9 Meaning & Interpretations When You Dream Of “Police”

Did a dream about law enforcement leave a lasting impression on you? A police dream, whether a one-off or recurrent, can have many different interpretations. Pay close attention to the current circumstances in your life and your predominant thoughts; you will find the meaning of your police dreams.

In this article, I will explain what it means when you dream of the police. The interpretations I list here are not exhaustive, but they are the most common reasons for having a police dream. So, let’s get started.

When you dream about law enforcement officers, it could mean one or more of the following:

9 Meaning & Interpretations When You Dream Of Police 1

1. You are having difficulty asserting authority

The police are a symbol of authority, and in many settings, they are revered. Dreaming about the police could mean you are trying to assert authority in a certain area of your life without success.

Take a look at your life. Are you attempting to put your foot down on a certain matter or influence someone a certain way, but all your efforts hit a hard rock?

The police dream reflects your thoughts and desire to assert authority, whether at work or in your personal life.

Don’t despair. Police have resources at their disposal to assert their authority, neutralize threats, and deal with challenging situations. You, too, can do it.

2. Others have a problem with your authority

The police can be a force for good. But, some bad cops ruin the image of law enforcement personnel, causing the public to have a bad attitude toward the police.

If you are a policeman in your dream, it could be a premonition that others will rebel against your authority. Now is a good time to genuinely evaluate your leadership style. Are you being authoritarian and ruling with fear, just like the police can sometimes be fearful?

If you are in a leadership position and want your followers to obey you, maybe this dream tells you to adopt a better leadership style. Militant, fear-based, authoritarian leadership will not elicit the desired response from your followers.

3. You will be victorious, or justice will prevail

Did you dream the police were trying to arrest you for a crime you did not commit? This police dream has various meanings.

This could be a message from the universe assuring you that justice will prevail in whatever situation you are going through.

If you are going through a challenging time where you are trying to prove your innocence, this dream reflects your desire to win against your enemies and for justice to prevail.

When you dream the police have arrested you yet, you believe you are innocent; this might be a message from the spirit world of an impending challenging situation. It is a message that soon you might have to fight for yourself against all attempts to frame or plot against you.

4. You are feeling watched and restrained

The police have been accorded the authority to watch over us. They represent a restraining force, doing everything they can to stop evil from happening.

Sometimes, we do not always like the idea that the government, through the law enforcement personnel, is watching our every move and even preventing us from doing what we want.

Police dreams could be a reflection of our own struggle with the authority figures in our life.

Examine your day-to-day life closely—do you feel you cannot be yourself? Does it feel like other entities, including the government, hinder the way you want to live your life?

Aside from the government, you might feel someone in your life is restraining your freedom and ability to do as you please. This might be anyone from your teachers, parents, relatives, or your romantic partner.

Maybe this dream is a warning sign that you can no longer continue to live this way. You deserve freedom, and perhaps you should wake up and fight for it.

5. It is time to deal with that elusive issue

If you see yourself trying to escape or run away from the police in your dream, it could be a reflection of a real-life issue you have been avoiding.

This dream is a reminder to deal with unresolved issues to set yourself free. The more you try running away from the police, the deeper in trouble you get yourself, just like in real life.

Problems and challenges do not resolve themselves. Avoidance only gets you deeper and deeper into the problem.

A better approach is, to be honest with yourself about what is going on. Just like when dealing with the police, honesty is a prized virtue that can sometimes get you out of problems you didn’t think you would be able to come out of.

Instead of running, take that first step and start working toward facing the challenge upfront. You will eventually build the courage to deal with the entire issue, and soon you will be set free.

6. You might be tempted to do something bad/illegal

A police dream might be trying to forewarn you about an event that might manifest in your life that could put you into problems if you are not careful with your actions.

If you have been fantasizing about happening upon a large amount of money and you end up dreaming about the police, you should take this dream seriously. This could be a warning sign that things are not what they seem at face value.

Watch out for happenings in your life that seem too good and convenient to be true. These could be honey traps, luring you to engage in an illegal or unethical activity that could easily land you in problems.

Be careful with people in your life making big promises and with so-called opportunities that could potentially change your life in an instance. Pursuing these promises and opportunities can lead to problems with law enforcement and catch you by surprise.

7. Conflict with someone close

The police can be helpful. But, sometimes, the situation can escalate, and you might find yourself on the wrong side and in conflict with law enforcement personnel.

Police dreams about arguing with the police can be quite intense. You may continue to feel the impact long after you have woken up.

Such a dream might reflect a current conflict you have with a person close to you. Or, it might be a forewarning of a potential conflict.

Consider cultivating greater self-awareness to avert unnecessary conflicts with those close to you. Even if you cannot avoid conflict, try as much as possible to resolve and avoid escalation.

8. You are proud of an accomplishment

When you dream that you are a policeman or policewoman, it is likely a sign of good things to come.

Serving in the police force is an honor and a great achievement. So, when you dream you are a policeman, it reflects your desire to achieve something great that will make you and others proud.

The dream could be a message from your guardian angel that you should keep going on the path you are on because something amazing is about to happen; all your efforts are about to pay off in a big way.

9. Dreaming about the police not helping you

If you need help or support in a certain area of your life, and you aren’t getting it,  it might end up being reflected in your dreams in the form of the police not helping you and turning away when you are in a dire situation and need their help the most.

Alternatively, the dream might show you that soon, you will need help, and no one will come to your rescue for one reason or another.

Use this dream of the police failing to help you look keenly at the people around you who might need your help. Has anyone asked for assistance, but you have failed to extend the much-needed help, despite being in a position to assist them?

If someone truly needs your support or help, this dream indicates that you should help where you can. Do you remember how helpless you felt in your dream when the police turned their backs on you?

Now is a good time to strengthen your social circle. Offer assistance where you can. Extend goodwill, and it will be extended to you when you need it the most.

What Does It Mean When You Have A Police Dream?

Take any police dream seriously. Your spirit guides could be warning you about events that might manifest in real life.

Be on the lookout for these events and bring your awareness to every interaction you have with others. Every interaction has the potential to escalate or to bud and blossom into something beautiful.

Listen to your intuition and tap into the guidance of your guardian angel to find out what they are trying to convey to you through these police dreams.
