In Jail

In Jail

Dream of Going To Prision

In my life, I have often wondered if you dream of a prison this means we are in a “prison planet” and we are all here serving our time for like a criminal offense we committed in another world in a parallel universe. Prisons / jails can be shown in many ways in the dream state. If you're the one locking yourself up in prison, you should be looking at how your very own limiting thoughts, ideas about yourself or other people, or maybe your real behavior, is stopping you from reaching your goals. To dream of an old-fashioned prison (maybe in olden times) indicates someone around you has outdated views.

To dream of a jail normally means feeling trapped in some way. It does not matter precisely what you're doing or just how you're doing it, so long as you're doing it to better yourself. Making the most of your hours each day can enable you to be much more efficient. You shouldn't think that you've learned everything there is learning in this world since learning never ever ends. Just keep growing. Even when we are feeling trapped, this is a dream that can mean you want to be free from feeling trapped and tired in life. The biblical meaning of jail or prison is all about that spiritual force or bondage. Prison or Jail is all about our own experiences and in the stories of Joseph being imprisoned in Egypt then it is about the fact that you are awaiting something in life.

What is the spiritual meaning of jail in a dream?

Well, if you dream of being in jail or going to prison, then it is a bit of a dream where you are trapped in your own manifestations in life. It is about feeling “trapped” in something in life. This could be a job, a relationship or anything that makes you feel that you can’t let go. You may have had a dream where, before jail you dreamed of being arrested as well as ending up in the system and trying to get out. There are all sorts of reasons why you might end up in dream jail, it could be because you robbed something, or that you got in a fight,t or something. Jail could mean all sorts of things, from juvenile corrections to real-life jail and different types of jails.

To dream of someone you know in prison can mean that you may be blaming someone for your own mistakes. This could be either your partner, family member or colleague in regard to focusing on the characteristics in life. Try to see what exactly you are doing in the dream, and how you feel in the dream. If you sit within a prison and are feeling somewhat sad, this may mean that you need to focus on yourself more. We may say to ourselves we have everything, but we're inexplicably sad in spite of everything. If for one or even the other reason, we keep certain sides of ourselves hidden, we'll almost guarantee walk around feeling sad. To be a prison officer in a dream could be an example of just how you're keeping yourself to yourself. 

What does a jail mean in your dream?

If you dream of a jail it means you have trapped yourself in waking life. There are complications in your emotional, spiritual, and material situation. Seeing a friend in jail means that a close friend will give away something you don't need. To be sent to jail means someone will make you happy, but you will feel trapped in a relationship. The dream suggests captivity, and it refers to your fear of punishment. Another interpretation of this dream refers to a need to do what you feel is right in waking life.

A jail can refer to a confined condition in regard to your psychic, or the fact that you are feeling tied up in regard to a situation from your waking life. Dreaming about being in jail means your freedom of movement is restricted.

This can refer to your physical feeling locked or restricted in reality. There is a focus which can mean that your soul and spirituality is being confined by your way of thinking. Being spiritually locked up in your life leads to dreams about situations in which you are not free, even having nightmares regarding jail means that things in life are going to be constrained. To have a dream of a fight in jail means that you are going to face with difficulties in the future.

Being in jail suggests that your feelings may be trapped by a limited mind and body. This is your unconscious’ way of showing you that problems may happen in the future and to remind you that you should apply a more realistic thinking to new projects. From a spiritual point of view, being in jail represents your denial and refusal to take hold of your life.

In the Arab tradition, being in jail suggests that you will encounter an unexpected surprise in regards to attaining security in your work. If in your dream someone is in the jail, and you see them from the outside, it means that your hardship and difficulties at work will progress in the right direction.

To be in jail is a bad dream, suggesting you will be strapped in everything you do, and you do not have room to carry on. The dream is good only if you are escaping from being in jail.

It is said that if a girl dreams of being in jail, in the real life she is going to marry. But if she dreams she is locked in a deserted house, a barn or a remote and isolated place, it is possible that she will become seriously ill in the near future.
