The concept of quarantine refers to taking extra precautions before getting too close to something that has the potential to be “infectious,” such as runaway feelings or affections.
Although the dream has little to do with the actual concept that your health is in danger, the act of putting anything in quarantine enables you to explore how you implement “compulsory isolation” when you may discover more satisfaction by opening up. In other words, the dream isn’t really telling you anything about your health.
It’s possible that you’re not letting your emotions run completely wild. You may be able to objectify how you are feeling uneasy, or you may be able to remove the urge to hold back through the use of dis-ease.
The concept of avoiding infection might be seen as a metaphor for your dread of ‘affection’ or closeness when your sentiments appear to be beyond your control. If you dream that you are being kept in isolation because you pose a potential risk to other people, the dream may be trying to tell you that your actions or thoughts are preventing you from progressing.
This category of dream can serve as a “time out” while you reevaluate unhelpful ways of thinking about something. It is possible that you need to do an assessment of your self-esteem to determine whether or not you are nursing feelings of inadequacy.
When you have a dream in which you are quarantined, your subconscious is showing you how it feels to be restricted. This can be a sign of feelings or emotions that have been repressed, as well as desertion, loneliness, or spiteful behaviors on the part of others around you.
There are occasions when it is an indication that you need to physically isolate yourself or remove yourself from a scenario that is occurring in your waking world. These dreams may also be a sign that you are being treated unfairly by other people, that you are experiencing emotions of isolation in your waking life, or that you are lacking in creative expression or originality.
Having a dream in which you are confined to a quarantine area is typically a warning sign that things are not going well in your life and can reflect general unhappiness with issues that you are dealing with in your waking life.
In a dream, if you are putting someone in isolation from the rest of society, it is because your activities are the source of the problem for those around you. Investigate the ways in which you are employing unneeded force in your waking life and try to eliminate those behaviors. Are there parts of your life that you could simplify a little bit, which would make your own life a little bit easier?
A positive indicator of how things are going in your life is the fact that you are making preparations for, are aware that a quarantine is forthcoming, or are otherwise ready for a quarantine.
Even if your psyche is able to function normally despite the high stress in your life, the fact that you are able to do so is evidence that you have the personal abilities necessary to make things work in your life. If you are able to deal with the problems that are occurring around you, this is a really good indicator.
Dreams of quarantine are also a way to test the boundaries of your own subconscious taboos. They are sometimes used to symbolize moral ambiguity regarding a matter. The process of defining the limits of one’s own existence can be reflected upon in a dream of being quarantined.
If you have a dream like this one and you discover a method to help yourself, it is a good sign that your personal control is increasing and that things will be turning in your favor. If you do not find a way to help yourself in a dream like this one, it is not a good sign.
It is necessary to think clearly and move rapidly in many situations. Dreams like these can provide insight into how you should handle situations that arise in your waking life.
