Arrested
To witness an arrest in a dream — respectable figures unexpectedly seized — can mirror our own wish for change held back by the fear of failure. The dream tends to ask what new venture we are contemplating, and whether dread of being caught short is keeping us from making the move.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for arrested, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see respectable-looking strangers arrested, foretells that you desire to make changes, and new speculations will be subordinated by the fear of failure. If they resist the officers, you will have great delight in pushing to completion the new enterprise.
