Knocking

The actual meaning of “knocking” translates differently in your dream as opposed to the transitional stage between wakefulness and sleep. In dreams its a sign of something new occurring or related to the dreadful sleep paralysis. To dream of a knocking someone out implies repressed emotions pent up directed at this person. The person you are knocking out might be a direct target or they possess unconscous qualities that mirror somebody else. Knocking someone teeth out represents direct anger; teeth link to communication or speech you are upset about. Dreaming of knocking things over suggests a need to ground your energies and find balance in your life.

Symbolic of an invitation, Song. 5:2, Rev. 3:20

Knocking can be a message that something outside needs to be inside. This can portray how you project a sense of being a victim on events - when the issue might relate to your attitude. It is a classic symbol of sex as the idea of 'getting knocked up' or pregnant - but again, the knock portrays passion that feels beyond your control. The knock at the door can draw your attention to the need to 'open up' to discover something you are not facing. See also Door and Houses and Buildings.
