If you've recently watched a movie featuring kidnappings, like The Boston Strangler, a documentary exploring the minds of kidnappers, or a heartbreaking news report about a missing child, you might have similar dreams as a way of expressing your appreciation for your life. But you don't need to have witnessed such an event for the nightmare to occur. In this article, I'll explain what it means to dream about kidnapping.
But you should know that being kidnapped in a dream can be due to numerous reasons, not to mention the influence of the context and the situation you're going through on the dream's meaning. It's not the same to be a kidnapper as it is to be kidnapped and escape , or if a murder occurs , or if your child, a baby, or any other loved one is abducted. That's why it's necessary to read the following interpretations and psychoanalysis in detail.
What is the meaning of dreaming about kidnapping?
Experts generally explain that dreams in which someone kidnaps you are associated with a fear of public scandal , or of having your privacy or freedom violated. For example, if your wife won't let you buy a car, if your parents won't let you go to a concert, or if your teacher has punished you without reason, your soul has been "abducted." You probably won't identify with the above meaning, because it's just a generic interpretation. You must consider the subjectivity of your personal life and the context revealed by your subconscious, as I mentioned earlier.
Putting more examples, it does not mean the same if you dream that your brother is kidnapped, where you show fear for his loss, than if a hitman robs a multinational company and kidnaps several hostages, finding yourself inside. We are going to see other less frequent but more specific cases.
Dreaming of kidnappings for economic reasons
Dreaming of kidnapping due to financial problems . If you've signed a mortgage you can't afford, if you want to change your phone plan but can't because you're locked into a 24-month contract, if you made a promise you must keep. In all these cases, you may feel trapped. You sense a deprivation of your freedom to choose because you didn't pay attention to the contract you signed. Now, at night, you witness a kidnapping from which escape will be difficult because there's no other option but to pay your debts.
Dreaming that you are a kidnapper
Are you the kidnapper? Have you abducted a child, or someone's baby? When you don't let others have their opinions or simply don't value them, if you don't care about your employees' quality of life, if you can't handle constructive criticism, if you impose your will on everyone and don't value other people's contributions, you are, in any case, eliminating freedom of expression; it's as if you were kidnapping them. You should adjust your personality and be more permissive so you don't worsen your nightmares about kidnapping people.
To dream that I am kidnapped and I am submissive
If, on the other hand, you are the submissive person who obeys every order with resignation and finds it difficult to raise your hand or say "Stop," this submissive nature could manifest in dreams where you are kidnapped by someone. Again, it's advisable to change this attitude and stand up for yourself when you believe something is being done wrong, or if someone is mistaken. The same applies if you find it difficult to connect with others.
You can dream of being kidnapped when your behavior in society is considered strange. If you do not follow the norms of respect in a society, if you go out of "the conventional" and do not accept certain impositions, you can be branded as rude, and it can lead to nightmares about kidnapping. For example, making large bottles with your friends in a field, not saying "Thank you" at all times, having a messy house compared to others. In some things you will be right, in others you will not. Discuss with your friends openly to draw conclusions that will allow you to rest again at night. Always try to escape.
