THE DREAM The following are short summaries of dream which all contain prisons. I have tried best to isolate the symbolic meaning of prisons in each dream.

A prison dream linked to the dreamer thinking about how little her parents thought of her. She felt trapped in an image built up of her - they expected her to fail and so she did.

A dream where the dreamer escapes from prison linked to her realising how she was putting herself down all the time. She was starting to realise that she was restricting herself - she needed to start believing that she could achieve so much.

A dream about being unjustly imprisoned linked to the dreamer being hard on himself recently. He tended to judge himself by his own high standards - no one had made any comments on his performance. He had to think more positively about his own abilities.

A prison dream linked to the dreamer wanting to leave his job and wondering how to do it.

Driving by a prison dream linked to the dreamer wanting to go to a Halloween party but having to work.

A dream about escaping prison linked to her work as an artist. Recently she had had to speed up or lose work. This was something that the dreamer did not like doing - it was against her creative spirit. The prison symbolised these restrictions being placed on her.

A prison dream linked to the dreamer feeling as if he could not act naturally during a law suit. He felt very restricted.

A prison dream linked to the dreamer wanting to help someone who was sick but feeling locked out. The prison symbolised her not being allowed to do what she wanted because someone would simply not let them.
