A dream where you tie up a possessed person’s hands - dream meaning with inherited lore
Tying up a possessed person’s hands may reveal a wish to hold things in check before they escalate, or the burden of trying to stay in control.
When the other person approaches or causes a disturbance while possessed, you tie their wrists so they can’t move. You may feel both a wish to calm them and hesitation about whether this is okay.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene in which someone is tied up and unable to move has sometimes been read as an attempt to hold a problem back or keep conflict under control. When it appears alongside possession, it can be more helpful to look at the fear and response in the dream than to assign it a fixed meaning as good or bad. (We referred to a common thread in folk dream interpretation that compares tying someone up or holding them back with restraining conflict and managing a situation.)
Through the mind: You may feel burdened with trying to handle things alone so they don’t get worse at work or in a relationship. You might consider whether you’re taking on other people’s share, and whether there are things you could ask for help with.
