If you dream that you escape from jail or a cage, or break free from shackles or ropes, you my wish to be free from a stressful situation.
You may wish to express talents that you have been repressing.
If you dream that are being pursued and escape by waking up before you are caught, ask yourself what you are missing or avoiding in your waking life.
Dreaming that someone else escapes can mean that you are feeling responsible for a situation that has gone wrong.
