This has been happening to me since I was a kid. I would dream of some kind of a lift, sometimes it is during the events of a dream, sometimes I appear right inside at the beginning of the dream. What happens is the lift starts going up, floor by floor. There are usually about 6 or 7 floors in the building, but when I reach the top, it doesn't stop. The elevator either smashes right through the roof and flies into the air with me, or the number of floors starts to increase and the elevator keeps going up, unstoppable. Once I had a dream where the floors increased to about 27 or so. The top floor was actually the 7th, but then the lift broke through the roof and there was a huge glass tube above the building that was pulling the lift higher and higher. The lift became transparent (probably turned into glass, too), so I could see the building and the whole town right below me. That was quite scary, I often lie down on my stomach inside, hoping that the lift won't suddenly come crashing down. I've had this kind of dream last night again, so I decided to share my experience. I took the lift to reach my apartment, which is on the 4th floor and I thought "I'm glad this is not a dream and I can leave the lift now"... But when I got to the 4th floor, I couldn't open the door, and again, the lift went up to the 5th, then 6th... and then crashed into the ceiling. This time I woke up after a few seconds. This was actually the first time I almost became lucid during such an event - at the end of the dream, when the lift crashed, I felt my "presence" increasing, but woke up (I'm quite new to Lucid Dreaming, but these dreams keep haunting me almost my whole life). Maybe I could finally deal with it through lucidity?

Any ideas appreciated - experiences, advices, anything .
