Doors enable us to enter spaces, but they also protect our privacy and wellbeing. They symbolically represent new opportunities arising before a person.

There is a well-known saying of Alexander Graham Bell, which says: “When one door closes, another one opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us”.

This saying talks about how many of us are missing chances because we keep lamenting for the things we didn’t do. It is also a reminder not to succumb to despair because of some loss we have suffered, but always keep looking in the future and the opportunities it brings.

Dreams about doors also represent changes and new opportunities. They can often indicate getting a chance to do things differently and amend a mistake. Doors are also a sign of transition from different stages in life.

Dream about a door in general could be a very meaningful dream especially if you dream it often.

This dream could also point out to an insecurity you could be feeling in some situation. It is possible that you are undecisive about some matters in your life and the dream reveals your feelings.

The dream could also be an announcement of finally making up your mind about something. It could mean beginning something new or going through a transformation.

Doors in dreams often represent protection. In some cases, doors indicate missed opportunities. The details of the dream, especially the ones regarding the door are very important for deciphering the meaning of the dream in your current situation.

You need to consider both the details of the dream as well as the details of your present reality.

For example, there is a difference in interpretation between a dream of an open door and a dream of a closed door.

The first one might be interpreted as an open opportunity while the second could be interpreted as a missed opportunity, but still you need to decipher the meaning using your current circumstances. If the door was locked, that could possibly mean that you have some goals and desires that are currently unattainable.

Doors can be considered as symbols of protection and in some cases, they could mean exactly that.

If you are currently feeling unsafe and you have a dream about doors, that is maybe your subconscious trying to console you by sending you a message that everything will be alright, and you are safe.

The interpretations can be multiple, and it is up to you to try to decipher them by using all available details.
