In my dream I was in prison for assault on an officer or something along those lines and I was already in the system from two prior instances with cops as well, but I think they were minor from what I can remember. The thing is the prison was my house and my cell was my room except there was no computer desk or xbox just my bed and my dressers. I remember when I walked in, I had the feeling I was going to be stuck there a lot longer than ever before. There was a kid in my room maybe 6-8 years old and had completely black eyes. Said things along the line of it not being my first time here and the guards knew it because they can tell who a first timer is and then said something along the lines of "You have always been imprisoned here." then I woke up with my heart slightly racing. This is all I can remember about this dream and I'm still not really sure what to think about it.

You may feeling that you were stuck in your childhood feelings. The 8 year old is you back then, and you cant see what is around you, thus feeling stuck. I think your freedom from this room/space in your mind is at hand.
