If it has left you shaken, then it is significant, although for some, it takes years for the significance to become clear.
Sometimes significance comes through in the details which lie under the surface. It's obvious to point to things like the release, which comes at the end of paying one's debt, or that you had no access to your tools while you were serving this time, so you were unable to build or construct anew, unable to utilize your skills, unable even to renovate.
The implements through which you create were also placed on hiatus. So your tools and skills are returned to you at the very moment when you have no means of doing anything with them: no materials, no land, no people willing to contract work to you, the stigma of being 'criminal' (if not in a close and personal sense, perhaps in a broader cultural sense? Have you thrown off any ties to tradition lately?)
And while you had no need to earn your living while you served time, now it becomes imperative, or you risk danger in being exposed to the elements.
Does it seem to you that this is a dream about an existential dilemma?
