Being Trapped

What it can mean

Feeling trapped often mirrors a sense of being stuck — in a job, a relationship, a habit or a situation with no apparent way out. The dream may invite you to look for options you haven't yet considered. Escaping suggests you're ready for more freedom.

A question to sit with

What situation feels like a cage — and where might the door be?
