A hostage is the condition of being bound by external forces. This dream denotes a heavy restriction where the will is surrendered to a greater pressure. It is a sign of confinement rather than a sign of temporary delay.
The dream points to a reduction in worth as if the self becomes a mere object of exchange. A hostage is a symbol of being used as a tool for a purpose that is not one’s own. The feeling of being trapped by the demands of others remains. The dream shows a loss of control.
A hostage situation thickens the weight of the dream by demanding an unwilling submission to the will of another.
The dream of being held hostage turns the self into a mere instrument for a trade. This occurs because the person is treated as a commodity to be used in a negotiation.
For its more general meaning: Dream about kidnapping
Tahir FirasahInterpreter interprets your dreams
Every dream stands at a threshold between what was seen and what it stands for. The old books weighed each sign with care and were rarely harsh. A thing in good condition speaks one way and the same thing broken speaks another. What concerns one sleeper can also reach a whole household. Where the books disagree, the lighter reading has long been preferred. Precision is a kindness.
