The elevator is one of those things we use every day and never think twice about. But the truth is that something as simple as an elevator can be a source of anxiety and confusion, especially when it comes to elevators in dreams.
But why do we dream of elevators? And which other inanimate objects do people tend to dream about? The short answer is that there’s no one answer. And it depends on who you ask!
The main reason why you dream of an elevator is usually because you’re subconsciously trying to get “up” to a higher level, or to reach a place where you feel more safe or secure.
Elevators in dreams represent your journey through life and how you perceive it. If you dream of an elevator, consider what’s going on in your life right now and how you feel about it. Is there something that’s not working out for you? Do you feel like your life is going nowhere?
