Handcuff dream meaning is explained below using 2 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin
(Fettered, Marriage, Shackled, Tied-up) Ifone 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.
