Hallway dream meaning is explained below using 10 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Martha Clarke

It indicates a state of transition. The dream may be pleasant or terrifying, depending on how fluid or winding the way is and the existence or lack of light at the end of the hall.

It is important to analyze all the elements that appear throughout the corridor because they reflect the dreamer’s emotional state at the time of transit. However, the final key is the feeling that you have as you follow the path into the unknown. Running along a corridor without ever seeing the end may show the need to escape from a distressing situation that is repeated too often in reality. Also, it may refer to the attitudes that you must leave behind to pass from one life stage to another. Corridors and passages are places where energy is moving rapidly but never accumulates. This dream, therefore, may denote that we are in danger of losing all our energy and vitality.

Interpretation 2 — Ibn Seerin

(Corridor, Doorman) In a dream, a hallway represents a servant who controls and manages the business and life of his employer. It also represents a doorman, or one’s actions that guides him to his purpose, or one’s deeds that could lead him either to paradise or to hell-fire.

A hallway in a dream also represents one’s grave, since the grave is a hallway to either heaven or hell, or it may represent the steps of a sick person or a handicapped person. Its lights, size and the ease of crossing it in the dream reflect the outcome.

Interpretation 3 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

A hallway is a part of any indoor structure that leads to other more significant rooms. In the realm of consciousness, the hallway is a symbol of an inner transition or change.

If your dream takes place in a hallway or features one strongly, then you are in some sort of process that has not yet led you to your final destination.
