Hi, Mike, I'm so sorry you are struggling at this time with your sadness and depression.

I once had an experience like yours; I was awakened by someone getting into bed with me, I felt the bed go down when their knee took their weight to get in. Of course, there was no one there in my little efficiency flat.

I think the hug was your unconscious helping you with the dream to come, telling you it is all right to remember, think about, consider it. I am glad you realized you were not "alone" in getting arrested, I think you were arrested by your "dark"/negative/hurt side, the one that you feel "hates you" and wants to destroy you. I think that is your depression and pain speaking but the hug and realization that you were not alone are positive signs that you can make it through this.
