Police

What it can mean

Police often represent authority, rules, guilt or the need for protection. Being arrested may mirror self-judgment or worry about consequences; being helped by police suggests a wish for safety and order. They can also reflect your relationship with your own inner rules.

A question to sit with

Is there a rule — your own or someone else's — weighing on you?
