In general:
Lift (elevator) indicates that we wish to come up quickly and easily and solve problems fast, but that will be successful only, if we exerts more. If lift bring us in the dream to a higher floor, we are likely to rise with assistance, but those, who travels with him down quickly, do not have enough requirements for rising right now. If the lift take us to the basement, is indicated for in the waking state, we may need even to check our feelings, it might be shocking, if these feelings come to light.
Psychologically:
Lift is similar dream symbols as the ladder and the stairs, and lift also is a sign of transformation processes. However, this change does not happen on its own. If dreamer in lift or elevator moves fast and weightless, then this dream interpretation is same as flying. This may be a sign of overconfidence and ideas that do not correspond to reality. If dreamer go up in lift, then it reflects the wish of the dreamer for success and self-affirmation. When the elevator gets stuck in a dream, this is a sign of a disturbance in the personality development of the dreamer or inferiority feelings. If the elevator goes down and the dreamer felt uncomfortable, then in this dream can be expressed fears for the future.
