What are being tied up dreams about?

i had a dream where my friend was going on a vacation with her family and she gave me her bicycle before going (she doesn't own one irl) then i started riding that bicycle back to my home and on my way i kidnapped a woman by tying her to the side of the bicycle and i put her in a basement for a while then i let her go

That's it that's the dream

I had a very intense dream where I was kidnapped by someone I think was doing witchcraft. I was running around asking for help when a lady with a pink shirt pretended to help me only to lock me in a room. I noticed everything, there was someone tied to a table in a white gown, the room was dark with green LED's, it was very clammy and musty, the bed I was put in was really hard and the covers I was given were very rough. I remember the lady coming in asking for my spit so she could use it in a spell. I wouldn't do it so she kept screaming at me while this little girl next to her was laughing like a lunatic. Soon after I realized I was dreaming because I saw the clock next to me said 1:11. I also remember thinking that if I told them it wasn't real they would be able to keep me there forever. I felt like I was there for a long time. I would close my eyes and rub my eyes so I could wake up but I just couldn't come back. I was so terrified that I would never see any of my family again and I was thinking how much I took my life for granted. Suddenly I realized I could hear the meditation music I play to sleep and when the song switched a certain tempo I woke up in a sweat.

A man standing over my bed and yelling at me for not cooking his steak thoroughly enough. He was dressed in a suit and tie.

I was in my bed and couldn’t move or run away from him.

This dream happened 3 years ago and is my one and only experience with sleep paralysis.

So for context, my relationship with this person is strained at the moment. I have intense romantic feelings for this person and though they say they reciprocate, their feelings will always come second to our friendship. Oh, and they have a live-in girlfriend. Yes i know thats fucked up. We've met IRL once and it was so awesome, but i had to share them w their gf a lot of the time. Now I've been trying to express my feelings and concerns about the friendship/tie to this person but they suck at responding to me, so I have half a mind to call them on the phone and just let loose. BUT ANYWAY

Onto the dream...

So this is what I remember. I was at someone's house, and they and their girlfriend were upstairs hanging out. I was in the living room with a different friend smoking. All of a sudden I get a video call from my friend from upstairs. I answer and they tell me their dog just got gutted????? And Im like HUH??????? So he shows me the gash on camera. The dog is still alive but in pain. And im like holy FUCK what happened???? I dont remember exactly what they responded with but I was like thats fucked. So I rush upstairs to see if the dog is okay. Magically, the wound is healed. Red and inflamed but no longer a gash. And im like what in the fuck?????

So I came to the conclusion in the dream that one of them had maimed the dog to get my attention and once they had it, healed the dog of its injuries.

Anyone have any idea what this could mean? I can give more context if need be

Heya, this is a dream from almost 10 years ago but I'll never forget it. I wonder if I should've gone to Mongolia and tried to find some answers?

In the dream I was a small boy on a farm in the afternoon, there was a pheasant that I was playing with. I was sort of chasing it but in a child-like, playful way. I was trying to catch it's pretty tail feathers. The pheasant flew up into a large, old empty barn. I went to follow it in. The barn was dark and the air smelled cool and musty. At the entrance stood a big, grey kangaroo 'spirit'. He stopped, looked at me and then moved out of the way. His large tail sliding across the floor made an echoing sound. I went in and at the back of the barn saw a shaft of sunlight, which I went over to. The pheasant was there but was up on a platform that I couldn't fully reach. It continued to 'play around' as it dangled it's tail feathers just out of my reach. Out of nowhere there was a step I could climb up onto, to get to the pheasant. I got up, and there was a young man sitting with hos legs crossed, tying his long black hair into a bun with the pheasant tail feathers. He was dressed in old clothes like a worn black leather jacket and pants. Somehow I knew he was a mongolian shaman. And it went without question that he'd been travelong as the pheasant. I'd never had any knowledge or interest really in shamanism prior to this. So I don't know why I knew that.

He said he needed to show me something and that he might need help from me.

We sort of 'flew' to a nearby forest. In the forest it was late autumn and most of the leaves had fallen from the trees. Deep in this forest sat an old wooden house, almost falling apart. This house wasn't his house, but his teachers house. The man was a 'trainee shaman'. I went inside and the same man was there in a bath, fully clothed. He was drowning. It was very visceral. Like I was almost in the bath. I could feel him drowning and I could feel the water. For some reason the water was orange.

I looked around and found a cabinet with bottles of orange liquid. Somehow I determined that his teacher was actually the one trying to poison him with this stuff. The teacher was jealous of his student.

I didn't get a chance to tell him about the orange liquid, because I had to go. I don't know why but I felt like I was in a rush. Before I left, I said 'wait! What's your name? So I can help!' And I wrote it down on a piece of paper.

When I woke up, I thought it was such a crazy awesome dream. I could actually remember the name, and copied it down. But now I've lost the paper :(. This was years ago at my mums house in a different part of the country.

Also, on the same day, I walked outside and in the tree out the front there was a pheasant coucal in the tree. I know they're native to the area, but I'd never really seen one before or since then. So that also added to the strangeness of it all.
