A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences

by Tony Crisp
Example: I’m trapped in a long passageway or corridor. I can’t get out. I’m feeling my way along the wall— there is a small light at the end of the tunnel, I can’t get to it. I’m very frightened. I wake up before I get to the end. Then I feel afraid to go back to sleep’ (Margaret).

The example may refer to the experience of birth in the birth canal. Such a corridor can also depict our sense of not being able to get out of an unsatisfactory situation. No man’s land; limbo; in-be- tween state; the process of going from one thing to another.

A Dictionary of Dream Symbols

by Eric Ackroyd
(1) As a passage connecting different rooms, a corridor may symbolize a passing from one phase of your life to another; from one self-image to another; or from self-image or something deeper, and closer to your real self.

See also Bridge, Crossing, Door.

(2) If, however, the corridor is long and / or dark and you never get to the end of it, the most likely meaning is that you are desperate to get out of some situation, external or internal.
