What Does Dreaming About Police Station Mean?

In Islamic interpretation being summoned to a place of judgment is read as a stance in need of review. Ibn Sirin ties such places to account and reckoning, and counts going there to seek a right as the right being delivered.

Al-Nabulsi reads places of justice as the voice of conscience, reads being held inside as a knot in one's own conscience, and counsels making peace. Going to help another is read as bearing witness for their right.

Being held inside, or being unable to leave, is read as a knot in the dreamer's own conscience; Al-Nabulsi reads it exactly so. Giving a statement and walking out easily, by contrast, points to the matter coming out clean and to the worry having been unfounded.

The officers being kind is counted a sign that fairness will be observed and the matter justly settled. Walking past the door is the will to keep clear of a matter.

In the unconscious a police station answers to the inner critic and to guilt turned into a place. In the Jungian approach figures of law are the archetypal representation of the superego, and being summoned shows the self reckoning with its own rules. From the Freudian perspective the setting of interrogation is the stage of repressed guilt, while filing a complaint is anger finding a legitimate channel.

Seeing an empty police station points to calm and to a threat that has lifted, and is counted a relief in interpretation. Walking past the door without going in is read as the will to keep clear of a matter. Watching the station from a distance points to a case not yet joined but closely followed, and asks for caution; going in and walking out easily remains the most auspicious.
