Dreams of being chased by the police - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being chased by officials or the police have sometimes been interpreted as burdens related to rules, responsibility, or judgment. Rather than deciding that they predict actual punishment or trouble, they may be seen as scenes emphasizing something unresolved in your mind. (In folk dream interpretations, officials and pursuit are sometimes read as connected to tension around authority, rules, and responsibility.)
Through the mind: You may have such dreams when you are conscious of someone's judgment at work or in your family, or when you have carried one mistake in your heart for a long time. They may also reflect a wish to step away from rules and interference for a while.
