Kidnapping

Abduction, Being kidnapped

Being kidnapped in a dream is frightening, but it isn't a warning of real danger. It usually reflects a feeling of being controlled or trapped by a situation, a schedule or someone else's expectations. If you escaped, you're about to take back your freedom. If you were the kidnapper, you may be holding on too tightly to someone or something. Either way, the dream asks where you've lost a sense of choice.
