Police

Police can come either as protectors, guides, authority or enforcers that arrest us when we misbehave unwillingly. Police are symbolic in dreams based off of our good or bad behaviour that might not be known to the dreamer. They are sent from the unconscious parts of us that is known to police our emotions, movement or beliefs and however they show up in your dream gives you a clue for their intent. Being arrested by the police is a warning for going to car or careless in your actions.

Symbolic of authority, 1 Pet. 2:13 NLT

Police dreams occur when one aspect of your evolving identity is challenged by the 'critic' or the 'patrolling' aspect of the psyche. Sometimes the message is important: slow down. At other times, the police will come to 'inspect' the changes you are making, playing those time worn disciplinary tapes. Associated with the 'inner critic,' encountering police is often occurring because you may either need to step out of the lines to transform or some aspect of your current behavior is undergoing scrutiny.
