Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
The primary meaning behind the escalator connects to its movement to upper or lower aspects of thought and consciousness.

The direction in which you are moving will determine whether you are examining what is deeper and more hidden or are aspiring to higher levels of functioning.

The slow, steady pace of an escalator symbolizes the gentleness and grace in the process of investigation that is going on.

A broken escalator means that you will have to do more work to figure out what is currently challenging you.

Strangest Dream Explanations

Dreams of an escalator symbolize that you are rising gracefully to new heights; you are climbing the ladder of success with relative ease. You know where you are going and you’re moving to the top.

If you are moving down, you are either going in the wrong direction or you are exploring the depths of your nature.

My Dream Interpretation

Dreams about escalators represent changes in our lifestyles or in our romantic status. Going down an elevator is a common metaphor for entering into deeper levels of awareness. Going up means you will succeed in getting where you want to go, but there will be challenges along the way.
