Locking Doors in Dream

The act of locking doors in your dreams indicate you are shutting yourself off from friends and family. You choose privacy and distance to protect yourself. However, this approach continues to haunt you because you are not able to solve these troubles on your own as you lock the closed doors in the dreams. Take a step back, and unlock the doors, let others see your weakness and guide you through troubled times.

  1. i have a recurring nightmare where i’m in a house (the house changes with each nightmare) and i’m picking out a room. idk how i know, but i know something is trying to get me so i start to lock the doors. the more doors i lock, the more pop up needing to be locked to the point i’m in a panic because whatever the thing is is getting closer. the last nightmare i had about locking doors, a man broke through a window and grabbed me but his head was blank. i could tell he had one but i couldn’t make out any identifying characteristics. i’ve never been attacked in any of the nightmares i’ve had about them until this time which was two days ago. i’m still shaken up over it. the nightmares always scare me and i’m scared of falling asleep but this last one has truly terrified me.

  2. In my dream I went into a clothing store at night with my Grandma.

    I felt like someone unsafe was coming so I locked the glass sliding door to the shop. The door failed to lock on my first attempt. I then locked it on my second attempt.

    A male with a bandana covering the bottom half of his face stood outside. He was holding a black rock and then started to throw it at the glass door, but didn’t let go of the rock. He then went to the CCTV Camera and started doing the same (pretending to throw the rock at the camera but not actually letting go of the rock).

    I then woke up from the dream and was anxious.

    What does this mean?

  4. In my dream, I was sleeping when I heard someone knocking the foot but I couldn’t stand up because a man was holding me down.
    I was trying hard to get out or to see the man but I couldn’t. During all the time someone still knocking the door.
    I rushed downstairs and open the door without thinking. It was a young woman who said that was here to visiting my neighbor.
    I said that I don’t know her or be close to my neighbor and that would be better if she call my neighbor to let her in.
    I got distracted and she disappear but I got the feeling that she went inside. I lock the street door and comeback to my room and lock that door too but I still having the feeling
    So I checked my apartment door and it was slightly open, so I proceed to lock it too.
    When I see through the magic eye in the door I felt someone was behind me but when I turned I couldn’t see anyone

  7. In my dream, I was locking doors with different types of locks until I go to the bathroom heard a scary instrumental song and this person appeared out of nowhere and everything went black and I had to start over in repeat like a loop this time with more caution and faster but out of fear.

  12. I was at my best friend’s house in their living room and in real life they don’t lock their doors. Like at all. So in my dream this man with red hair keeps coming into the house through the back and garage door and takes pictures of us. He scares us when he comes in since we don’t know him and I proceed to lock the door when he leaves but he keeps coming into the house and with each time he become increasingly more sneaky and creepy. He sulks around with his camera taking pictures and when we spot him he leaves. But no matter how many time I lock the door he still gets in the house. When I woke up I had extreme anxiety about it and couldn’t calm myself down, I couldn’t even do my morning workout I was so freaked out.

  13. I had a dream of being in a large house with many people in the middle or nowhere. Suddenly, a home invasion was happening so we had to lock all of the doors and even the windows (some of the windows had a serious of three or more intricate locks that took a while) and at least two attics to climb up through and locking those collapsible ladder-doors. The invaders eventually got through the windows or something that we didn’t get too yet, so we jumped out the windows, scaled the side of the building and sat on the roof until they would just leave
