DREAM FORUM - Arrested

THE DREAM : I really appreciate this site's "scientific" approach to dream analysis, and so Thought I may share my dreams from the last two nights in order to show my support of the site. The first, in particular, was unravelled for me using this site. I was being chased by the police, wanted for arrest, though I wasn't sure why. I wasn't even particularly sure whether I was guilty or not. I just knew I didn't want to be caught. My mother had set up a safe house for me, and left me an email saying that she would leave supplies for me there and I would be safe there. Yet, when I got there, I heard a knock at the door and could see a policeman's hat through the door window. My first impulse was to flee again,but then just thought, "What's the point?" and went to let the police in. When I answered the door I sighed, put my hands up, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not resisting." The cop simply said, "Yes, you are." he took his handcuffs and tried to cuff me, but the cuffs kept sliding off. Every time they fell off, I just returned them to him, and he would try once more, unsuccessfully, to cuff me again. Later in the dream I was in a complex of some sort that was meant to be a jail. People I know kept asking me to walk out with them (there was, apparently, no security), but I refused saying, "No, I don't want to cause any trouble."

THE BACKGROUND:Using this site, paired with my journal entries from the day before, helped me find a simple and highly accurate definition for this dream. I am very close to my Grandparents, having more of a parent/daughter relationship with them than anything else. Frustratingly, they hold a lot of old fashioned beliefs that I don't agree with, which they freely rant about every time I talk to them. They assume that I agree with them, and I admit that I feel guilty for not, as if I would be a great disappointment to them if they knew. I choose to keep quiet about my beliefs to keep the peace, even though I often feel hampered in day to day life by my fear of them reacting to my actions. Over the years, I have sort of made myself a willing prisoner to their high expectations. I was thinking deeply about these things the day before my dream, and even wrote an extensive entry about it in my journal. It definitely translated well to a dream!

Well thanks for the comments about this site. I have often said that if someone keeps a diary or journal then interpreting their dreams will often be easy. Its especially easy if something has really got on your mind.. think about it... both your dream and real life have both featured the following feelings... I have allowed myself to be a prisoner (to expectations) .. I just give in because I don't want to cause any trouble

-------------------------------------------
DREAM INTERPRETATION PROGRAM: When you post a dream a list of symbols will appear here. They will help you work out what has caused your dream. The following dream symbols all appear in THIS DREAM.

CHASED: Dream symbols pick up on related emotions so what emotions do you feel when you are being chased? If someone is putting pressure on us then we feel as if we are being chased. So if you were forced to do something that you do not like doing then it may represent that pressure. What about your general personality. People with phobias and inhibitions get the feeling that they are being chased. So if you felt especially phobic yesterday then that could be what has triggered your dream. There can be more obscure meanings though. if you feel you are not accepted or understood by someone then you may feel as if someone is chasing you.

For more information read here Chased dreams

Dreams can have many and varied meanings. Often its best to try to translate a dream symbol into metaphors for our own feelings - especially recent feelings. For instance our dream studies featured one dream where the dreamer had been wanting to do something the next day but could not because of work commitments. Therfore the prison dream that night could represent work responsibilities that we feel trapped with - imprisoned by.

MOTHERS: Understanding dreams is often quite easy. Actually dreams symbols can be directly translated in certain words and their meanings are easily understood by reading an ordinary dictionary. Mothers can represent the words and phrases "Welcoming", "reassuring", "helping", "needing closure", "being sensible", "worries", and "taking time". Try to see how your real life thoughts feature words like this and you will start to gain an insight into what the meaning of the dream is. For instance if you were warmly welcomed thed ay before then your mind has been noting this warm welcome - we constantly think over how people react to us. Such dreams don't have much of a meaning (in fact most dreams do not have meanings that help us) - they just represent day processing in the mind.
