Spiritual Meaning:
We need to examine and reconsider ideas and beliefs, particularly about religion and spirituality, which restrict and restrain us.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
We are being warned that we are enforcing too much restraint on our hidden abilities. We could be allowing others to hold us back.

Everyday Material Aspects:
The cage normally represents a form of trap or jail. To dream of caging a wild animal alerts us to our need to restrain our wilder instincts. To dream that we are in a cage indicates a sense of frustration and perhaps of being trapped by the past.
