Dream Interpretation: Being Chased
Here’s another dream that many people experience: You’re breathlessly trying to run away from someone or something like an animal that wants to kill you.
Gillian Holloway, PhD, says in The Complete Dream Book, that these dreams are about the situation of being chased, not about the person, animal, or criminal gang that is chasing you.
Your pursuers represent pressure you’re experiencing that reminds you of a situation you could not avoid in your childhood that gave you feelings of insecurity, fear, or withdrawal. In other words, you are under some kind of stress that is “pushing your buttons.”
It will help to examine the internal conflict you’re experiencing and to realize that it is largely internal rather than caused by outside circumstances. Then you may feel better and more confident.
