What does dreaming about door mean in the Bible?

Opportunity, decision — and Christ who knocks

In Scripture

Doors in Scripture are moments of decision: Jesus stands at the door and knocks, calls Himself the door of the sheep, and Paul speaks of a great door for effective work opening before him. A door in a dream — open, closed, or locked — often marks a threshold God is setting before you.
