An interpretation of dungeon dreams

An interpretation of dungeon dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A dungeon in a dream can be a graphic, albeit exaggerated, way of representing the feeling of being trapped in a bleak situation. “My life is a dungeon” and “I work in a dungeon” don’t mean you actually live or work in a dungeon, but it feels that way—dark, dreary, confining, hopeless. For example, a woman dreams about a lion trapped in a dungeon. It tries to go up some stairs and past an iron gate, but is pushed back down and tumbles to the bottom. The dream symbolizes her situation at work. She works in customer service, the lowest level in the corporate hierarchy. She wants to rise to a higher position, symbolized as going up the stairs, but her attempts have been rebuffed by the management, symbolized as falling down the stairs. Like a lion she is proud and confident, and like a lion in a dungeon she is trapped. The iron gate symbolizes the inflexible corporate structure she faces in trying to advance. Because dungeons are associated with places deep inside another structure, they can symbolize the subconscious or the unconscious mind. They too are structures of the psyche nestled within larger structures. And if they’re characterized as a dungeon, it implies the need to bring light into your mind and be aware of everything you are inside. It could be a way of saying that your mind is a bleak place! Dungeons are associated with punishment and hopelessness, so if you dream about a dungeon you might feel like you’re being punished or can’t escape a hopeless situation. See: Torturing Dungeons can have specific symbolism listed here, or connect with the symbolism of a jail, hostage, or prisoner, or feelings such as guilt.
