Anonymous,
Dreams use symbolic language and the prison you are in {in the dream} would represent some type of emotional prison. Look at your life and determine if there are any issues that cause you to feel confined. It would be an issue where punishment is being applied, likely on yourself but it could be from someone else. As for common meanings of a prison in a dream they are as follow:

-may represent behavior that is compulsive, not under conscious control. Do you demonstrate any particular compulsive behavior, uncontrollable behavior that can upsetting to your life or even destructive? Often such behavior is unconsciously driven/motivated.
-not allowed or able to express yourself. You may be in a situation or relationship where you are not able to express your true feelings. Or be your true self. Or it could be you are unable to do so because of emotional issues that have 'imprisoned' you. These type issues would also be unconscious and would stem from early life experiences/influences.

Because you had the dream twice could point to issues that need your immediate attention. Look at your life {especially emotional} and see what issues could be holding you prisoner
