A police arrest signifies a sudden reckoning with conduct. This dream marks the point where movement is stopped by a required limit. It is a sign of an imposed order that demands an accounting of past actions.
The dream is not a prediction of legal trouble but an encounter with a personal or social discipline. Such a restraint ends a time of unguided liberty. A sudden limit on choice is the weight that this dream carries. The arrest brings a recognition of what has been done.
The experience of being arrested by the police indicates a yielding to a higher or more rigid authority. This submission suggests that the dreamer accepts the necessity of the current boundaries.
The act of escaping police arrest shows a refusal to settle a debt with conscience. Such a movement indicates that the reckoning is being avoided rather than met.
For its more general meaning: Dream about the police
In my dream I called out an army general for him to be arrested and immediately he came outside to answer me, he was handcuffed and taking to police cell.
