Dreams involving prisons often symbolize feelings of confinement, restriction, or punishment, whether related to personal circumstances or emotions. Your role in the dream as someone who controls the electric chair may suggest feelings of power or responsibility in a situation that feels morally or ethically challenging.

Flipping the switch could represent a decision you are facing in your waking life that carries significant consequences, possibly affecting others. The guilt you feel upon turning off the switch indicates an internal conflict or remorse about the choices you make or the impact they have on others. The fact that another officer turns it back on might suggest external pressures or influences in your life that push you toward actions you are uncomfortable with.

This dream could be prompting you to reflect on your own values and the choices you face in your waking life. Consider whether there are situations where you feel pressured to act against your better judgment or where you feel trapped in a role that doesn’t align with your values. It may be beneficial to explore ways to assert your own beliefs and decisions in situations where you feel conflicted.
