Elevators represent a type of transportation that you can use on your journey to the sky, either literal or figurative, for example: The first time you go up in an elevator means that you are getting somewhere and moving forward with your life.
When you dream about meeting someone important in an elevator, this is an indication that they may have had some kind of impact on your life and even saved it.
On the other hand, when you are stuck at home and cannot escape because there’s an elevator breakdown in a dream, this indicates that something is broken or not going well and it must be fixed as soon.
