Knocking
Knocking heard in a dream often touches news arriving — tidings of a grave nature, all the more serious if it startles you awake. The dream may ask what message you sense pressing at the edge of your awareness, whether you're ready to answer the door, and what weighty word is making its way insistently toward you.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for knocking, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To hear knocking in your dreams, denotes that tidings of a grave nature will soon be received by you. If you are awakened by the knocking, the news will affect you the more seriously.
