Elevators and escalators go up and down and so they may represent anything in waking life that rises and falls or goes up and down – finances, emotions, promotions, etc. In general, the up and down motion of the elevator may represent the ups and downs of your life or it may symbolize the emotions and thoughts emerging out of and submerging into your unconscious.
An elevator is a very powerful symbol that can suggest a positive or negative symbol in your life. It could have a sexual undertone or could just represent a situation in your life. When you dream of an elevator shooting up uncontrollably or dropping so fast that your hair is flying all over it means that you are worried about a certain situation and you have no control over it. No one is around its just you and your thoughts about the situation which you feel scared and powerless with. If you take the elevator to a higher floor, it represents your transforming for the better. It could be a promotion at work or just simply doing better for yourself but you are moving upwards. Dreaming that the elevator has come to a halt, stopped working or stuck between two floors symbolizes that you feel caught in a situation and you are not going anywhere in some aspect of your life. You could be caught in responsibilities, a relationship or a career that you do not want. Similarly if the elevator is moving sideways instead of down or up it means that you are not progressing or moving up or down in aspects of your life no matter how hard you try.
Dreaming about entering an unoccupied, empty elevator represents the normal ups and downs that characterize your life. This includes the monotony of daily work and chores, as well as the unusual bumps in the road that make life more interesting. The way in which the elevator moves (if it moves at all) can give clues for a more specific interpretation.
Envisioning an elevator that is not primarily intended for transporting people, such as a cargo lift or mini elevator in a house, represents the possibility of being in an accident in the near future. You should exercise extreme caution and pay attention to what others are doing around you so that you can avoid any unnecessary accidents. Additionally, you should avoid taking risks that do not offer a strong chance of turning out successful.
Finding yourself stuck in an unmoving, broken-down elevator is usually interpreted as a sign that you are about to get involved, either knowingly or on accident, in activities of a questionable or immoral nature. More specifically, being trapped in an elevator is associated with fraud, suggesting buying or selling fake brand name products or extorting money from others.
