ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of rescues in dreams?

Rescues may suggest that you are trying to make the best out of a situation which is not ideal. E.g.

"I have been forced to change my approach to a project or I would have lost the opportunity. Life is about balance. I have sacrificed some of my own principles. I am not happy about this but life is about compromise. I have not lost site of my principles though and hopefully never will." [Dream Dictionary - men rescue me from a jail]

Rescues may be linked to attempts to help others and thoughts connected to them. E.g.

"I am sick of people trying to get me to help them out. I think people take advantage of my good nature. I just find it difficult to turn them down though ".[Dream Dictionary - I rescued them but was captured]

Rescues may link to other peoples pleas for assistance. E.g.

"I think this dream is a premonition of the next day. My sister in law asked me for some money to help sort out some troubles. This was getting out of hand and I really did not want to help. Before she asked for money I had been quite sympathetic" [Dream Dictionary - rescue the "baby"]

Rescues may link to things which help you escape the troubles of your life and help take your mind off things. E.g.

"I have become more aware that I am starving myself in real life. I am so self abusive"[Dream Dictionary - I am eventually rescued by a woman who is evasive and unaware of my ordeal ]

Rescues may be linked to your own attitude towards being helped. E.g.

"I am really stressed at the moment with a huge workload that I fear I will not get completed on time. I do not want to ask for help as it may make me seem incapable"[Dream Dictionary - danger if it stopped to rescue me]

Rescuing is often associated with strong principles and feelings of goodness. E.g.

"When I was pregnant, I had an interesting dream about my baby. I was like out of my body and was trying to see if it was a boy or a girl. I was told about her future as a doctor"[Dream Dictionary - Her duty is to rescue the people from epidemic illness]
