Efua NyansaA hostage in a dream means you find yourself bound by a weight that is not your own. This dream shows how a person becomes a thing to be used, a piece to be moved in a game played by others. When you allow your will to be tied to the demands of another, you lose the ground you stand on.
This way of living is a path that has often led to the narrowing of a house, where no one can breathe freely because everyone is waiting for a sign from an outsider. You might feel that your worth is only what another person says it is while they are pressing you. Such a life is a heavy one, and it is a burden that the elders say can stifle the spirit of an entire family. The strength of your people is diminished when one is used to force the hand of another.
The truth is that you are already more than the price being set for you. May you find the way back to your own name and the peace of your own house.
When you see a hostage situation in a dream, the constraint is even more forced, as if the very air around you has been taken away. This dream shows a place where you are driven to follow a rule that was never yours to obey.
In the dream of being held hostage, you are reduced to a point of trade, a single thing used to settle a debt or a quarrel. This means your worth is being weighed by someone who does not see your humanity, and that weight is a heavy thing to carry, child.
For its more general meaning: Dream about kidnapping
Efua NyansaInterpreter interprets your dreams
Sit down first, child. The dream is not going anywhere. The elders used to say that a person is never read alone. Whoever stood beside you in the dream matters as much as what you saw, and the path behind you matters as much as the one ahead. Look, a dream with your people in it has already done half its work. May the name you were given keep you well.
