Being in prison is an interesting event in a dream. While this is a cause for concern for some, the positive side of confinement is its relative solitude and protection from the threats of the hostile world on the other side of the walls. As a rule, the aspect of security is ignored under the influence of our obsession with will. A dream about being trapped contains a hint of introspection, as the old saying goes: "Though you go, take it with you." In terms of dreams, the inability to escape may indicate an inability to achieve something that is particularly desired in life. When interpreting such a dream, it is useful to proceed from the ideas of JUNG, set forth in his theory of primary individuality.
