Using the Laws of Attraction

<> TRAPPED IN YOUR DREAM <>

Entrapment is a common and interesting dream event. While some would also
classify it as troubling, the flip side of being stuck somewhere is relative
safety from the threats of an unknown outside world.

Often, this safety facet of entrapment is neglected because of our
obsession with freedom. Being entrapped is often a dream about
self-awareness. As the old saying goes, Wherever you go, you take yourself
with you. As this relates to dreams, being unable to escape usually is a
picture of being unable to grow or accomplish in life what you desire to do.
Jung's theory of archetypal individuation may be helpful for interpreting
this dream.

Entrapment can be portrayed as either an absence of choices or too many
choices. The absence of choices is a one-room cell. You are alone with no
where to go. Too many choices is the mansion with no exits. Wherever you go,
you are still stuck. This dream indicates that while choices may exist, they
are unsatisfactory for effecting the new freedom or opportunities desired by
the dreamer.

Discerning the solution to your captivity may often be revealed by who your
captors are or where you are being held in captivity. To gain additional
insight into the prison dream, look for familiarity among the guards, the
decor of the mansion, and your sense of why you need to escape. Are you just
uncomfortable being told what to do, or is there an actual threat within the
prison, mansion, or inescapable dwelling?

Some inescapable dwellings are protective while others are punitive. Which
one are you trapped in by your dream?
In waking, did you assume a negative feeling about a place that actually
provided safety and predictability in your dream?
