Being arrested in a dream can have different meanings depending on the situation and how it is handled. In this article, we will explore what those meanings might be.
Being arrested in a dream means that you are feeling restricted by a certain person or situation, and it seems they want to keep you from moving forward. You may have done nothing wrong in this dream but still feel like an offender who is being treated unfairly.
And while the law makes no distinction between guilt or innocence when finding someone guilty of crime (therefore there often isn’t any proof of innocence) it is still possible to feel like you are being treated unjustly. In such cases, the dream can be a way for your mind or psyche to try and deal with this feeling of unfairness in waking life.
What should you do about it?
First of all, you should try to understand the symbolism that lies behind this dream. What do you think is being arrested and why? It could be your career or future plans; it may also mean that someone in waking life has stopped you from reaching some goal in a way which makes you feel like an offender who did nothing wrong but still feels like they are being treated unfairly.
In such cases, it is important to realize that dreaming about the problem doesn’t necessarily mean you are not dealing with it in waking life and trying to figure out why this feeling of unfairness exists may help you resolve any issues without having them come up again as a dream later on. You could also try talking it out with a close friend or family member, as often times such feelings can be caused by things that we cannot change and could benefit from talking to someone about it.
If you feel like the dream is warning you about something in waking life, then looking back at what has happened recently and checking your surroundings for anything suspicious may help keep yourself safe.
It is also possible that the reason behind you being arrested has nothing to do with what happened in waking life. In some cases, it may be a reflection of how your mind wants to punish someone for an action they have done wrong (in which case, the dream might not necessarily mean anything at all). Another possibility is that this person represents someone you love and that their actions have caused some sort of pain or fear.
If this is the case, then it might be helpful to understand why your mind chose them as a symbol for someone who has hurt you in waking life.
- Was there something specific about this person that made them easy targets?
- Did they do anything wrong (or at least something you felt was wrong)?
- What do they represent to you? Parents, siblings, friends or even yourself may be the people your mind is trying to punish for something that made them feel bad. If this is indeed what’s going on behind the symbolism of being arrested in a dream then it could help if you try and see things from their perspective and understand why they did what they did.
Anger
Arrest dreams may also reflect anger that has been repressed so far – but now the situation feels so unfair that it is time to express the anger. You may be so angry at someone in waking life or feel like you have been wronged by them, but for some reason they are still being treated as a friend and no one else seems to get this issue. In such cases – dreaming about arrest can be a way of processing your feelings before confronting the person in real life.
Insecurity
Dreaming about being arrested can also be a sign that you are not feeling secure, and feel like something is going to go wrong – or someone could betray your trust at any moment. This could be related to work issues, love problems or other aspects of waking life where you do not feel confident enough to move forward and make your dreams a reality. In cases like this, you need to try and understand what is causing these feelings of insecurity.
Love Relationships
When it comes to love relationships – such dreams may reflect problems with trust or the lack thereof in waking life. You may feel like the other person is not being honest with you and that they are hiding something from you. It can also mean that your partner has done something wrong which made you begin developing distrust towards them, but this doesn’t necessarily have to be a conscious thought – it may just be what your mind feels without any rational reason for doing so at all.
What to do about it?
In these cases, it is important to establish open communication with your partner and tell them how you feel about the situation that has given rise to such feelings in a way that is not accusatory or negative. You could also try talking things out with someone else you trust if this person isn’t around – but bear in mind that sometimes discussing
Dangerous relationships
Also, if you are dating someone and dream about them being arrested – it may be a sign that there is something suspicious or dangerous about this person and your instincts were right to warn you against getting too involved with them.
As with all symbols, it is important to consider the context of your dream and try and understand what this symbol represents in waking life.
