Finding yourself trapped and contained in the dream world, such as when you are stuck in a cage or chained to a wall, is considered a metaphor for the weight of your troubles.

There is a reason why your subconscious is encouraging you to face up to your problems. You are probably being held back and tied down by your refusal to explore the root of your problems.
