An interpretation of fugitive dreams

An interpretation of fugitive 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. In simplest terms, a fugitive is like a prisoner except with the added elements of escape and pursuit. It can be like the symbolism of escape except the presumption is a fugitive has done something wrong. See: Escaping A fugitive can symbolize escaping from a situation that feels like prison. For example, you make up an excuse to get out of work, and must be careful to cover your tracks. You then dream about being a fugitive hiding from pursuers. It can mean you feel like a prisoner. See: Prisoners You feel like a fugitive when you intentionally do something wrong, dodge a responsibility, or break a promise. It can mean you feel guilty—karma must be paid. It can mean refusal to confront something, or running away from a situation or relationship. It can mean you violate your values, ethics, or other sort of self-imposed restraint. Fear of consequences, or your conscience, is hunting you. Aiding a fugitive can mean you are compromising yourself. Or your ego has come under the spell of your Shadow, which is the side of yourself that makes excuses for wrongdoing but always extracts a price for the aid it renders. It can mean you think you can get away with doing something wrong. Or you are helping someone avoid responsibility or get away with wrongdoing. It’s a compromising situation.
