Dream of friends, lions, police, children, doors

I was in my home with friends and family and my children. I looked out the window and saw a brown bear sleeping against the porch. I ran to gather the children and lock the doors. We called the police. Then several lions appeared at the windows, looking for a way in. Two lionesses and one full grown male lion. Every time we thought we had the home secure, the lions would figure out how to open another window. I was pushing on the male lions head to make him back out of the window. Everyone was afraid. I screamed at the police for taking so long, and they said they were busy and had forgotten about the first call. Many more people began to arrive, hoping to hide in our home. We were running out of ways to keep the lions outside.

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.

Meaning of doors in a dream

Access. Ready to enter or something to keep private. Happiness and long life. A door may be seen as a calling for Christ. Jesus knocks on the door of thy home temple, and awaits for us to open up to him, and welcome him in. In thy dream if the door is open that may signify acceptance to the Lord. If in thy dream the door is shut the accecptance is yet to be known sometime somewhere. A door may be seen as a calling for Christ. Jesus knocks on the door of thy home temple, and awaits for us to open up to him, and welcome him in. In thy dream if the door is open that may signify acceptance to the Lord. If in thy dream the door is shut the accecptance is yet to be known sometime somewhere. To dream of entering a door, denotes slander, and enemies from whom you are trying in vain to escape. This is the same of any door, except the door of your childhood home. If it is this door you dream of entering, your days will be filled with plenty and congeniality. To dream of entering a door at night through the rain, denotes, to women, unpardonable escapades; to a man, it is significant of a drawing on his resources by unwarranted vice, and also foretells assignations. To see others go through a doorway, denotes unsuccessful attempts to get your affairs into a paying condition. It also means changes to farmers and the political world. To an author, it foretells that the reading public will reprove his way of stating facts by refusing to read his later works. To dream that you attempt to close a door, and it falls from its hinges, injuring some one, denotes that malignant evil threatens your friend through your unintentionally wrong advice. If you see another attempt to lock a door, and it falls from its hinges, you will have knowledge of some friend's misfortune and be powerless to aid him.

I dream of a lion trying to ramming into the fence to break it I was like Barbwire and it was trying to get an animal and then it ended up with two lions, and then both lions were being aggressive, trying to get through the fence to get a deer and then all of a sudden a bunch of people were shooting at the lions and killed them, and then there was a dead tiger that the lions had killed and there was a dead guy. I’m not sure how the guy died if it was from the gunshots or the lions.

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!

I don't remember the beginning in much detail but I remember that I was looking for something. There was a highway sidewalk that I was walking on and it was in need of repair. The sidewalks were cracked, the bus stop benches were out of place and needed repairs, the fence guard rail had been painted white in most places but, was missing paint in some areas. Somehow I found the correct type of paint that I carried in a nice (scientific Erlenmeyer flask - may be used used for heating and/or shaking/stirring without the chance of spilling the liquids inside) looking glass bottle. I was really happy that I found the paint and noted the fact that the paint wasn't like regular paint, it was an white, oil based paint that seemed to possibly have more oil than paint in it. I was on the lookout for the enemy because he might attempt to hinder me as I painted. The scene changed and I was walking in what seemed to be an apartment complex. I realized that I had somehow acquired a powerful hand held weapon. The weapon looked like a long black pole/staff and was made of a special strong metal. The weapon could also retract in itself for safe keeping. (note: at this point I saw a small storage room which had many weapons of different colors/types. These weapons also resembled long poles/staffs and were lined up in sections coordinated by color/type. They rested on what resembled a vertical gun rack. The gun rack reminded me of something you would see in a colonial era war movie. -- I realized that the enemy was attempting to collect and withhold them from me). As I was walking through a parking lot, I saw two of the enemy walking together towards my direction. (they looked like people but, i knew they were the enemy). One of them noticed that I was carrying the weapon and after I had walked passed him, told the other, and they started following me at a distance behind. I didn't want them to catch up so, i went into one of the apartment building, walked upstairs and saw that it was a cleared out office space that was in the process of being remodeled. In this office space was a thief (the enemy) attempting to steal a valuable gold artifact and possibly other items. Then, a policeman came into the room and caught the thief and began to interrogate him. I somehow knew that I needed to grab the gold artifact and keep it from the thief. So, in the midst of the distraction, i took it! At this point many officers (crooked enemy officers) and people began coming into the building so, I decided to leave in the midst of the commotion. Other people were leaving as well so that they would not be accused or interrogated by the police. As I walked downstairs and exited the building through a glass door, i noticed an old-school 1950's or 1960's looking black car with shiny silver bumpers and grill. Inside the car was an old black man in a nice suit looking directly at me. I believe that I saw that he had a driver. Looking at this man, i perceived that he was extremely wealthy. Then, he spoke. I don't remember verbatim but, he said something like, "stop holding back/stealing the wealth from the black people"! Then, he drove off. As he drove away I noticed that their were golden shiny objects which he left on the ground. I stepped closer to see what they were and they were tools made of pure gold! I immediately started picking up as much as I could. I picked up several drill bits, screw driver bits, torque wrench bits and many others. Now, some of the people escaping the building saw what I was doing and started picking up a few themselves but, i could see where the tools were hidden in the dirt and grabbed more than most. knowing their value, i placed them in what seemed like a small black metal safe i was carrying. Then the dream ended.
