Dreamed of Being Kidnapped

I have similar dreams like this that happen at least once a week, occasionally more and I can't tell if it's from when I was running around my apartments when I was 8 a man yelled out to stop running and come to him so I ran as fast as I could to get away and ran for ten minutes until I found my brother and he took me home and I can't tell if it's just being tramutized by that or if something's going to happen but whatever the case I hope you stay safe and nothing bad ever happens to you.

It so strange but for the past few days I have also started to get feelings that I am going to be kidnapped. I don't know what it means, I truly don't know and It so ironic because I remember when this story first came out I read the first sentence and exited out and read another story and yet here I am, with the same feelings and fears. I don't know what to think or say. Am I supposed to pray or what? Hopefully nothing bad happens and this will blow over and I'll be back to normal.

Hi Katie,
I am 37 now and back when I was 29, I was out for a walk one night and someone actually did kidnap me. Before that, I had had a number of dreams of being kidnapped. That went on for about 7 or 8 years with the dreams.

When the actual kidnapping took place, it was by 3 men. As to my knowledge, they never were found. See what happened was they pulled up beside me that night (I was actually delivering newspapers and had a walking route). They pulled up beside me around 3:45am (papers always arrived about 1am and I had 4 routes.)

After they pulled up next to me, they had gotten out of the vehicle (seddan) and one had a gun while the other two grabbed me and pulled me to the trunk of the car. Let me say that was scary.

They then forced me in the trunk where they tied my feet and legs, my hands they tied behind my back and they put duct tape over my mouth.

This was in Spokane, Washington.

The scarriest thing was, at the time I was newly married, had a 3 year old daughter and my wife, 27 was working on getting a law degree in criminal justice and was at the time working as a paralegal.

The men who had kidnapped me we think did this because they wanted to get even with my wife for not doing some work for them (speculation.)

Nonetheless, they kiddnapped me, and we felt that I was being stalked for a few weeks prior.

Well, they had been holding me hostage for ransom.

The kidnappers had taken me from Spokane all the way into South Dakota where they kept me (I don't know exactly where) and they held me for nearly 5 months. Each time they called for more money, they told my wife that if she ever called the cops, then she would never see her husband again and at the time, they always blocked it so that their number could not be traced (they used a prepaid cell phone).

I think the hardest thing is the ways they tortured me while they held me hostage.

I was actually married to Tina for about 2 years prior to the kidnapping (I considered us at the time still newly married cause we acted as if we were still newly weds). I told her a lot about the dreams I had. We also had a son together back in 1992, my last year in high school.

This is now 2011 and I am now 37, well, this coming may, it will be 8 years ago that I had been kidnapped.

One day, prior to the kidnapping, we started getting a series of calls where they would call and then hang up.

I always parked the car, like how the mailman delivers mail and I would deliver the papers for about 3 blocks. Well, apparently, the kidnappers knew that.

My wife had also had feelings for about 3 weeks before it happened and one day, she took a nap and she woke up and told me of a dream she had. She said that I had been wearing my blue jeans and blue jean jacket at night. She said that I was walking somewhere and that someone had followed me and then took me hostage.

Well, when I was kidnapped, it happened almost to a T of what she saw--i was wearing my blue jeans, blue jean jacket and had been delivering the papers.

The only way I got free was after around five months of demanding ransom at various points and torturing me and sending videos of me being tortured to Tina, they got frustrated cause she quit sending them money.

So, keeping true to their word that I would be killed, they then took me somewhere (blindfolded, tied, and gagged) to a forest area and they took me out of the trunk and shot me 12 times in the chest, back, and stomach (miracle I am not dead) and they left me. I can't remember how long went by before anyone found me.

Keep in mind I was kidnapped in may of 2003 and it wasn't until October that they decided they were going to kill me.

But, I wanted to say sometimes dreams do happen. They sometimes serve as a warning. As for me, I have no way of knowing if my kidnapping could have been prevented or not, but, nonetheless, it sure scared me to death.

I hope no one ever is kidnapped, but as far as the dreams, I believe they can be warnings. THe best thing to do is to try to avoid anything which might be seen in the dreams.

The men who kidnapped were never cause as I never had actually seen who they were to describe them, nor the type of car they had or where they had taken me as they had me blind folded each time they took me out of the place. I do know that they had threatened that if I survived whatever method they would use to kill me, that they would come after me again and kidnap me again and try to kill me again. I am hoping it won't ever happen again as I don't want to ever be kidnapped again, but, if it does, I'm ready this time and know what to do.

Best of luck though with hopefully determining yoru dreams and hope that they never happen.

Your Friend,
TJ

Katie did it look like it wasn't set in the modern day to you. Because if it was, it could be a past life trying you warn you or somthing?

Im having the same dreams too! 😢 and I keep seeing signs of it happening! What should I do? Your older and have the experience and I'm physcic too!

hi mystical2 yeah it can be scary but you try not to let it happen. You work around it in a way and try stopping it from happening.

