Dreaming of being caught by the police - dream meaning with inherited lore

A police officer stops you by grabbing your wrist or putting on handcuffs. You may try to make excuses, or instead feel relieved that the situation is finally being brought under control.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being caught by the police have been interpreted as scenes revealing the burden of actions or responsibilities. At the same time, they have sometimes been seen as a turning point where complicated matters begin to be sorted out.
