| A jail, in general, tends to point feeling limited in ability or choices and, in some cases, feeling trapped in a certain place in your life. In many cases the reason the dreamer feels unable to grow or leave is due to their own lack of motivation to improve, suggesting the dreamer has built their own cage to live in. While this interpretation carries a slightly negative connotation, it can also be a good thing as well. For example, it can symbolize a desire to curtail certain inappropriate behavior or show deference to bad choices and decisions made by others. |  |
