Abduction

An issue of power, control, personal boundaries, authority, or abuse of authority.

Abducting someone can represent: trying to force your will or motives onto another person, attempting to victimize, manipulate, or take power away from another person.

Being abducted can represent: a feeling or fear of someone forcing their will on you, abusing their authority, or (especially if the person is a friend or loved one) removing you from your comfort zone, a fear of losing control or feeling helpless somehow in your life.

Dreaming that you are victims of abduction signifies that you should quickly mobilize yourself if you do not want to be trapped in distressing situations that will limit your liberty to make decision. The dream could also be warning you of someone (possibly your dream abductor, which could also symbolize a part of your personality) systematically imposing their expectations on you. You have to try to fix the most pressing problems instead of lamenting in silence. The key is not to permit others to decide for you.

Dreams of abduction symbolize a fear of being carried away and influenced in a way that could be harmful to you. Perhaps you are processing through feelings of overwhelm or of being over-powered by someone in your life.

If you dream that you are the abductor, then this dream reflects your desire to control a person or situation in your life.
