Dreams don't usually bother me, but for some the one I had last night is really bugging me. I would love if anybody has any idea what (if anything) this might mean. Apologies for the rambling manner in which this is written.

I am at some type of theme park with hotels...vague recollection of leaving my family
and I go off by myself; end up back at the hotel. Another
vague impression of having argument with a husband or s.o. who wasn't necessarily my spouse in real life, but don't know anyone else who it might be. My s.o. had already left and gone back to room.

I walk to the elevator banks and get anxious because I don't remember my room number; can't get hold of s.o. for some reason so I figure that I will just go to the 4th floor and hope for the best.

None of the elevators go to the 4th floor. Can't get to the one I want so keep taking elevators to try and get to another floor that might get me closer to where I want to go. As time goes on, more and more people arrive and crowd me out and I am afraid of being stampeded or caught in the elevator doors as they close...

Eventually the elevator areas turn into kind of an airport terminal with people waiting around for the signs at the various gates to come up with a destination where they want to go or maybe catch a connecting flight to a more desirable place??

Hello amberkat, I've had a lot of dreams with "theme parks" in them before, but they were never happy dreams for me. I always got the impression that these parks represented how other people seemed to have fun doing things I didn't, for example, like rude actions or dangerous actions. Like I was unhappy and out of place in a place that was fun and stressless for others.

About a man who may have not been your husband, he might have been your husband in a dream form which looked a little different depending on how you felt about him at the time.

Having to ride in the elevator may just be because your mind knows that it's the form of transportation you would take in a hotel. However, the fact that you lost the room with your husband or s.o. who you had an argument earlier may have meant you feel you lose your "safe zone" when you argue with your husband in real life and you can't find a way to it again, or maybe it even means how easy it is for you to get separated emotionally. The fact that the elevator got crowded out may generically show that you have more and more difficulty finding your "safe zone" in an unusual place, or that people who you think know what they are doing are only making you feel more lost. I think it matters how you felt on the elevator.

I think the airport taking the elevators' place was just showing how you became even more distant from finding your "safe" zone, I think.

Your elevators (like stairs) are interesting to me. I know different levels relate to thought/brain (top level), emotions/sexual energy (lower level/basement), etc. I usually have stairs though and had a dream where I was late for therapy because I was at work (top floor :-) and got a new project that was exciting and I wanted to do that instead of go but I really wanted to go to therapy too (which was in the basement) so I'm running down the stairs and got stopped in the middle by a problem only I could solve -- I had to choose to do the "right"/honest thing and be later to therapy or keep going to therapy so I would not be as late, ignore the situation that had stopped me (the situation was significant in itself, too).

You don't know where to find something you are looking for and eventually get crowded out. Everything is sort of vague though, you start with your family of origin at an amusement park and then set off to join your significant other. Sounds sort of like growing up to me. That it is sort of vague around the edges would indicate to me that it is not an immediate or specific problem (like I had with the late for therapy dream which my therapist and I worked on that week) but more an ongoing/"life" problem; don't know if you have a pleasant or safe childhood, were with "fun" people and felt one of them, etc. and then going off on your own you feel insecure/an impostor (don't know what you are doing, where to find your so, etc.) or, from the other end, are having trouble with finding an appropriate/good so and your childhood looks good in the distance by comparison, you are not fitting in/being crowded out by your more current task.

There is a dream interpretation website called dream moods that I have found helpful.

The elevator took you to to places that your forgot, because they are no longer important to you. Now you arrived to a place of potential connections, that can now take you to better places..good luck on your journey.
