Dream of children, phone, police, screaming, woman

Walking down a street walking my dog when I hear a lion roar look around and see children playing the lion is stalking towards them licking his lips I slowly make my way over to the children with my dog and tell them to come with me and go towards a house with a black door with big glass windows. The door was open so I shepherd the children in keeping them behind me still holding my dog on her lead. As I get the children inside the lion gets to the door and stares as me but doesn't attack. I feel calm, the lion seems calm I don't feel frightened of the lion or that the lion will attack me. I shut the door and go upstairs with the children. I hear a woman crying and screaming in the street I look out of the window and one of the children shouts out that it's his mum, he tries to tell her he is safe and to get inside. A man comes out and drags her inside. I phone the police for help they don't believe me, then the lion roars again, I can't see him but he doesn't attack anyone.

Meaning of police in a dream

Seeing the police in your dream can show you are looking for guidance, help or even a figure of authority in your life. This passage taps into a foundational principle of dream analysis: figures in our dreams often represent functions, emotions, or needs within our own psyche rather than just the literal people or professions they represent. When you dream of the police, your subconscious is usually projecting a need for structure, protection, alignment with rules, or external validation. Here is an expansion on the three core dimensions mentioned in that statement: 1. Looking for Guidance (The Moral & Directional Compass) The police are symbols of law and order—they know the rules of the road, the boundaries of safety, and how to navigate chaos. Internal Conflict: If you see the police in a dream, it often indicates you are facing a complex dilemma in waking life and aren't sure which path is "right" or "legal" (morally or professionally). The Need for a Map: Your subconscious is seeking a clear set of rules or a standard to follow because your current situation feels chaotic, unregulated, or unpredictable. It is a sign that you want someone—or a part of yourself—to step in and say, "Here is the correct way to handle this." 2. Looking for Help (The Need for Protection and Intervention) In the waking world, we call the police when a situation has escalated beyond our control and we require immediate backup. Overwhelm: Dreaming of police coming to your aid suggests that you are feeling vulnerable, threatened, or overwhelmed in your waking life. This could be an emotional threat (like a toxic relationship), a professional one (a project spiraling out of hand), or a general sense of anxiety. Desire for a Shield: The dream reflects a deep-seated wish for an external force to intervene, diffuse the tension, and restore safety so you don't have to fight the battle entirely on your own. 3. Looking for an Authority Figure (The Search for External Order) An authority figure represents accountability, structure, and sometimes, judgment. The Desire for Structure: You might be craving a mentor, a decisive leader, or a parental figure to take the reins. It can show a temporary weariness of being the one in charge, wishing instead to hand over the responsibility to someone who "knows better." The "Inner Critic" and Guilt: Conversely, context matters heavily here. If the police are chasing or investigating you in the dream, the authority figure represents your own conscience or "Superego." It means you feel a sense of guilt, fear exposure for a mistake, or feel that you have crossed your own personal moral boundaries. The Crucial Pivot: How Did You Interact with Them? To fully unlock this dream, look at your emotional reaction to the police presence: Relief: If their presence made you feel safe, you are actively ready to accept help, find a mentor, or implement more discipline in your life. Fear/Anxiety: If their presence made you nervous, you may be resisting structure, feeling judged by societal expectations, or battling internal guilt over a choice you've recently made.

This is a recurring dream for many years. I dream I am alone or with my two children at the house where I grew up as a child. The main focus and my main responsibility of the dream is to always lock the gate outside the yard before it turns night. Sometimes during the dream, I will look through the window in the night to make sure it is locked. In the last dream, I did not lock the gate, if seems it was not urgent or I forgot or got distracted. When I came outside my car was stollen. I went to the gate to close and lock it but I struggled because it seems the lock was broken. I eventually got it locked with much struggle.

It was morning. I was driving up to my old elementary school in Albany Georgia. There was a young 7-9? year old boy in the car with me. As I drove into the parking lot the school looked abandoned. It was as though class hadn't been held there for years. However, in this moment, I felt hope. As though something big was about to change for the good. The little boy hoped out the car and said, "let's race across the school Yard!" We got out the car and he took off running! I decided that I instead would jog. I began jogging a steady pace with my eyes closed. I wanted to savor the moment and worship the Lord as I sang a worship song to Him at the top of my voice! (I believe the song that i sang was, "there's a God who sees"?) I continued jogging and worshiping with my eyes shut tight, no fear of stumbling nor if anyone was around to hear! I could feel the powerful presence of the Lord as I worshiped! I opened my eyes as I approached a muddy path next to the school. The little boy appeared a short distance in front of me and motioned to me saying,"over this way"! I could feel he was smiling a pleasant humorous smile because he beat me to the other side! He motioned for me to follow him and guided me back on the path and away from the mud. The area we were approaching was very familiar to me from my childhood and the little boy guided me around the mud so that my shoes wouldn't get dirty. Then we both looked down a hill towards my childhood community and I explained to him "that's where i grew up at". I said, "see that house with the construction going on, just behind the trees? that's where I grew up at". I felt proud that the house was undergoing construction. i felt like i owned it! The construction was foundational repair being done. The house looked bigger and sturdier than when I knew it as a child. I could see the construction wood frame being built around the walls of mom's room. Excited to be here, I then turned and pointed towards the playground area of my old elementary school and said, "this used to be full of children playing". As we looked we saw a deep slope where the kids used to play but, i remembered it being leveled and full of life. We then turned back towards my childhood community and proceeded down a short hill to enter into it. As I approached my childhood home, I looked to my left and saw my cousin Marsha sitting at a computer desk. She was diligently working and hadn't noticed I'd arrived. I tapped her on her shoulder and hugged her. She said with a sigh of relief, "thank God you're here"! I then noticed a room to our right. I looked into the room door and it was filled with little children! They were watching TV together? When they saw me peek into the room smiling, they jumped up and began running out in excitement! One of them was a beautiful little girl with pretty well kept braided hair. At first I thought it was my younger sister Nya. She ran up to me and straight into my arms happy to see me! i picked her up, held her tight and kissed her forehead and hair! Then, I realized that she looked like Emma between the ages of 3 to 5 years old! Then I woke up!
