Dreaming of an Arrest
arrested, custody · mixed
An arrest is mostly about a wish for change held back by fear of failure.
What happens in the dream
- They resist the officers: you'll take great joy in seeing your new venture through
- Respectable-looking strangers are arrested: you want change, but fear of failure is holding your plans back
How you felt
- Fear: the dream may reflect a sense of being stopped or watched
- Defiance: perhaps a wish to break free of some constraint
Ask yourself
- What change am I holding back out of fear of failing?
- What would stop me from seeing it through?
