Elevator
I was in NYC walking around. I went into the Empire State Building and while on the ground level I noticed a large sliding door open and close. I waited for the door to open again and I rushed the door with a crowd of people. We were all in this large room. In front of us was more very large sliding doors. These were the elevator doors. The tickets were $100 to take this election. When the doors open I rushed in. There were these stainless steel handrails mounted to the floor that formed several rows where people would stand between. I walk into a row that was empty. The row I was in had a computer at the far end. I moved back towards the end of the row and when the rows were almost full the door closed. A df in the next row look like he worked there and asked me to move so he could be near the computer. The elevator was absolute huge. It could have held at least eighty people. It began moving up very slowly. I began to imagine how large the cables were that lifted this huge elevator. I had thoughts that the electric would cut out and we were be stuck in the elevator, but I immediately dismissed the thought. That elevator brought us about 3/4 of the hight of the building. I then found myself in the next elevator but it was much smarter and cost $50. I began coming in and out of the dream state at this point. It wasn’t like I was having an actual experience, within the dream, of riding elevators to the top of the building. It was more like I was imagining it. Anyway I imagined having to take a flight of stairs after getting off the second elevator in order to get to the top. I wasn’t deeply in the dream state because it was about time for me to get up anyway. I was laying there in bed thinking how incorrect the dream was because in waking life many years ago I had went to the top of the Empire State Building. There is not one big elevator but several medical sized elevators. But it was a fun dream to have anyway.

This dream involving elevators and the Empire State Building can symbolize a journey of personal growth, ambition, or navigating different stages in life. The Empire State Building, an iconic and towering structure, often represents lofty goals or aspirations. Entering large sliding doors and joining a crowd before the elevator ride may suggest a feeling of moving with others through shared experiences or societal expectations. The elevators themselves are significant symbols of transition and change, moving you from one level to another—both literally and metaphorically. The large elevator with rows of people and handrails might reflect a structured environment or pathway, where progress is gradual and collective. The presence of a computer and the request to move for a worker could hint at systems or roles that influence your journey. Your thoughts about the elevator cables and potential power loss point to underlying concerns about stability or control during times of change, but your dismissal of those fears suggests resilience or trust in the process. Transferring to a second, smarter, and cheaper elevator might reflect adaptability, access to new opportunities, or seeking a more efficient path forward. The experience of drifting between dream and wakefulness, and your reflection on the actual layout of the Empire State Building, highlights the interplay between imagination, memory, and perception. This aspect of the dream could symbolize your conscious mind gently bridging memories with current reflections, perhaps indicating a readiness to awaken from old patterns or re-evaluate past experiences. Overall, this dream may encourage contemplation about your personal ascent—how you progress toward your goals, the structures that support or challenge you, and the ways you navigate between external realities and internal reflections. It suggests a blend of ambition, communal experience, and thoughtful awareness along your path.
