Dream About Ex Husband In Prison
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

A dark dream this time, cold and haunting. I dreamt that my ex husband was a prisoner in a Russian prison for extremely dangerous men. So dangerous, that I was even slightly worried about HIS safety, as I still trusted him a little and had hope for him. For some reason, I was being sent there by a group here (I don't know if government or a covert-ops group) and I was taking our baby girls with me so it would be staged as a family visit. One was a toddler, one was crawling, and I was younger too. There was a detailed plan of how a prison breakout was planned and that I was to be there when it happened so that I would be taken too, and then use my phone to help track the prisoners. It wasn't as simple as a tracking device, I had to use a recording app on my phone to capture the location and then send it. I had a specific packing list as well, which I packed. But as soon as I got there and saw him in the crowd, things started to go wrong. I expected him to be afraid there, and so glad to see us, having missed me and his girls so much. But he was completely enmeshed with the group and mostly ignored us, which sent a cold bolt of fear through me that I recognised. His loyalty had switched, and that's a feeling I know well, betrayed over and over in life. I was showering in a visitor's dorm with the girls in the bathroom with me, and - as often happens with toddlers - after I got out and towelled off, I had to immediately clean them or fix something they had done before dressing, (so, naked) and a male janitor walked in and out twice to empty the bins. I was not that embarrassed, as I was struggling with the very active toddler and baby, but I did resent him for it. And other little details went wrong, so they caused me to not be with the group when they broke out, but I think my babies were and I was scared for them. So then I had to follow them. But more things went wrong, like I put on the wrong shoes, some of the prisoners came back for something and I had to hide under a bed (I hate confined spaces), or I wasn't able to use the recording app properly (doing it wrong), or I left my planner open out on a table where an associate of the prisoners could see it. I was panicking about getting my girls back, not trusting their father in the slightest to take care of them among those dangerous men. At some point I was near a TV which was showing a clip of babies calmly underwater in cave pools - some health show about some baby-care technique, having been trained in water since birth how to float so that they could turn on their backs and breathe with only their noses and mouths breaking the surface. It was creepy and worrisome - but it did reassure me a tiny bit about my babies somehow.

Angie, your dream is a vivid tapestry of emotions, deeply woven with elements of trust, betrayal, and maternal instincts. The setting in a Russian prison for extremely dangerous men is symbolic of the emotional confinement and danger you might associate with your past relationship with your ex-husband. This setting suggests a feeling of being trapped in a situation that once felt threatening, perhaps reflecting unresolved feelings about your marriage and the way it ended. The presence of your ex-husband in such a perilous environment, coupled with your concern for his safety, indicates a lingering connection and a complex mix of emotions. Despite the separation, there's a part of you that still holds on to hope and trust in him, albeit cautiously. The fact that you were tasked with visiting him under a guise, with your baby girls, signifies the dual roles you've had to juggle—as a partner and as a mother—often placing your children's needs alongside or even above your own. Your expectation of your ex-husband's fear and longing for family, contrasted by his enmeshment with the prisoners, speaks volumes about feelings of betrayal. This shift in loyalty mirrors past disappointments and the emotional coldness you might have experienced. It highlights the recurrent theme of trust issues in your relationships, where you find yourself let down by those you hoped would cherish and protect you. The shower scene with the janitor embodies vulnerability and the intrusion of unwanted elements into your personal space. It suggests a sense of being exposed and judged while managing the chaos of motherhood. The janitor’s nonchalance may reflect how you perceive others' lack of respect for your boundaries or the privacy you wish to maintain in your personal struggles. Finally, the dream crescendos with a chase to retrieve your daughters, underscoring the primal fear of losing them to circumstances beyond your control. The TV clip of babies calmly underwater adds a surreal layer, juxtaposing fear with a sense of peace, suggesting an inner belief that despite appearances, your children possess resilience. This part of the dream reassures you, indicating that while the journey may be fraught with missteps and anxiety, you have instilled in them the skills to survive and thrive, much like the babies trained to float and breathe effortlessly.