Katie,
I had a dream about me and my friend being kidnapped when we was younger. Told my mother about it that morning. I described what I saw. She told me there was a man on the news that had the same description I had given her. I didn't watch the news then. Every day for several weeks, I went straight home after school and didn't go anywhere. My friend did the same knowing how I was. I still wonder today if that would have happened if I didn't listen to that message that was sent.

hi I can neva c my face I've had dreams of being kidnapped and hurt and never seen myself once. I'm in different places which I've never been 2 and once in my room but the room was different old fashioned looked outside and there was those old fashioned floor with the lumpy stone things.

i agree that maybe it isn't you the one who is goign to get kidnapped. All these dreams, are they like, in different places and different scenarios, or are they the same dream every time? Because if the scenarios are different every time or so, and you can't see your face, it might mean someone ELSE is going to go through this, not you. Good luck, and if you go to church or believe in GOD, you should pray. Be careful, Chao.

hi, katie... I have always been afraid of getting kidnapped, too. 😨 I had bad dreams like that before but it wasn't me a few, weeks later, I heard that my neice, Amy had been kiddnapped. While I was sad about Amy at least it wasn't me. And she was found a day later and the kidnapper put to jail.

The best thing I can tell you is that sometimes you think you are the one that is kidnapped or see your death. When in reality it is either a) symbolic or b) seeing someone else rather than yourself. First, time I had a dream like this I assumed it had to be me... But you realize it's not. Only on rare occasions do people actually see it being them, just be on the look out. But since you said it was your whole life, I doubt that it is true.

Dreams like kiddnapping only occur on the spur... About a 1 yr-2 week notice at least-most range. Whole life, is probably ingrained type of thing could have been from past mixed memories or some type of fear that you are holding.

Hi it could just mean something maybe people who have dreams like this just like I have should type in meanings of dreams on google

I dream of the spirit world a place where I'm living me strangers. Then some of the people out of those dreams visit me in real life but there spirits. So it must be the spirit world. 😊

Wait, you actually did get kidnapped? Because I've had dreams of being kidnapped almost every night for years when I was a kid. I don't know how but for some reason I always had a feeling I was 16 every time it happened even though I was a kid. I'm now 16 years old and freaking out. Think it could happen?

I understand you a bit yeah I will start praying because I believe it can help because it works for people. It can help people alot. Thanks so much for helping me. 😊

Hi Pam I know what you are saying but I can't repeat that dream because it wasn't my own dream. I don't know how to explain this but my dreams they get controlled by someone else spirits and ghosts. I don't have a say in it. My bad dreams they come true believe me they have happened my dreams they tell me a lot and the future. It is alright for some but people like me who go through something like that only understand what I'm going on about. Little bad things I can change but If it something more serious I can't stop it happening in real life. You might say yeah it just a nightmare or it just a dream. It not just a dream for me it comes true. It happens in real life. I know your trying to help but even I can't help myself. I do try to ignore it but it makes things even worse.
Knowing your dreams come true it upsets you.
I guess it happens it happens but least you get warned about things like this. I have had a dream of being kidnapped all my life since I was a baby.

I would like to comment on your dream. I too used to have dreams of the tall, dressed up in black with a hood up or a hat man. I never saw his face, but he was tall. I had a couple of dreams like that. One time I escorted one of my friends to see an elder about something she wanted to know and I thought of the dream of this man. In the dreams of him, he was not from the good side. He always wanted my partner and wanted to protect him from me. You see it's a long story. Well, anyway I talked to the elder and he told me, "you are being tested, it's a temptation". Once he told me that, I understood it. It wasn't real, sometimes it's the fear we have within us and we are tested with life. Once I accepted and understood. I never have those kind of dreams. When I do have dreams from the bad side, I have the will from the Creator to push them away. Excuse me for not being so clear. You see I have a friend who told me, you could reverse your dreams and you can do it. I'm a Native who walks the path which is very narrow sometimes... He told me if I don't want the dreams to come true (I mean bad ones), I should pray to the Creator and you can talk to him like a friend or like your father who loves all his children. He will reverse that dream (you have to pray and let God do his work)... I have so much to say, I would like to go on. I want you to understand, Your thoughts should be positive and do not fear, Creator wants us to have faith in him. You see fear is the opposite of faith. You have to trust and believe. I am not talking about religion, but having a relationship to Creator (God). Please change your thoughts from negative to positive. Everything will turn out fine. You see running in a dream is, you're running from fear. You have fear, let go and release it to the Creator. He knows what you're going through. I pray for you, you are young and so gifted in many, many ways. One day you will understand. You see in our tradition, when you have dreams like you have, go see an elder, he will understand you and you'll be so amazed what he will tell you. You are so gifted. Believe me when I say, pray and you will see the results. You will be protected by the Creator.

If you were having dreams at the age of two of being kidnapped, it very well may have happened in a past life and if you don’t believe in past or parallel lives then you can’t really say you believe your dreams will come true ;)

There are several ways we can go through this life. We can think we know the future and dread every moment of every day. You do not know for sure that you’re going to be kidnapped. You’re not aware enough of energy, past lives, and the future to know this for certain. The second way to go through life is to live right now. I can die in my two hour commute tomorrow so should I not get out of bed? The dream does not validate the fear or the other way around. The dream itself has now become an emotional pattern/imprint, not a reality. You’ve clung to it because that’s what fear does—it bonds us to the object and it gets more solid over time. Think of it as a scar that we keep in place through constant affirmations, visualization and trauma.

If something happens in the future then it does. My sister asked me once, “What does this worry that you’re doing do?” Well, it does nothing but ruin your current young life. We can be wise and take good steps to secure ourselves from harm. But fear does not resolve anything.

My recommendation is to forget the future and work on healing this scar that is in your reality now. Stop the story you’re telling yourself that “For sure I’ll be kidnapped”. We can only live this moment and right now you’re a safe but frightened girl. All this negativity and fear cannot be making you a balanced or happy individual. We make a large part of our reality by our thoughts so, though difficult due to your personal programming, try and enjoy the beautiful and safe things of this world and enjoy your innocent youth.

Take care,
Anne
