Dream About Kidnapping And Protection

Josi, the dream you described is quite intense and layered with various symbolic elements. The recurring theme of your son being kidnapped multiple times could be reflecting your deep-seated fears and anxieties about losing something or someone very precious to you. Given your relationship difficulties, this could signify a fear of loss or betrayal. The act of getting him back each time might symbolize your resilience and determination to protect those you care about against all odds. This fierce protectiveness is further emphasized by your actions in the dream—arming yourself and others to safeguard the children. This could indicate a strong maternal instinct and a desire to take control in situations where you feel vulnerable or threatened. The presence of your friends and family, all armed, suggests a sense of communal support and collective effort in facing challenges. This might be your subconscious reassuring you that you are not alone and that there is a network of support around you. The use of an AR-15, a powerful weapon, to fend off the kidnapper, who is a lady, might symbolize confronting and overcoming a specific threat or fear that feels very personal and invasive. This dream seems to be a manifestation of your inner turmoil and the stress you're experiencing, possibly related to your financial and relationship troubles. The vivid and aggressive nature of the dream might also be linked to the frequent stress and anxiety you experience in your waking life.
