What does it mean when you dream of cops chasing you?

There's a situation in your life in which you feel you have done the right thing. However, in spite of doing the right thing, you are being punished in some way as a result of your action.

The dream might use the image of a police officer to represent your position of authority or responsibility. For example, often a parent or teacher will feel as if they do nothing but maintain order, more like a police officer than a mother or instructor. When one's authority is not respected, or when one is blamed even when doing one's best, those feelings could be symbolized by being shot in a dream.
