DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.
POLICE : Police are quite difficult symbols in that they can mean several
things. Of course the police maybe about the breaking of all kinds of rules
: Rules in the classroom, health and safety regulations, contract law, conventions
concerning etiquette, and actual laws of the land. But police are about so
much more. The police have an overall goal of creating general order in society
and in dreams they can perform a similar role. They may symbolise the need
for peace and quiet and harmony in life. In order to think properly we need
some order in our lives. Occasionally our lives are so full of commotion that
we cannot think properly. So dreams with police in may link to incidents from
the previous day which caused disorder in our minds. Also in relationships
we set each other limits. We have our own boundaries that must not be crossed.
So police may represent anger at someone who makes you do things you are uncomfortable
with.
QUESTIONS to help
you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Did someone touch on a forbidden subject on the day before the dream?
- Was your life in disorder on the day before the dream and order needed restoring?
- Have you been breaking some rules?
KEY WORDS : Forbidden, sensitive issues , rules, commotion, disorder,
conventions(write down some quotes that capture your key feelings on
issues that have been dominating your mind. Then see if any of these words
could appear in those quotes)
KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "Thats a forbidden subject - we are not allowed to mention it because
he is sensitive about it"
- "Thats off limits"
- "my peace of mind"
- "breaking the rules"
- "thats not right"

Below you will see a series of quotes. Each quote represents the meaning
of a particular dream(these are all dreams where the meaning is understood
totally). For instance one dream may have meant that the dreamer was having
trouble at work. In that case the quote may simply be "There is a bad atmosphere at
work". Some information is included about which dream symbols were included
in the dream(within the squares brackets). Often a sample dream is included
which shows you how the dream interpretation was reached.
-----------------------------------
WHAT IS THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF POLICE IN DREAMS
Often a symbol will appear in a dream and in bares no relation to real life
in its meaning. Police have a simple enough symbolic meaning in that they
have a responsibility to promote stability and to enforce rules. Yet what
must be understood is that this is entirely within the person and their mind.
Within our minds we create a system of rules and regulations that must
be enforced at all costs. We have our own limits and boundaries. We will enforce
these when people cross over what is allowed. E.g.
"I know my Boyfriend hates Monty Python. So I have decided I will not
tell him that I am going to a talk held by Terry Gilliam who was in the Monty
Python team. He may get jealous. Its ridiculous I have to lie about it. I
feel like a criminal."[Dream symbol - police dream][the dream which this
quote refers to is featured in full at the end of this article]
"Well he knows what I am like and that I do not like him asking personal
questions. Its off limits and if he does it again I will tell him not to"[Dream
symbol - armed police]
"I did not want my child to see me like that. I looked like a bum. I
was exhausted"[Dream symbol - cops]
Police can often link to the need to keep simple order within the mind. Our
mind likes a settled outlook and likes things to behave consistently. We
like order within the universe. Police may refer to moments when we are unsure
of the world around us and major change is about to take place. E.g.
"I feel a lot more reassured now. I was really worried about my health
and thought it was really deteriorating badly. A little order has been restored
to my PEACE OF MIND now"[Dream symbol - cop dream]
Often police symbolise the need to maintain order within the world. If
a general commotion breaks out in real life then police will symbolise real
life efforts to maintain and restore general order. E.g.
"Its been difficult to get to sleep after all that COMMOTION. My daughter
fell out of bed and started crying" [Dream symbol - chased by cops]
"I know I have to start dealing with this health problem or I will just collapse in public " [Dream symbol - I am talking to police]
"I tried to CALM HER DOWN but she was so upset and blames me" [Dream
symbol - on phone to police]
But police often will play a preventative role. They will appear when
you feel you have to avoid some disorder and commotion. E.g.
"I want to leave her in charge of the shop but is she capable of it.
Will the place descend into GENERAL DISORDER"[Dream symbol - police]
"I woke up and just had to rush to the toilet. I felt a lot calmer afterwards"[Dream
symbol - Police chief whigham]
But police will refer to any system of rules. So they could symbolise your
boss enforcing rules at the workplace or you enforcing rules about health
and safety.
"I took yesterday off sick. I just wonder if I will be FOUND OUT by my
boss"[Dream symbol - police raid]
"I am not standing for it any more. They have simply not delivered on
what they agreed to. Its a CONTRACT and they have to deliver. Its THE LAW."
[Dream symbol - Police]
"My teacher was clear that she would not accept such behavior. She really
attempted to RESTORE ORDER"[Dream symbol - chased by police]
"You just cannot do that! Its against all RULES of safety and should
not be allowed. Its dangerous!"[Dream symbol - police]
Also there are general conventions. These are not rules that are legal in
any sense. They are systems of behavior about how we are expected to act.
They are about etiquette and politeness.
"Well maybe I am a bit bossy. Maybe they are right to say that I try
to take control of the group. I suppose there are unwritten rules which I
MUST FOLLOW"[Dream symbol - police]

SAMPLE DREAM
--------------------------------------
THE DREAM when I DID eventually get to sleep, I dreamed that I was
at home (not university home - home home), and I was walking up my road, and
the Rasta man/hippy who has his guts ripped out in "Live Organ Transplants"
in The Meaning of Life (played by Terry Gilliam) was having his house raided
by the police and they were carrying his computer out, and he was like "no
man, thats got my Terry Jones photos on it! and the police were like "yes,
thats why we’re taking it away - its illegal" and as I was walking up my street,
practically everyone was having their computers confiscated for having Terry
Jones photos on it!
Then they got to my house and they were carrying out our home computer and
my dad was like "what are you doing? I do not even like Terry Jones! I think Monty Python is a load of rubbish!" and the police were saying that I had got
images in my user area so thats why and it is not personal! lol all I remember
thinking was that I sure as hell was not going to tell them I had got my laptop in my backpack because I had never get my T-shirts made, and feeling really
nervous in case they searched me!!
THE REALITY The dreamer had recently become very interested in Terry Jones
off Monty Python. He is a great writer and she is interested in him for his
talents as well as his fame. The night before she was looking on the Internet
with her best friend. She was looking for pictures so she could make a Terry
Jones T-shirt. She was due to meet terry Jones who was about to present a
talk on Chaucer.
Her boyfriend does not like Monty Python and they recently had a big fight
about it recently. The dreamer lied about the talk with Terry Jones and merely
said that she was going to a talk about Chaucer.
THE INTERPRETATION In this dream the police act like its a major criminal
act the dreamer has committed. Police in dreams can represent the laws and
need for order within our own lives. Clearly her boyfriend is very anti Monty
Python and it is something that is clearly against what he considers wrong(against
his laws). So in order to preserve the peace and maintain order within her
life she has lied about the fact that she was meeting someone who her boyfriend
clearly dislikes.
Fathers are often symbols of a need to prevent something get out of hand.
So maybe the dreamer is using him as a symbol. She wants to lie to her boyfriend
to prevent the situation from getting out of hand. She knows he will over
react.
Symbolic Meanings
FATHER : "The dreamer wants to prevent an issue getting out of hand and
so lies in order to cause trouble"
POLICE : "The dreamer is aware that her boyfriend clearly disapproves
of Terry Jones and Monty Python"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "My boyfriend hates Monty Python. I dare not tell him that I am going
to a talk held by Terry Jones of the Monty Python team. He is already jealous.
He thinks I think more of Monty Python than him. Its ridiculous. Its like
I am breaking the law or something"
