. After all, romance wasn’t even on the menu at the time.” –End excerpt.

The “waiter” in my dream can be interpreted as God, the “menu” as divine plan, and “going up the spiral elevator” as ascending, as spiritual growth. Looking back, this dream was prophetic for me. The last few years I have been working diligently on my higher purpose in life, and it wasn’t until later in the process that I realized how important it was to avoid getting distracted from my path.

Before I started my meditation (one that was particularly helpful in connecting with my higher self) and continuing my inner guidance, my dreams weren’t as vivid or clear. I noticed that they became clearer and easier to interpret as I connected more with my inner self.

I have a feeling that many people will be experiencing elevator dreams in the near future, as we are entering a time of unprecedented spiritual growth. (It is activated by reconnecting and integrating with your higher self). Having an elevator dream in which you spiral up can be very comforting (and comforting), especially during this time of difficult challenges.
