elevator

[Jazon]

Hi all i work in a hospital and i am always getting the lift to move around at work, i dont mind and i am not scare of the elevator nor i dont feel claustrophobic inside. but i night i dream alot of getting inside the lift and all of a sudden the cable breaks and its goes down free fall. Lately i realise that i am dreaming and wake up so i dont get scared anymore, it could be a good LD technique for me to use that i am dreaming but i am really scared at that moment that i cant try to use it. My question is why do i dream alot of the elevator breaking? Thanx guys

In my opinion some things don't work right in dreams because somewhere in the back of your mind is "Well it would suck if my car didn't start / elevator broke / lights went out" etc. I think it has to do with the mind's unconscious tendency to think of what you don't want to happen while you're consciously thinking of what's supposed to be happening... just my .02. Have you ever hit the bottom? The only time I can remember being in an elevator in a dream the same thing happened but in mine it eventually slammed to a stop. None of us inside were hurt even though I was weightless for a few seconds. Then it started moving horizontally and threw me against the wall.
