What does it mean to dream about threshold?

A symbolic boundary between two states or dream spaces—the point where one ends and another begins.

The Threshold is an archetypal symbol of transition, the moment between "no longer" and "not yet", requiring special attention and awareness. In ritual traditions, a threshold is often considered a place of greatest psychic permeability—where transformations happen most easily.
