Door Latch
To see a door latch in a dream signifies a bad servant who suffers from setting out on a journey. A wooden latch signifies a conquest and victory achieved through guile.
If someone sees in a dream that his door has been locked with a bolt, it signifies that he is incapable of safeguarding the affairs of this world.
If someone wishes to close his door in a dream but is unable to close it, it signifies that he refrains from something before which he has been rendered helpless. A bolt fastened behind a door sometimes signifies a child, a crippled wife, or an animal that walks slowly. At times, it signifies being safe from fear, protection from an enemy, buried treasure, or a dead person in a grave; and at times, it signifies magic, concealing secrets, and remaining behind instead of undertaking a journey.
Positive Meaning
It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.
Shadow Meaning
Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.
Advice
In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, journey and change, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
