What Does It Mean to Dream About Arrested?

Being arrested by police in your dream suggests somewhere in your life you are being “detained” metaphorically speaking. Authority figures appear in our dreams to either warn us of our ways we are not aware, or something will stop your progress from advancing in your waking life. If your hands are cuffed that might suggest it being work related. Your actions where being watched and the next step with be the court. Being confined in a cell might suggest lack of growth and you might very well be put before a judge.
