Police Officer in a dream
A police officer in a dream is read as order, rules and the voice of conscience reminding you to do right.
In newer dream books the police officer stands for order and rules, and folk reading often equates the figure with conscience. The dream does not mean you have done anything wrong: it comes when you are weighing what is right, when deadlines press on you or when you want someone to keep to an agreement. A calm officer is taken as a feeling of safety and protection. If the officer stopped you in the dream, it is read as time to pause and check where you are heading.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of a police officer stopping you
Being stopped is read as a sign to slow down and take a good look at your direction. A brief check now saves a lot of backtracking later.
Dreaming of talking with a police officer
Old dream books see a calm talk as a clear conscience and a wish for things to be in order. They say you will settle some doubt fairly.
Dreaming of running from a police officer
Folk tradition sees in this a duty or rule you are avoiding. Once you take care of it, the feeling of someone at your heels goes too; the dream is only a reminder.
Dreaming that you are a police officer
A uniform on you is read as responsibility you have taken on for others. By tradition, those around you value your fairness and sense of measure.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
