Detective
A detective trailing you often touches the question of conscience and exposure — innocence drawing honour near, or guilt putting your reputation at stake. The dream may ask whether you feel watched fairly or unfairly, what you fear being found out, and how clear your own sense of having done right truly is.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for detective, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a detective keeping in your wake when you are innocent of charges preferred, denotes that fortune and honor are drawing nearer to you each day; but if you feel yourself guilty, you are likely to find your reputation at stake, and friends will turn from you. For a young woman, this is not a fortunate dream.
