Door
A threshold of decision
What it often means
A door is a threshold of decision. The dream is showing you a possibility your waking mind has not quite let itself approach. Whether the door is open, closed, locked, or unfamiliar carries the precise quality of the choice waiting for you.
When it tends to appear
- Before a decision your instincts have already made
- When something new is asking permission to enter your life
- When you have been hesitating at the edge of change
Sit with these questions
- 1
Was the door open, closed, or locked?
- 2
Did you cross it — and if not, what held you back?
- 3
What threshold in your waking life are you standing at right now?
