Bluerose has some good suggestions for dreamweaving this in a positive way. It opens up the question of whether you were hearing the knocking with your waking world ears or in dream.
The conventional wisdom is that if it's in dream this is something internal, your mind trying to communicate this sense of a new opportunity knocking; whereas if it's in the waking world it's something external, a being of some sort trying to contact you. However, both explanations are possible in either state. Sometimes beings contact us in dreams because then our consciousness is more on their level. Likewise, sometimes we unconsciously make things happen in our waking lives, by latent telekinetic ability or the like, which we might think is a spirit or poltergeist external to us.
For some reason this reminds me of that Bible story. There's the obvious Revelation piece where Jesus says, "I stand at the door and knock." But I was thinking old testament. It's Elijah, isn't it, or Elisha, who kept hearing God call when he was young, and didn't know who it was, until his godfather told him, "Next time, say 'Speak, Lord, your servant is listening'."
Now, I wouldn't go claiming yourself as this presence's "servant," until you know more, but there is definitely power in being receptive. When we listen to someone, we make them real. As the prominent psychology writers Firman & Gila put it, "When I look, I am seen, therefore I exist." That's true even for us humans--we feel really real when we know those closest to us see us for who we really are and accept it.
So next time the knock comes, just call out to it, "I am here; I am listening!"
Blessings, and good luck with it.
