Being captured in a dream means strong emotions, passions and desires in reality, which a person does not want to keep under control. According to the dream book, for a girl, captivity predicts a whirlwind romance that will consume her completely, and for a young man - a difficult but highly paid job that requires a lot of effort and time.
Captivity according to Loff's dream book
You are being held captive, locked in a room, or being held against your will.
Dreams with such themes are very significant. And what is especially noteworthy about them is our attitude, our reaction to captivity. We can try to escape, reconcile ourselves, and even assist the “invaders.” Behavior largely depends on who is holding us back and for what reason.
If you are promoting a person you know, you probably feel that this person controls your life so much that you have no choice but to submit to him.
Followers of Freud would probably say that the dream of captivity, especially in a small room, reflects the image of an authoritative mother that dominates us or is a prototype of a return to the mother's womb. This is a manifestation of the “education-power” conflict.
Perhaps it is not your mother who is holding you captive, but another person who treats you in a maternal, condescending and edifying manner.
And adherents of Jung's views would interpret captivity as an obstacle to moving to the next level of maturation. Then the one who has captured you becomes the one who will suffer the most from such internal growth of the captive.
Captivity for political reasons is a powerful symbol that reflects the opposition of your Self to the world around you.
Being a hostage in a dream is a symbol of the eternal cosmic struggle between good and evil. You can become a hostage to circumstances beyond your control, sacrifice yourself to end a conflict or in the fight for a just cause. Most likely, the essence of this dream is not completely clear, but what is much more important is which of your accomplices or friends is in captivity with you.
The most important point for interpretation is your relationship with others.
Depending on details
To correctly interpret the vision, you need to remember what attitude the sleeping person had in the dream, whether the kidnappers offended him.
If the bandits treated the dreamer well, in reality the dreamer will have a whirlwind romance. The person who has been sought after for a long time will reciprocate.
If the kidnappers have a bad attitude, the vision will affect your career. The dreamer expects a promotion, a good salary increase.
Depending on the room in which they were held captive, the dream foreshadows the following events:
- Basement or closet - information will be received that will give great advantages over competitors.
- Military camp - the sleeper may get sick.
- Room - a happy family life will begin.
A dream when a person is captured generally does not foretell negative events.
Captivity according to Miller's dream book
Seeing yourself as a prisoner means that you will have to deal with betrayal.
Resentment, insults and failures will befall you if you fail to avoid captivity in a dream.
To see that you are taking someone prisoner means that you will have common interests with people of the lowest social status.
For a young woman to see herself as a captive in a dream means that her husband will be jealous of her close friends or that she will be condemned for her rash actions.
Health is no joke
Being captured by bandits who torture and mock you is a high risk of injury, predicts Tsvetkov’s dream book.
To rescue a comrade wounded in war from captivity and free yourself - your acquaintance may infect you with some kind of disease. Monitor the health of your loved ones. To organize an escape for your friend - in reality, your friend will need help related to maintaining health. You may be asked to become a blood donor.
Captivity according to the Dream Book From A to Z
A dream in which you find yourself a captive, tied hand and foot in some kind of dungeon, foreshadows love that will completely absorb all your thoughts and feelings.
If you were captured for ransom, this means that in reality you will have to leave your home, family and friends for some time in order to improve your financial situation.
If in captivity you are treated rudely and unworthily, this is a harbinger of a disappointing future in which you will have to experience humiliation and insults from all sides.
If the people who have captivated you are kind and courteous in their relationships with you: - having achieved success, you will be all the more attentive and careful because it will not come to you easily.
If you yourself captivated a man with your beauty, and not in the literal sense: this portends a prosperous course of the coming day.
For a young girl to see herself as captivating and irresistible means that her chosen one will be jealous of her at literally every step of all her mutual acquaintances.
Predictions in different dream books
You can find out what awaits a person after captivity in a dream in dream interpreters:
- According to Miller’s dream interpreter, a dream tells a married woman about the excessive jealousy of her lover. And for a man, the dream foretells a cheerful conversation with friends at a bachelor party. The dreamer went to save a close friend - in real life he will make concessions for a good purpose.
- According to Hasse, a stranger who tried to be captured predicts that in reality he will try to dissuade a relative from a reckless act. And he will succeed in doing this. If the dreamer saw himself in captivity, he must reconsider his views on the worldview. When the sleeper has captured another person, he will train young personnel at work.
- According to Medea's dream book, a vision associated with captivity characterizes the dreamer's lack of will. But he likes to live like this. For a woman to be captured means to find herself in a tense situation in real life. She will be forced to submit to another person. For a man, a dream predicts an immoral relationship that he will not want to interrupt. And the girl who saw the dream will be tried to be used by an unfamiliar person for selfish purposes. But the sleeping woman will not allow this to be done.
- According to Freud, a dream in which imprisonment does not cause fear or negative emotions is neutral or positive. For the dreamer to notice himself in captivity means that it is time to free himself from outdated views on life. To hold another person by force means strong dependence on a close relative. The dream speaks of the need to gain independence.
- Loft's dream book promises a person relief from troubles in real life. And a vision from Thursday to Friday may have meaning related to the dreamer’s career. Perhaps there will be an inspection at work. If at the same time the sleeper runs away or leaves, everything will end favorably. A man who finds himself in captivity in a dream will in reality find himself at the mercy of a tyrannical lady.
- The women's dream book predicts that seeing salvation from captivity means for the dreamer the opportunity to avoid a loud scandal or serious problems in the family. And surrendering means the onset of a whirlwind romance that will end suddenly for everyone. Capturing men in a dream means great success in the professional sphere and at home. The more prisoners there were, the more favorable the dream.
If you dreamed of ruthless bandits who took the dreamer hostage, you need to be more careful in real life.
I dreamed of a military plane
Why do you dream about an airplane? It has different meanings for women and men. For girls, it symbolizes an imminent wedding. Your betrothed is next to you. We strongly recommend looking for him among the military. Men face a difficult choice. Life will put the question squarely, you will not have another chance. Carefully weigh all the pros and cons.
If you always interact with bombs or grenades, then terrible gossip will be spread about you. Try to find out who is spreading dirty rumors about you; it could be a loved one who is preparing to betray you.

