Of course the most well known symbol for a door in life is also the most well known dream symbol. A dream dictionary will usually suggest that if you have had a vague dream about walking through a door, then the meaning of dream probably has something to do with making progress, or taking opportunities that are being given to you. In metaphorical language which is commonly used, opportunities are often listed as different doors that you can take. If an opportunity becomes off limits to you, a door is said to have been closed. This is why walking through a door in your dream usually symbolizes that you have successfully taken an opportunity given to you. Either that, or the dream is trying to remind you that there is an opportunity that you should take in the future.
The dream meaning of a door can also be a bit more abstract, as if walking through a door in your dream implied that you were reaching a new level of consciousness, of understanding, or merely a completely new area in your life that you were not familiar with before. To merely see an open door in your dream, dream meanings would agree that this usually symbolizes options. You are looking at a list of options presented before you and deciding which one to take. You could also be deciding between two very important things. Each choice you have to make in life could also have a door to itself.
If a door is closed or locked in your dream, this symbolizes that you have not taken an opportunity, or that something that was offered to you was turned down. If you spend too much time trying to open the locked door in the dream, this can be a sign of the anxiety that you feel for not having taken the opportunity in the first place. Most dream interpretations would guess this to be the case.
Another dream interpretation of the door is when you are locking a door. Contrary to popular thought, this does not necessarily imply that you are cutting yourself off from opportunities; this merely means that you are cutting yourself off from others. The door is a sign for being concealed and for concealing oneself from the world. To dream about locking doors indicates that you may want to have some alone time in the near future or that you are growing tired of contact with other human beings for the moment. Do not let a dream like this, or a dream with this message alarm you too much. Take the advice that your mind is giving you, and take some time to yourself. Spending a few hours alone in your room doesn't always make you a hermit, and it can often be very beneficial to you if you have been overloaded in dealing with the problems of others recently.
I dreamed that I was in the kitchen doing the dishes when my mom just walked through the front door of my house and then I woke up…

Please, Can you help me with my dream? I was in a majestic building with high ceilings and marble walls and resounding halls. I walked out of it into its magnificent courtyard. Here, as I keep walking about amongst people, I see this beautiful stag's head made of white marble mounted over an open door (I can see its magnificently sculpted antlers and face). The open door leads out of the courtyard towards a long crowded corridor which is neither indoors nor outdoors. As I walk through the door I try to see what lies ahead, but the corridor is all shady except for a white strip of illuminated pillars only visible by looking upwards towards the sky. In the dream I seem to have no particular feelings except for a sense of awe and maybe matter-of-fact peacefulness. I was particularly fascinated by the white stag's head because it was so perfect and clear and detailed and beautiful. I cant explain how soothing it felt to watch it!!! What does my dream mean??? Please help.

So last night, to keep it short, I dreamt of an old, yet familiar, two story house. It was me, some kid, and an old lady. I was talking to the kid when all of a sudden my attention gears towards four bedroom doors all placed alongside each other upstairs. I hear the old woman mumbling something and then she starts speaking clearly when I look towards her and she says “ I can’t believe you all aren’t scared of it, you guys should be afraid. I told you, don’t go into the third door”(or something along those lines). As soon as she said that her face turned demonic/ghostly or whatever and then from there I was woken up by a weird noise from outside my place that resembled doors being shaken up. I woke up at 6:10a.m if that means anything. I don’t know if this is a warning or if it means that there are others around me trying to intimidate me from reaching a goal. I’m really interested in this because it felt very real and scary lol. I’m also at a point in life where I was presented with an opportunity and I’m currently thinking about accepting it or declining.. so there’s also that. If anyone knows what this could mean I’d be so grateful !

A dream of 6 doors that lead to 6 bedrooms which are located in an attic. I'm al ways terrified to go into these bedrooms but still do..in each bedroom there is a very old bed, dusty, and very old furniture. There is a presence in the air of each room it gets more evil with each door I open..I finally mastered my fear of these rooms and the evil in them.

Last night I dreamed that someone told me that "when the door opens for you, you HAVE TO walk thru it" and not to be scared. Then a door mystically appeared before me where there was only a wall.The stairs behind the door we're twisted and old and lead to another door adorned with a christian cross. I open that door to what looked like old hallway as twisted as the staircase. I took a few steps down the hall and got scared and bailed on the dream. This morning I deeply regret not completing the dream as I am at a spiritual crossroads in my life and feel like a higher power was really trying to tell me something.

This could mean that you are a little unsure of which religion to follow considering that the stairs and hall were twisted. Also you mentioned a cross, I’m guessing you are Christian or were raised Christian, and as you went through the door with a cross it lead to another door meaning that there is another true religion waiting for you to pursue. Now it’s your mission to go and explore other religions and just see if any of them gives you a connection with God. I hope this helped. (P.S. I personally think it would be best to try Islam. By the way this is just my opinion, it’s not forced on you in any way.)

I dreamt that I was going towards a door and there were two other before me. When the first opened the door there was nothing but a recangular black step, she stood on it but the step folded and the women fell down standing. I recall that we were at the third floor and we looked down it was somewhat green grass. What does that mean I wonder?

I dreamed that I am at the bottom of a flight of stairs with a key in my hand. At the top of the stairs is a hallway with closed doors on either side. I climb the stairs and try my key in one of the locks and all of the doors open.
