Knob dream meaning is explained below using 13 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- To be dreaming of a knob such as a doorknob can indicate some kind of turning point in one’s life.

A noticeable contrast between the door and the knob can present the dreamer with certain insights.

For instance, a very plain knob on an ornate door mav indicate that the process of moving forward from a situation is very easy.

To dream of any other sort of knob is often to do with one’s hold on a situation.

2- Since many people still have difficulty in calling ‘private parts’ by their correct name, a knob appearing in a dream can represent the penis or, if the dreamer is a man, his masculinity.

3- Spiritually, a knob can suggest changes occurring in the way we access our subconscious self.

Material aspects: When we are turning a knob we need to decide whether we are turning it clockwise or anti-clockwise. Clockwise will signify a positive move, anti-clockwise perhaps an initially more difficult one, but one which will ultimately present further opportunities.
