The symbolism of a door in a dream can connect with the idea of stepping into a new area of life, or having a new experience, which are commonly depicted as walking through a door. Doors are associated with choices. When you dream about making choices, that can be visualized as your having a number of doors from which to choose. For example, you can choose among schools, subjects to study, or places to live. You subconsciously know what’s behind the doors and what picking one means. A door can be used make choices about what sort of person you are or will become. For example, a woman with a limited sex life dreams about being in a red-light district with her girlfriends, just for fun, and she sees a beautiful woman on display behind a window. Next to the window is a door, and she knows what going through the door means. Her girlfriends push her toward it and for a moment she’s ready to give in to the temptation, but turns away. This shows her decision to remain in a limited sex life. She’s not ready. Her friends in the dream are the sexually adventurous ones who push her to be more like them. Doors are used in dream imagery related to areas of the mind. When a dream visits a certain area of your memory, for instance, it can visualize that area as being behind a door. This use of the symbolism often goes hand in hand with finding unexplored rooms in your house. The house is your psyche, and the unexplored rooms are unknown parts of yourself. See: Psyches Along this line, a common dream theme involves barging through the door and into a scene where you are unwelcome. The dream characters act like you’re an intruder. And they’re right: you have entered an area of your psyche that you’re not ready to access. You have more maturing to do first. Locking a door can symbolize keeping something out of your life. See: Locks Unlocking a door can symbolize getting access to something that had been denied to you. See: Keys A back door can symbolize a secret or some way you’re vulnerable. See: Back doors The front door of your home is the boundary between your private life inside the home and your public life outside of it. Therefore, dreams featuring your front door can connect with subjects of privacy, intrusion, and what you share about yourself publicly. A man dreams about going to his new home where his family and friends have a house-warming party. He’s not much interested in socializing and is happy when they all leave, and he can be alone. As soon as he sits down, someone knocks at the front door. He opens the door and no one is there. He sits back down he sees an indistinct white figure come to the door and knock, and when he opens the door it is gone. And it happens again and again, angering him. The dream is about the subject of privacy and solitude. The dreamer is reclusive and entering a stage of life where he can keep people out of his life, a stage symbolized by moving into a new home—obviously symbolism because he is not actually moving into a new home. The front door symbolizes the boundary he sets up against intrusions into his life, and the action at the front door symbolizes his frustration at being unable to keep people out. It’s not particular people, it’s people in general, symbolized as the indistinct white figure. See also: Back doors, Burglary, Darkness, Discovering, Home, Intruders, Keys, Locks, Psyches, Strangers
