Detention is a dream symbol that reflects feelings of restriction, guilt, or consequences for one's actions. Dreaming of being in detention often represents a sense of being held back or punished for past behaviors or wrongdoings. This dream may reflect a need for self-reflection and evaluation of one's choices and their impact on personal growth. It could be a sign to take responsibility for one's actions and make amends if necessary. Detention dreams may also suggest feelings of frustration, limitations, or having a fear of authority.
