Elevator

An 'Elevator' in a dream represents the ability to move between the inner levels of consciousness. An elevator is a mechanical device that transports you between the floors of a building quickly and effortlessly. Unlike stairs, which require physical effort and time to climb, an elevator moves you between levels with the push of a button. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects the ability to move between the levels of your mind -- from the conscious to the subconscious to the superconscious -- with relative speed and ease. The floors of a building correspond to the levels of mind. The first floor is the conscious mind. Higher floors represent deeper levels of the subconscious mind. The top floor or penthouse represents the superconscious mind. The basement represents what is unconscious to you. An elevator gives you access to all of these levels without the slow, step-by-step effort that stairs require. This reflects a developed ability to shift between levels of consciousness fluidly -- perhaps through meditation, concentration, or an advanced state of spiritual practice. Pay attention to the direction of the elevator and which floor you are going to. Going up reflects moving into deeper, higher levels of consciousness -- accessing the subconscious or superconscious minds. Going down reflects returning to the conscious mind or descending into unconscious levels. Is the elevator moving smoothly, reflecting easy access between levels? Is it stuck, indicating that you are unable to move between levels of consciousness? Is it falling rapidly, suggesting an uncontrolled descent into lower states? Is it going to the top floor, reflecting an ascent toward your highest awareness? When an elevator shows up in your dream, it is reflecting your ability -- or your desire -- to access different levels of your own mind. Are you developing the practices that give you this

access? Concentration opens the door. Meditation pushes the button. Dream work builds the shaft. The more you develop these practices, the more effortlessly you can move between the levels of your consciousness, accessing the wisdom, power, and awareness stored at each level.
