Police station
A civic building of enforcement — the public place where force is held in reserve for the community.
A police station in a dream is the dream's image of the public place where force is held in reserve for the community. The station is where the official capacity to compel is kept. The dream brings the station when something in your life — a wrong needing to be reported, an enforcement of a rule, a boundary requiring outside backup — is currently being weighed against the question of involving an official authority. A police station entered for an honest report is the dream affirming the appropriate use. A police station entered as a suspect, with the official force now turned toward you, is the dream noting that the same authority that is supposed to defend can also be the one that constrains, and the dreamer is on the constrained side this time.
