The meaning of a dream about escape.
A straightforward obstacle dream. The interpretation depends on the details, but as a general guide:
From prison or similar type of confinement means a rapid rise in the world.
From fire or water indicates success but preceded by a period of anxiety.
From an animal suggests you must seek to uncover a false friend in your sphere. See also under name of animal.
From an unidentifiable danger or threat predicts social and/or romantic success.
If, in your dream, you couldn’t escape, you must be prepared to fight your way through a discouraging phase; and if you tried but were caught in the act, the dream is telling you that you could end up being your
own worst enemy through careless talk and/or indiscreet behaviour.
