Dream Symbols in The Dream Encyclopedia
by James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver
Doors may have a variety of different meanings—meanings that can usually be ascertained depending on how the door is disposed in a dream. An open door indicates a new opportunity; stepping through a doorway means appropriating a new opportunity, or entering into a new phase of life; a choice of many doorways shows a juncture at which a choice must be made; and a locked door indicates something repressed or hidden.
A closed door may represent something hidden, or it may symbolize an opportunity that is closed to us. (See also Gate.)
