If the dreamer is in the cage: Frustration arising from a sense of social pressures restraining expression – or from one’s moral restraints imprisoning one; feeling caged by lack of opportunity or lack of developed abilities. The cell often depicts how we imprison ourselves within our own anger, resentment, or depressed feelings; or we may be trapped by childhood trauma. Something or somebody else caged: Desire to restrain whatever is represented by the thing, person, caged.