Among the gypsies
Dreaming of being captured by gypsies does not promise anything good in reality. The careless tribe is prone to fraud. Did you dream that they were forcibly holding the dreamer? This represents the possibility of treacherous deception.
Forcible detention by the gypsies speaks of the danger of betrayal - from the most unexpected side or under circumstances when this is not expected. The consequence will be ruin, divorce proceedings, or the dreamer will be exposed to ridicule.

- 4-Jan-2022 Angelika I had a dream where my friends and I came to a village house for a long time. It was summer, everything was fine, out of nowhere, a man appeared and all hell broke loose. He killed half of my friends, cut off a girl’s hand and chopped up my granny with a sickle. We tried to leave, but some ran away immediately! It was just me and a few people left. Those people didn’t interest him; he was afraid to let me out of his sight. He said that now you won’t go anywhere, he followed me everywhere, making sure that I didn’t run away. At the same time, he didn’t do anything bad to me, on the contrary. I resigned myself and decided to help at least the other guys so that they could escape. Soon, he took me to the city, he needed to send something and took me to his house for clothes, my young man was not at home, only his torn clothes. It later turned out that he threw him off the roof. I spent the entire dream developing a plan on how to escape from him without him killing anyone else. But she couldn’t escape. The only thing is that he constantly said that you will be mine, you won’t get away from me anywhere and I won’t let you go anywhere!

- 2-Jun-2020 Anastasia I’m trying to decipher, but there are a lot of meanings: I went into some barn, before that I seemed to be on nerves, running from something, and then at the door I see how it is closed, not with a lock, but The girl is standing with her shoulder resting on the wall in front of the entrance and just lightly holding the door with her hand, watching me try to open it with acceleration and not letting go. And I don’t have enough strength at all, even with all the stupidity. I look at this girl of short stature, brunette, and in her eyes I see as if some poltergeist had possessed her, and with that I woke up, with a complete lack of understanding why she was holding the door with her finger, and I was trying to knock it out with my shoulder, but to break out of it I can’t barn. I just realized that the barn is my mental problems and that I can’t solve them, I’m banging my head into nowhere.
