Ever have recurring dreams? Maybe I should rephrase that. Ever have recurring themes in dreams?
One of the most recurring themes I encounter are elevators. Mostly set in hotels. They can be any style, from any era. Sometimes they are accompanied by a "hidden" back stairwell. Some of these elevators are in high tech office or industrial buildings, almost sci-fi. I don't understand why I dream so frequently of lifts or what it symbolizes.
Another recurring theme is water. Almost any body of water! The ocean, a stream, river, lake, pond, flood. You name it, I have dreamt about it. Sometimes I was able to breathe under water. Some people fly, I can inhale water. I haven't had a mermaid induced nocturnal image in quite awhile, though.
Finally, the "being late to work dream." I contantly encounter the tardiness nightmares. I am late for work, I don't have the right uniform, it is getting later and later and I can't/don't call my employer to let them know that I am delayed or possibly not going to make it in to work. I have to ride a motorcycle, which I don't know how to operate. Or worse, a bicycle on the Los Angeles Freeway System. I know, insane.

Elevator: Dreaming that you are ascending in an elevator means that you will quickly rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint. Descending in an elevator indicates that misfortunes will crush and discourage you. The up and down action of the elevator may represent the ups and downs of your life go emerging out of and submerging into your subconscious. Dreaming that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off, symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control.
Hotel: Seeing a hotel in your dream means a new state of mind or a shift in personal identity. You need to move away from your old habits and old way of thinking.
Underwater: Dreaming that you are underwater, suggests that you are feeling overcome with emotions and are in need of greater control in your life. You may be in over your head regarding some situation. Dreaming that you are breathing underwater, represents a retreat back into the womb. You want to return to a state where you were dependent and free from responsibilities. Perhaps you are feeling helpless, unable to fulfill your own needs and caring for yourself. Alternatively, you may be submerged in your emotions.
Stairs: Dreaming that you are walking up a flight of stairs indicates that you are achieving a higher level of understanding. You are making progress into your spiritual/emotional/material journey. It also represents material and thoughts that are coming to the surface. Dreaming that you are walking down a flight of stairs, represents your repressed thoughts. It suggests that you are going into your unconscious. It also refers to setbacks that you will experience in your life. If you are afraid of going down the stairs, then it suggests that you are afraid to confront your repressed emotions and thoughts. Is there something from your past that you are not acknowledging. Seeing spiral or winding stairs, signify growth and/or rebirth.
