To dream of seeing a sheriff, denotes that you will suffer great uneasiness over the uncertain changes which loom up before you.
To imagine that you are elected sheriff or feel interested in the office, denotes that you will participate in some affair which will afford you neither profit nor honor.
To escape arrest, you will be able to further engage in illicit affairs.
