Being handcuffed is a sign that the ways you move through the world are meeting a limit. When you find yourself being handcuffed in a dream, it means the boundaries set by those who hold authority are pressing against your own path. This often happens when the way a person has lived or the debts they have gathered come to a point of reckoning.
We see this in the way families must sometimes answer for the choices made in the shadows of the house. When one person acts without regard for the common law, the weight of that choice eventually pulls at the wrists of everyone who belongs to them. A dream like this shows that the freedom you once took for granted is being weighed against the rules of the community. There is a heavy stillness in being unable to reach out or move away from what has been done.
The truth of your standing is being made clear to you and your kin. May your steps find a way back to a path where your hands are free to serve your own.
When the police come to you in a dream of being handcuffed, they bring the reckoning of the whole community. This means the hands that hold you are acting on behalf of the laws that keep us all together, and the trouble you face is the direct result of the path you have walked.

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.
