A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences

by Tony Crisp
Example: I dreamt I was a prisoner with many others. Myself and other men were outside the prison work­ing. Then a tremendous explosion blew a hole in the prison wall. I knew prisoners were trying to escape. I saw some wardens and shouted or signalled to the prisoners to be care- fiiT (Terry D). Terry worked as a therapist without scholastic qualification. Terry represents his attitudes to authority as the prison, and sees more of his work potential escaping those attitudes.

Example: ‘1 often dreamed I was being chased by boys or men. I would suddenly take off like a helicopter and fly away. Sometimes narrowly escaping from my pursuer’ (MC). As in the example, we often use escape’ in a dream to avoid diffi­cult feelings. This is like reading an exciting novel because it distracts our attention from problems in our marriage.

The problems remain. Something escaping from us: a realisation, emotion or opportunity eluding awareness.

The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams

by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
A straightforward obstacle dream.

The interpretation depends on the details, but as a general guide:

From prison or similar type of confinement means a rapid rise in the world.

From fire or water indicates success but preceded by a period of anxiety.

From an animal suggests you must seek to uncover a false friend in your sphere.

See also under name of animal.

From an unidentifiable danger or threat predicts social and/or romantic success.

If, in your dream, you couldn’t escape, you must be- prepared to fight your way through a discouraging phase; and if you tried but were caught in the act, the dream is telling you that you could end up being your own worst enemy through careless talk and/or indiscreet behavior.

Tryskelion Dream Interpretation

by Pagan - Anonymous
This is an omen of good luck for many, as it is a statement that you are making good.

To dream that you escape confinement from a jail, or prison, foretells that you will experience a rapid rise in your profession in the business world that surrounds you, a breaking out of the mold sort of progress.

If your dream is that of escaping from a wild animal then you may have been dealing with a false friend and you need to keep alert.

To escape a disaster means you will escape damage from a rumor, or a lie, that throws your character in a false light.

If you do not escape, then you must accept the worst and prepare for an uphill battle, be sure you do not become your own worst enemy.
