What does it mean when you dream about someone coming out of jail?

If it is about someone you know who is actually incarcerated, this dream expresses your own hope (or fear) about the possibility of their release. You might have heard rumors about parole, or perhaps an anniversary of their crime, arrest or incarceration is approaching.

> On the other hand, if this is not a dream about someone you know, then it is a metaphor about something in your own life that has been "locked up" and could be getting free. For example, an old relationship that has the possibility of renewal, or perhaps a bad habit that you might fall into again.
