The sense of what is right and wrong in your personal or social life. It can also refer to your feelings about how you stand in relationship with others, your feelings of ease or guilt for instance. Therefore it might suggest conscience or rules of conduct. But the police can also depict your strength of self discipline in your efforts to transform or grow. As part of this they might link with self-analysis, or the questioning of your motives or actions.
The police do not necessarily represent your innermost or spiritual directions, but only your social or more conscious codes. These, like the country’s laws, can arbitrarily change, and be replaced by other laws or moral codes. The policeman is therefore most often a symbol of outer and social relationships, and how you feel about this. So it can represent behaviour influenced by the need to conform to orthodoxy or uniformity, and maybe you rebellion against that or relationship with it.
The police can also depict a source of help you can depend on in an emergency – or if you have had a bad time with the police, then the power of society to abuse you.
Policeman or woman at ones door: Anxiety about bad news; traditionally a sign of trouble arriving at your doorstep.
Policewoman: Similar to above, but more emphasis on moral issues connected with feeling values.
