Okay, so last night I had this totally weird dream, and I just had to jot it down and share it. It’s called “dreaming about going to jail,” which, yeah, sounds pretty intense, right?
It all started with me just walking down the street, minding my own business. I remember feeling super anxious for no real reason, like something bad was about to happen. I was thinking in my head, what is going on, why do I feel like this, it was intense.
The Arrest
- Suddenly, these cops show up out of nowhere.
- They slap handcuffs on me, and I’m like, “Whoa, what’s going on?”
- No explanation, just straight to the back of the police car.
I’m totally freaking out at this point. What happens? Did i do something?

Processing and Jail
- Fingertips, mugshot, the whole nine yards.
- I’m thrown into this holding cell.
- Super cramped. I mean small and depressing.
- There was other people in there, but I felt more alone than ever.
What felt most real.
- It felt like real life, like it was really happening to me.
- I felt trapped, helpless.
- I’m sitting there, thinking, “How do I get out of this?”
I have had some crazy dreams before, but this one felt different, it was so clear and I remeber it so well.
Waking Up
- Then, bam! I wake up.
- My heart’s racing, and I’m covered in sweat.
I found this little bit online that kind of makes sense: “Jail dreams usually symbolize feelings of confinement, frustration, or helplessness.” Yeah, no kidding! It also said something about the dream telling me to “break free from a situation.”
Honestly, I’ve been feeling a little stuck lately, maybe I do need to change something. Makes you think, right? Anyway, just wanted to share my crazy dream experience. I needed to put my feeling down and try to make sense of this crazy experence. I have no idea what it means but I did feel like I had to write it down.
