Transitions and personalities

Going through doorways, transitioning from room to room is symbolic of going from one personality to another. If you are making an effort to self-remember it is easy to fall back into waking sleep during those transitions.

It can be literal because we associate different rooms (or spaces, like a car, or environments) with different activities (work, play) and associates (family, co-workers, friends, strangers).

So it's the same kind of transition when turning from talking to your mother to talking to your sister, or dog.

The house is a great metaphor for our different personalities. Looking down on the house where you can see all the different rooms at once you also see the transition areas, the hallways and doorways. It is there, in those transition areas that we are more likely to forget our effort to be in a state of self-remembering.
