RisenRaven --
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!! I had this happen to me too, when i was first exploring lucid dreaming and astral travel in dreams. There was a distinct sense of slow-down or even blockage at doors.
I finally got over it with one weird dream in which i pressed my head against a pale yellow painted door jamb and noticed that there was a pale yellow 3" x 3" post-it note stuck to the door jamb right at eye level. I pulled back a couple of inches and saw a message written on the post-it note in pencil, in my own handwriting. It read, "DON'T WAKE UP!" I then went through the dream-door just fine and have never had any problems with doors in dreams since then.
I believe that the doors were seen as a potential interruptions to my dream state. By sending myself a dream post-it note to not wake up when going through the door, i solved the problem for myself.
I used no special tools, herbs, or oils -- i just kept working at it until the problem was solved.
Good luck, and i hope this helps you in some way.
