Dreaming about yourself being a person, seized or held as security for some kind of the fulfilment of a condition, is a symbol of the misfortune in the ability to act freely. In the dream to be a hostage, indicates that you are feeling cruel and unjust treatment. This makes you victimized and powerlessness. Hostage also means the limitations of your will. Are you feeling limited in your choices? Maybe you are somehow immobilized in physical way. Perhaps this dream is the reference to some difficulties in the situation or the relationship of your waking life. Alternatively, being a hostage suggests to be more expressive. Try to escape the thoughts of yours, which are limiting your character. Take off shackles of your mind and let your charisma and/or personality to open. If someone else is a hostage, then by your opinion this person from your waking life is in some kind of shackles.
