An arrest is traditionally read as guilt catching up, or as the sense that your freedom is being limited by rules you did not choose. Dream books ask whether you felt guilty or simply stopped. Being arrested for something you did not do is read as feeling blamed or misunderstood. Being arrested for a real fault is taken as a conscience that wants something put right. Watching someone else arrested is read as judging their behaviour, or seeing a trait of yours in them. Resisting arrest is read as pushing against limits. Like other crime dreams, it describes an inner state, not a forecast, and asks what feels restricted.
When this appeared in your dream, what were you feeling?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
