When we dream about buildings, they typically represent our psyche and how we are currently feeling. So, dreams about hotels will reflect our subconsciousness and these dreams will help us understand our true inner state.
Dreams about hotels are interesting because they can reflect so many different things, and it all depends on the type of hotel and how you are feeling in the dream.
Because hotels are places where we do not live, dreams about hotels typically reflect transition and change in your waking life. You may also not feel truly ‘at home’ where you are right now, and this can be reflected in your dreams.
In this article, I will look at some common dreams about hotels and what you can learn from them!
How To Analyze Dreams About Hotels
Before we begin going through some common dreams about hotels, I thought it would be useful to look at why we should analyze our dreams and how we can analyze them.
Dreams are super important for our spiritual and personal growth. This is because they reflect our subconsciousness, using symbolism to portray how we are feeling.
Because our dreams are linked with our subconsciousness, they help us discover new things about ourselves and allow us to tap into feelings, fears, and desires that we might be suppressing. Learning about these suppressed feelings can help us move forward in life.
So, how can we analyze dreams about hotels?
How Are You Feeling?
When you are wishing to analyze your dream about hotels, it is important to begin by pinpointing your emotions and feelings in the dream.
Are you feeling safe? Or, are you feeling lost and confused?
Do you feel as if you are on holiday in the dream? Perhaps you are enjoying your time at the hotel and are feeling relaxed.
What Is The Hotel Like?
Recall what the hotel in your dream is like. Is it a fancy hotel, with glamorous rooms and a beautiful view? Or, is it run down and dirty?
Are there any other people in the hotel, or are you alone? If there are people around you, how do you feel about them? Are they people you know, or strangers?
You should also have a think about why you might be in the hotel, and if you are staying there or just visiting. Do you have a room at the hotel? Or can you not seem to find one?
If you are in a hotel room in your dream, recall the conditions of the room and the things that stick out to you.
Common Dreams About Hotels And What They Mean
Now we know how to approach dreams about hotels and the best ways to analyze them, we can look at common dreams about hotels and what they might mean for you.
Here are some common dreams about hotels and what they can reflect!
Dreams About A Luxury Hotel
Dreams about hotels typically suggest that you are going through a transformational state right now in your life. If the hotel in your dream is luxurious, your subconsciousness is telling you that this change is positive.
You may be feeling a little bit concerned about the future right now. Perhaps you are taking risks with your work and career, and don’t know if they will pay off. You might have recently decided to change things up and take a new path in life.
If you are dreaming that you are staying in a luxurious hotel, your psyche is telling you that there is no need to be worried! You are moving in the right direction, with really exciting prospects on the horizon.
You know deep down that you have what it takes to get to where you want to be, so don’t forget this! Listen to your subconsciousness and move forward on your journey in life!
Dreams About a Run Down Hotel
If you are having dreams about hotels and the hotel is not comfortable and clean, your psyche is telling you that your fears are really starting to affect your journey in life.
You are at a funny stage in your life, and you don’t really feel at home or relaxed in your waking life. This is reflected in your dreams about hotels – you are at a transitional period, but are not enjoying it. There are changes occurring that are out of your control, and you are worried about your health, wellbeing, and future.
We all feel confused and scared from time to time, but your subconsciousness is telling you that you need to tackle your fears. What can you do in order to feel more comfortable and relaxed in your waking life?
I love to use crystals and meditate when I am feeling lost in the world. These spiritual tools can really help us become grounded and at one with ourselves.
Dreams About Empty Hotels
If you are dreaming about empty hotels, this typically reflects anxiety within you. You are feeling lonely in your life, and don’t know where to turn. Perhaps there is some trauma that you haven’t dealt with, and it is starting to alienate you from those around you.
You may not be fully aware of what is affecting you right now, so it is time to open up and talk to your friends and family. Your loved ones are always there for you and will be supportive if you reach out to them.
Tell those you love how you are feeling, and allow yourself to open up and connect with those important people in your life.
In order to resolve the conflict and trauma within you, you may want to seek help from a therapist or counselor. Seeing a professional is a great way to talk through your feelings and pinpoint exactly what is bothering you right now.
