Seeing a Door in a dream is interpreted as relating to the guardian of the house or the wife of the house. A door in a dream also represents protection of the house, the family and protection of the personal secrets. If the door in the dream is different from reality, it signifies changes in one’s life.

If you really would want to know the interpretation of dreams, ask an expert who has the knowledge. The internet is only going to give you false understanding of your dream.
Interpretation of dreams is meant to bring glad tidings and news, and not to feel depressed once you read an Interpretation. There is a lot of false information on the internet when I tried to search for a meaning of my dream. I am in no capacity an expert in interpretation of dreams and the following interpretations have only been organized by me from two different sources.
One is a book called “Ibn Sirin’s Dictionary of Dreams” written by Muhammad M. Al Akili. I have seen several reviews that this book should not be considered as the right source for anyone to just read and interpret the dream. It is not so simple to interpret dreams.
The second source I have used here is the authentic Hadith that matches the subject of the dreams trying to make a connection.
