Imam Ibn Sirin

Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams (Al-Akili tr.) · p. 202
Aspects: Fettered · Marriage · Shackled · Tied-up

If one sees his hand tied to his neck in a dream, it means that he does not pay God's rights upon what he earns. If one's hand is tied around his neck in a dream, it also could mean that he will desist from wrongdoing. If both hands are tied-up in the dream, it denotes his stinginess. If one is captured and handcuffed by the authorities in a dream, it means that he will be thrown into jailor fall into difficulties. Seeing oneself handcuffed in a dream also means marriage, wrongdoing, or hypocrisy. (Also see Bondi; Rancor)
