Interpretation 3 — Theresa Cheung

If you are knocking on a door in your dream, this suggests a desire to make contact with or hear from someone. It can also indicate the need for love and care, or to be the focus of someone’s undivided attention in waking life.

Alternatively, you may have been knocking on wood in a superstitious attempt to ward off misfortune. Another interpretation suggests that your attention is being called to whom or what was knocking, perhaps some aspect of yourself that needs to be allowed in.
