Dream About Kidnapping

Over the last twenty years, many people have contacted me about their personal nightmare of kidnapping. In dreams, this is the fear of being kidnapped or abducted by someone or that a child is kidnapped. These are what I call "trauma" dreams. But what does it mean?
Dreams about being kidnapped implies (from a dream psychology perspective) feeling manipulated by someone in waking life. That is the main dream interpretation. Or you have lost control of some aspect of your future. Your dream might represent one aspect of your personality controlling another aspect. The behavior exhibited in the dream depends on your own emotional state.The reason why we fear being kidnapped is huge statistics of kidnapping around the world. The number is not declining over the years but rapidly increasing. Wherever you go, there’s a possibility to be kidnapped. For example, in Mexico, there were 1,583 kidnappings registered in 2013, and today’s number is not declining. Besides, many of the kidnapped people stay unreported, meaning the number is probably larger. I am Flo and I am here to help you decode this dream. Many people hear the term “dream interpretation” automatically think of the famous dream psychologists such as Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud.  After reading their books, conclusions can be drawn on this dream meaning. I wanted to understand it’s quite clear that feeling restricted or trapped in a dream can often be a reflection of cultural forces in daily life. I see dreaming of kidnapping as a dream that indicates you are feeling restricted in life. To make this easy I have structured this dream meaning in a questions and answers format.