Dreams About Hotel Elevators
Dreams about elevators will typically reflect your emotions. Just like elevators, our emotions and feelings can go up and down pretty quickly!
If, in your dreams about hotels, you are in a hotel elevator, consider your attitude towards the changes that you are going through in your life right now. You are in a state of transition and are making decisions at the moment that will significantly impact your future.
However, you don’t fully understand your emotions towards this transition. On the surface, you may feel calm and positive, but your psyche is telling you something different!
You may be blocking out your emotions right now. Perhaps you are worried that letting yourself feel anxious or sad about the changes you are going through will affect your future and the journey you are going on.
However, by denying your emotions, you are not allowing yourself to keep them in check. It is really important to feel all our emotions and identify how we can use them in a productive and positive way.
Dreams About Hotels on Fire
The four elements of earth, wind, fire, and water will crop up in our dreams a lot. This is because they are what makes up the universe, and therefore we are spiritually connected to them.
So, what might it mean to have dreams about hotels on fire? This is a pretty scary dream and can feel destructive and painful.
However, dreams about hotels on fire are actually a good sign from your subconsciousness. Hotels represent transition, and fire reflects rebirth and energy. Yes, there is a destructiveness to fire, but sometimes we need to have this to get the fresh start and new opportunities that we need to move forward in life.
If you are having dreams about hotels on fire, your psyche is telling you that major changes are happening in your life, but they will ultimately lead you to happiness and progression. You are entering a new stage of your life, and the old you needs to be left behind.
It is an exciting, scary, and emotional time! However, you are on the right track, and soon you will discover your true path in life.
Dreams About Getting Lost in A hotel
If you are having dreams about getting lost in a hotel, it suggests that you are a bit lost in life right now and don’t feel as if you are at home in the waking world. Perhaps you are struggling with identifying your true goals, not knowing what career or life path you should be on.
It is okay to get lost from time to time. Life is a journey, and there are ups and downs along the way! For some people, finding their true path in life takes a while, and they will go through so many different transitional periods until they find out where they should really be.
Dreams About Hotel lobbies
As dreams about hotels usually suggest that you are going through a transformative period in your life, dreaming about hotel lobbies suggests that you are in need of guidance from other people.
You may be having to make some big decisions about your work and family life, and you may feel a bit overwhelmed about making these choices.
If you are in a hotel lobby during your dream, your psyche is telling you that in order to move on with your life, you need to reach out for some friendly advice!
This might just be asking your friends and family members their opinions on your situation and how they feel you can move forward. However, it may suggest that you seek advice from someone with a certain level of authority. Seeing a financial or career advisor might be a good opportunity for you to understand where you are right now, and where you need to go in order to get to where you wish to be!
Dreams About Searching For A Hotel
Perhaps you are having a dream where you need a place to stay, and are searching all over for a hotel or a place to sleep. You may feel pretty panicked in the dream. Perhaps night is drawing in, and you desperately need to find the hotel that you know is around somewhere…
This anxiety dream suggests that there are certain obstacles in your way that are affecting your ability to move forward with your hopes and goals.
You may not be fully aware of these obstacles right now. Perhaps you are ignoring problems that you feel are small and irrelevant. However, it is important to tackle these issues in order to be able to move forward in life.
Your subconsciousness is telling you that you must address these obstacles, however small you feel they are. By addressing any issues, you are able to leave them in the past and move forward on your journey in life.
Dreams About Haunted Hotels
Okay, you may have dreams about haunted hotels because you recently watched The Shining. A film that scary kinda sticks in your mind for a while!
However, if you have not watched the Kubrick classic lately, dreams about hotels that are haunted can suggest that there are things in your past that you need to address before moving forward with your next life stage.
Dreams about haunted hotels normally are about relationships or people that you want to move on from, but haven’t. Your subconsciousness is preoccupied with this past relationship, and this means that your transition into the next stage of life is not going smoothly.
It is time to have a think about who your subconsciousness might be preoccupied with, and what you might need to do in order to leave the relationship truly in the past. You may need to talk to this person or talk to a counselor in order to work through your feelings about the situation.
