A symbol of passage between dream spaces—the basic structure of transition from one state to another.
A door in a dream—by superstition: open—to new opportunities, closed—to obstacles. A door is one of the most universal symbols of transition, less formal than a gate, but no less significant. An open, closed, or locked door in a dream often directly reflects the accessibility or inaccessibility of the next stage of life or internal material. The "Door" rune in the Raido archetype system describes the same image more briefly: a boundary that knows how to open.
curiosity, anticipation, sometimes anxiety before the unknown
Often arrives before decisions about moving forward—a new stage, a conversation, a change. Perhaps this door symbolizes a specific step that you are either ready to take or are currently putting off.
Identify one door (literal or metaphorical) that you have long been putting off opening, and take a small step toward it today.
