Dreaming of a Dungeon

dungeon, cell · mostly negative, but surmountable

Being locked in a dungeon points to struggles you'll free yourself from through wisdom.

What happens in the dream

  • You've been locked up through your own recklessness: you risk losing the respect of honorable people
  • You're in a dungeon: struggles over life's essentials, but wise handling will free you from obstacles and enemies' schemes
  • You see a lighted dungeon: you're threatened with entanglements your better judgment warns you against

How you felt

  • Confinement: the dream often reflects a sense of being stuck in a situation
  • Fear: perhaps a worry that there's no way out

Ask yourself

  • In what situation do I feel imprisoned?
  • What wisdom could help me get out?
