Elevator
Lift, Escalator
Riding an elevator in a dream often mirrors the ups and downs of your status, spirits or confidence. Going up suggests progress, recognition or a lift in how you feel. Going down can mean you're looking into deeper feelings, or that something seems to be slipping. Being stuck between floors fits a situation where you're waiting for a decision. An elevator that goes sideways or won't obey the buttons often comes when you feel someone else is in control.
