Being held hostage means your life has become a weight used to tip a scale in another’s favor. You find yourself in a place where your own needs are set aside so that others may negotiate for what they want. This happens when the ties that bind a household or a community become ropes that pull tight against your own spirit.
When we allow our value to be measured only by what we can provide in a struggle, we lose the ground we stand on. Such a way of living brings a weight that can make the heart feel small and the path ahead feel narrow. It is a heavy thing to be the point upon which a conflict rests, child, for it pulls you away from the peace of your own name. The strength of your people is found in how they protect the dignity of every one of you. May you find the way back to the center of your own life and find that your value is held by no one but yourself.
You see someone else being held hostage in a dream, which shifts the weight of the restriction away from your own skin. This tells us that the bondage you sense is actually a matter occurring within the wider circle of your people. You are witnessing the way a struggle for power is reducing the value of another, and this observation is what calls your attention to the tension.
Being held hostage by terrorists means you are facing a cruelty that knows no bounds. This kind of violence strikes without regard for what is right or what is fair. It means the pressure you feel is coming from a source that does not respect the old ways or the safety of the home.

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.
