A dream in which you see a door that won’t open symbolizes a difficulty you face because you are using the wrong approach. The symbolism is that of a door that won’t open because you have the wrong key or none at all. It does not mean the door cannot open or the difficulty cannot be solved. It simply means you need to use the right approach.
Here are some meanings of a dream about a door that won’t open.
There is something you are trying to do that you should not
Seeing a door that won’t open symbolizes something you are trying to do that you really should not, something that could ruin your life or a department thereof.
Essentially, this has to do with your destiny and therefore has something to do with such things as your education, your career, or your relationship. If there are some new paths you would like to take in your life, make sure you know what you are doing.
There are unexpressed desires
A dream about doors that won’t open could symbolize desires that you are not going after. The locked door stands for the desires that have no way of coming out. These are desires that are tied to your destiny and keeping them unexpressed will mean jeopardizing your destiny. These could be desires linked to your career, education, or relationship.
You are running from something you should face
A door that won’t open in the dream could symbolize running from something that you really should face. This is the universe trying to make you turn back to whatever you are running from. It could either be a problem you do not want to solve or an opportunity you are afraid to take up.
Dream about being chased but the door won’t open
A dream in which you deal with a door that won’t open while being chased stands for mistakes you made that you do not want to solve or accept but that are constantly bothering you. This is not a negative dream as it means if you toughen up and face your mistakes, there are great things on the way.
A dream in which you see people chasing you but the door won’t open could also stand for an offense for which you do not want to apologize.
Dream about a dead person chasing you but they won’t open
Seeing a dead person chasing you could symbolize old opportunities, old goals and aspirations, old abilities and skills that you have abandoned but really should revisit.
The fact that you are finding it difficult to open the door and escape from this dead person means your destiny could be tied to the goals, ambitions, and skills that you have abandoned. You need to awaken them.
Dream about a dog chasing you but the door won’t open
Seeing a dog chase you but the door won’t open stands for a friendship that you could benefit from but do not want it. It is not that the other person is bad company per se. It could just be that you cannot see any reason to keep them as a friend. But since the locked door is keeping you from escaping this dog, it means this friendship could result in something that ushers you into your greatness.
