Case Analysis of Dreaming of Being Arrested

Dream Description: In the dream, I was participating in a football match, and we were about to win. Suddenly, a person with a big cap appeared, followed by many attendants. Whenever they saw someone commit a foul, they would surround and arrest the person, then throw them into a locked metal trash can. When I went to take a look, I saw that the people inside had their genitals cut off. I was extremely terrified and woke up in fright. (Male, 39 years old)

Dream Analysis: The core essence of a competition is rivalry, and in real life, the dream reflects competition in the professional field. The person with the big cap and the attendants symbolize authoritative institutions. The locked metal trash can can be seen as a prison. Isn’t it common to call criminals scum or trash? Being imprisoned means being suppressed. Although one’s genitals wouldn't literally be cut off, suppression in the mental sense equates to "castration." To avoid suppression, just don’t "commit fouls."
