Dream interpretation
A locked door often reflects internal inhibitions or external obstacles to your goals. If you are locking the door, you are likely trying to protect yourself or hide a painful truth. If you are trying to open it, it is a symbol of your desire to overcome an obstacle. In psychoanalysis, a door is a transition—if it is closed, you may not be ready for the next step just yet. Look for the 'key' in real life through new creative approaches.
