I dreamt about going into an elevator. Another person was in the elevator as well. I was about to go up in the elevator but it started going down instead. The woman in the elevator said that the property managers had a tip on how to make the elevator go the opposite direction. There was a gear in the elevator. So I leaned my body forward and pressed it against the gear so the elevator tipped so that one side of the elevator was a bit higher than the other side, and then the elevator started going up instead.
Dreaming about an elevator often symbolizes personal growth or progress in your waking life. In this dream, the elevator going in the opposite direction may suggest that you feel stuck or out of control in a situation where you expected to move forward. The woman in the elevator offering a tip may represent wisdom or guidance that can help you shift the situation in your favor.
The gear in the elevator could symbolize the need for you to take action and make adjustments in order to move forward. Leaning your body forward and pressing against the gear signifies your efforts to take control and actively change the direction of your progress. The elevator tipping to one side may indicate that you are willing to take risks or step out of your comfort zone to overcome obstacles.
Overall, this dream may be reflecting your subconscious awareness of a challenging situation in your life where you need to find creative solutions and take control in order to progress. It suggests that with determination and a willingness to try new approaches, you can change the direction of your path and move forward towards your goals.
