Parking Lot/Garage: Traveling in a vehicle generally can represent our journey through life, or a portion of it. If you find yourself in a garage or a parking lot, two different inferences can be made. Consider the dream's content and mood in it as well as your current dilemma or situation in life.

Passenger: When you are the passenger in any type of vehicle, it generally symbolizes you are assuming a passive rather than an active role in the situation, that you are letting some other part of you or someone or something else take control and responsibility for getting you where you want to go. How you feel about being a passenger will give you your clue about whether this is a productive or unproductive thing at the time. Passenger can also symbolize that you are not taking responsibility for your actions on a day-to-day basis, or that you would like not to have to do so. But dreaming of being a passenger, or preferring to be one when you are awake, can also symbolize that you are very comfortable with the situation, and that you are literally willing to go along for the ride, to see where the driver takes you, maybe even take a back seat concerning this particular situation. How's the view from where you are? Are you comfortable with the driver taking control? Passenger can also be a great pun. Do you feel that you are being driven? Are you about to get taken for a ride? Are you taking a back seat? Do you deserve to be chauffeured about? Is it time to turn over the reins to someone else or some other part of yourself? How does the passenger feel about driving in general? What does this remind you of? See Transportation.

Photos, Photographers, Cameras: The process of development ongoing to bring superconscious truths into conscious awareness. 

Also: Seeing old or even unfamiliar pictures in your dream may be a reflection of how you remember certain parts of your life. These pictures may represent longing for a time that has passed. However, other interpretations can be made. Although this dream may be difficult to interpret, the dreamer may need to put significant amount of effort into its understanding. Some believe that since a photograph represents something real, it could represent a deception or distortion of some kind. Someone may be trying to sell something to you and is covering up the truth, or you may be doing the covering yourself. New Age thinking points out that dreaming of pictures means you have not learned a particular lesson in life. The dream may be calling attention to past events and reminding you that you are making the same errors all over again.

Pig: Gluttony. Has also represented a person's view of society, as gluttons for money or sensation. 

Pilot: Pilots often symbolize a teacher or special guide of some kind, and frequently your Higher Self, or some other higher guiding part of you. Pilots have the ultimate responsibility for all other objects on the vehicle they are piloting. What is the cargo? This is another good pun. Are you about to begin a pilot project? Which Plane are you trying to pilot or master? What's your flight plan? Who is the pilot? Male or female? Why? What does he or she look like? How are they dressed? How competent are they? How much training did it take to receive the license? Or do they have one? What kind of vehicle is being piloted? What direction is it going? Where did it start from and what is its destination? Who would normally trust their life or cargo to this pilot? Why? (See Transportation)

On a more positive note and depending on the details of your dream, the police could symbolize support and protection.

Old dream interpretation books say that dreaming about police is an indication that you will obtain unexpected assistance with a current problem.

If the power is without compassion, however, it suggests issues with/about: authority, independence/dependence, adequacy/inadequacy, approval/disapproval.
