Rules – Dreaming of rules is a relatively vague dream symbol with multiple meanings. Your dream about rules may indicate your feelings about authority or the requirement to live within specified guidelines or parameters, either in a positive way or a negative way. That is, you may find rules and structure to be comforting, in that they make life predictable and stable. On the other hand, you may find them to be confining and totalitarian. This is especially likely to be the case if the rules are arbitrary, as they are likely to be in a dream. If you dream of having arbitrary and unsavory rules imposed on you, you should examine the source from which they were imposed, as this dream symbol is significant about your feelings about this source of authority in your life. On the other hand, if you dream of making rules for other people, the meaning of this dream symbol is your own feeling of authority. This dream may indicate to you whether you rule well or abusively, based on whether the rules you make in your dream are fair or arbitrary, and whether they are good for the people under them or oppressive.
