Since a knob of any sort is usually used to gain access to something, spiritually it can suggest changes occurring in the way we approach our unconscious self. To be dreaming of a knob such as a doorknob can indicate some kind of turning point in our life. A noticeable contrast between the door and the knob can present the dreamer with certain insights. For instance, a very plain knob on an ornate door may indicate that the process of moving forward from a situation is very easy. The knob coming off in our hands suggests a missed opportunity. We may need to turn or change issues or conditions. When we are turning a knob we need to decide whether we are turning it clockwise or anti-clockwise. Clockwise will signify a positive move, anti-clockwise perhaps an initially more difficult one, but one which will ultimately present further opportunities.

To dream of a door knob indicates that you are likely to enter a new business. The augury is of success if you go slowly.
Turning a knob (such as a knob that controls an appliance) can mean you'd like a little more control in your life, or possibly more variety. Grabbing a knob to open a door or cabinet can mean:
You are feeling confident enough for whatever's next in your life
You're searching for information, answers, or greater understanding
Dreaming that you're locked in a room and the doorknob is missing or broken can mean you're feeling trapped, at a dead end, or unempowered in your life somehow.
