[1]There are consequences for the choices you make, and some of those choices bind you in a particular way. When you break the law, you go to prison. And while you have to engage in criminal activity to find yourself in prison in real life, the idea of being imprisoned by something can easily apply to any number of circumstances where you feel bound to some person, place, or thing in a way that feels severely constricting. In fact, the phrase “like a jail sentence” is often used in casual conversation to refer to anything that obligates a person beyond his or her comfort level. There is a difference between jail and prison that may be significant, especially if the dream was clearly taking place in one or the other. While the two have very similar sensibilities, a jail is where people are taken when they are suspected of committing a crime or when the crime is of low severity. Prison is where convicted criminals of more serious crimes are sent to pay their debt to society.
If this distinction is made clear in your dream, recognize that jail is a more temporary form of bondage. Prison indicates that a more serious matter is being expressed. At the core of the symbolic meaning of prison is what you did to get there.
The inciting incident that ends in jail time is always a choice that may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but has consequences resulting in the removal of freedom and comfort in some area of your life. When this environment plays prominently in a dream, examine your life for where you may be feeling that a decision you made in the past is feeling like something you can’t escape in the present.
[2]1- Prison, in dreams, stands for the traps we create for ourselves. We may feel that outside circumstances are making life difficult, but in actual fact we are creating those circumstances ourselves. This can be on an emotional, material or spiritual level.
Often we crcate a prison for ourselves through a sense of duty or guilt and this can often be shown in dreams.
The types of locks and bolts we perceive in our prison may show us how we are imprisoning ourselves.
For example, a lock with a key would suggest that we know how to escape, whereas a bolt shows that we have to make a greater effort.
A barred window would suggest that we are being prevented from using that which is external to us.
Duty and guilt are opposite sides of the same coin in a spiritual sense. Duty can be a liability and therefore a trap, and guilt can prevent us from seeing a way forward. Often, when we feel trapped either by duty or guilt we will dream of a prison.
[3]Dreams of prison reflect your self imposed restrictions, borders, definitions belief systems and identities. You are venting out feeling suppressed and restrained by your job, relationship, health or finances. Also, this dream represents your awareness of karma, and that you are grappling with issues of punishment, blame, shame, regret, and atonement. This dream could also be giving you the message to recognize that you’ve locked up your talent and -expression and it is time to set yourself free. After all, you are the jail, the jailer, the prisoner, and ultimately the only one that can post bail, declare your innocence, and set yourself free.

instinct that is now overflowing from your unconscious into your observable behaviour,

[7]Material aspects: We may feel that outside circumstances are making life difficult, but in actual fact we are creating those circumstances ourselves. This can be on an emotional, material or spiritual level and is translated into the dream image of a prison.
