Dream About Police Chasing You
Detailed Interpretation
Police chase you—sirens, pursuit, trying to catch you. Even if you've done nothing wrong, you run. This represents guilt pursued, authority catching up, consequences coming.
What are you guilty of? Known crime suggests specific guilt. Unknown crime suggests vague guilt. No crime suggests fear of authority regardless.
Can you escape? Escaping suggests avoiding consequences (temporarily). Being caught suggests facing what you ran from. Endless chase suggests perpetual guilt.
Police chase dreams often represent: - Guilt about something specific - Fear of authority/consequences - Running from self-imposed rules - Internalized "should haves" pursuing you
The police might be your own conscience in uniform.
