Dreaming of escalator represents higher pursuits in your life. It could be in any area of your life including personal, financial, spiritual, relationships, or career. Dreaming that the escalator is going up indicates success in a particular area of your life. On the other hand, if the escalator is going down, it indicates feelings of failure in your endeavor. An escalator that is not working or stopped could represent an area of your life in which you have ignored or forgotten about. This symbol acts as a reminder to pay attention to a certain area of your life. Look for other clues in the dream to determine the situation in which you need to pay attention. Alternatively, dreaming of an escalator could represent a higher or expanded perspective. If the escalator is moving up it indicates that you are viewing (or need to view) a problem, situation, or challenge from a broader perspective and examine it from a global point of view. On the other hand, if the escalator is moving down it could indicate that you need to take a more “on the ground” approach to your problem solving. You may be getting lost in the big picture and ignoring the details of a situation.
