Elevator
An elevator's motion carried its whole meaning: to rise in one foretold a swift climb to standing and wealth; to descend, misfortune that could crush and discourage; one standing still, a danger near. Sometimes the dream asks which way you're truly moving in your life, and whose hand is working the controls.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for elevator, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of ascending in an elevator, denotes you will swiftly rise to position and wealth, but if you descend in one your misfortunes will crush and discourage you. If you see one go down and think you are left, you will narrowly escape disappointment in some undertaking. To see one standing, foretells threatened danger.
