What Does it Mean to Dream About a Kidnapping?!
My Cousin Was Kidnapped and Was Missing for Three Days…
I recently heard from a dreamer who’d had an unsettling dream. In his dream, his cousin was kidnapped and was missing for three days!
Although the information you see, above, is the only information I have about this dream – it’s actually enough.
Generally speaking, a dream about kidnapping means that the dreamer is afraid of losing something. This “something” could be anything from hair to a relationship – and a billion things in between. The kidnapping usually symbolizes the dreamer’s anxiety about what he or she is afraid of losing.
However, I feel that in this particular dream, there may be more to it. While this dreamer may, indeed, be afraid of losing something, I believe that he currently feels that something is “missing” in his life. The fact that the word “missing” appears in his brief description of the dream tells me that this is a vital part of the dream’s analysis and interpretation. I actually think the “missing” part of the dream holds the strongest symbolism.
In fact, the part about the cousin “missing for three days” was the final thing the dreamer said. When conveying a dream, very often the dreamer (without even realizing it) “ends” on what matters most. They end on the thing they subconsciously know is the most important.
The good news for this dreamer is the fact that, in the dream, the cousin was recovered. Not only is this a happier ending for the dream (and cousin!), it’s also symbolic of something very important – the dreamer is optimistic about “finding” what’s “missing” in his life. If he weren’t, I don’t believe the cousin would have been returned in the dream.
What could be “missing” in a dreamer’s life if they have a dream such as this? Just about anything really…
- A romantic relationship
- A job they’re excited about
- More money
- Excitement
- Relaxation
- Time spent with family
- Time spent with friends
- Etc…
The dreamer could even feel like they missed an opportunity.
At least this particular dreamer is optimistic about finding what they’re missing. My money’s on him!
Pig Dreams: The Analysis Can Go One of Two Ways
What Does it Mean to Dream About Pigs?!
Like a lot of dream interpretations and dream symbols, pig dreams can go one of several ways. The first one I’ll give is the most common analysis – but don’t be surprised if your dream’s meaning is more in line with the second one.
Pigs May Symbolize Someone Less Than Desirable
Although a lot of people (me, included!) find pigs to be too cute for words, the word “pig” is often associated with someone who lacks moral decency. “He’s such a pig!” is a common phrase for someone you either don’t want to know – or wish you didn’t!
If you dream of pigs, it could be symbolic of your feelings toward someone. You may or may not even realize you harbor these feelings.
Sometimes, the pig in the dream symbolizes the dreamer, him/her self. Guilt or remorse can make a person “act out” regret in their dreams.
Pigs May Symbolize a Feeling of Gluttony
Some people dream about pigs following something that makes them feel like a glutton. They probably even said something along the lines of, “I pigged out” or “I was such a pig!” the previous day.
Pig dreams are yet another example of how fascinating and fun our dreams are. The symbolisms we use never cease to amaze… or amuse… me.
Entrance Dream: I Kept Seeing Enter Signs!
This Dream’s Interpretation has to Do With an Exciting New Chapter in the Dreamer’s Life
A recently submitted dream for interpretation and analysis:
I recently had a really busy dream. I was going so many places and doing so many different things. You always say to remember the dream symbols in a dream and the emotions in the dream, so when I woke up I wrote down the things I remembered. I saw about 9 or 10 ENTRANCE signs in the dream which was weird. There was a sign like that over every store or restaurant or car shop I went into. As for my emotions in the dream, I was excited about each place I went to. When there I was happy and content. I was real busy, but I was real happy. Happy and excited are the main emotions I remember. I even felt like that when I woke up. I was smiling all morning and couldn’t even tell anyone why I was so happy. I wish I had more dreams like this one! – Kelly G.
Kelly, I’m with you – we could all use more dreams like this one. As I’ve said before, when I’m reading a dream, one of the first “clues” I look for is how the dream makes ME feel – the emotions I pick up on. While reading through the description of this particular dream, the main thing that stood out was the excitement and anticipation the dreamer has with each progression.
“Busy” dreams usually symbolize one of two things:
- A feeling of being overwhelmed in the dreamer’s daily life.
- A large, looming task that needs to be accomplished.
- A new chapter in the dreamer’s life.
Given the emotions involved, I’d say this dream definitely fits the latter. Kelly’s dream indicates that the dreamer is currently going through a large change in their life (or will go through such a change soon). This sort of change could be an exciting new job, going to a new school, moving, buying a new home, or starting a new relationship.
The eagerness to approach each new entrance sign indicates that she’s more than a little excited about the new opportunities headed her way.

What Does it Mean to Dream About an Army?
Your Dream’s Telling You Something Very Important
Someone recently told me they’d had a long, epic dream about an army marching through their town. Soldiers came to his door to recruit him in the fight! The dreamer said he never really saw what – or who – the army was fighting, but he picked up on their fierce determination to win anyway. Naturally, he was anxious to learn what this dream means and asked for my dream analysis.
To dream of an army, war, battlefield, or even weapons means something very important. These types of dreams indicate that you feel that you are “up against it” right now. You have apparently been fighting some type of battle in your life and this dream is your mind’s way of coming to terms with all of the drama.
I’ve heard of people who had army dreams while battling disease, relationship problems, and issues with their job. I have also heard of people who had similar dreams while battling their own personal battle with something in their life (weight problem, bad habit…).
Only the dreamer can say, for certain, what battle is symbolized in the dream.
This type of dream should be seen as a warning. You’ve probably been pushing yourself too hard (as indicated by the subconscious mind thinking of your situation in terms of a battle!). It might just be time to relax a little and take a new approach to the situation.
On rare occasions, army or battle dreams symbolize a battle you’ve recently won or lost. Again, only the dreamer knows for sure.
