Doorstep
The step outside the front door — the place of arrival, departure, and the deciding pause between inside and outside.
A doorstep in a dream is the dream's image of the place of arrival, departure, and the deciding pause between inside and outside. The doorstep is small and is the site of more decisions than most rooms. The dream brings the doorstep when something in your life — a visit, a courier, an unexpected caller — is currently at the point of being either let in or kept out. A doorstep on which a welcomed guest is greeted is the dream affirming the openness. A doorstep on which an honest caller is left standing while the door stays shut is the dream noting that the decision has been made to keep them outside, and the threshold itself is doing the rejecting.
