nightmares

I think that his nightmares about jail are just because that was probably one of the worst times of his life. It's probably recurring because he just has a lot of built up stress from that and I too have some dreams that involved being locked up again because I've been locked up a couple of times. It's merely an image or situation in his subconscious that he doesn't want to go through again and he is dwelling on it too much. If he can overcome it in his dreams then he can overcome it in his life. He just has to remember to stay strong and eventually he will get through it. I hope this provides some kind of help.
