Being chased in a dream – Running from ourselves

It was dark and cold, the type of feeling that just wraps your body in chills and your body becomes in a state of shock. Of course the darkness wasn’t what you should fear. Nor was the freezing air that enclosed this dark space.

Your heart beat is going faster by every minute, causing you to breathe harder. It’s so cold that every breathe you take is like swallowing broken glass. All of a sudden you see it, a light. It’s dim, and fuzzy, like a candle just before the flame takes its last blaze. You start to realize that you have been running this whole time; your mind has blocked out that you were even running, because you were just so cold, seeking any type of light that would save you from the darkness.

You have in your mind that someone, or something is chasing you. As your mind sends shock waves to your legs to keep running towards this dim light from a far, your backside is filled with fear that whatever is chasing you, would catch you. Mind blank, no sound to be heard, body numb, your eyes only set on this blurry vision of light and nothing else.

You stop; the light is right in front of you. It is a candle, your alone and not even tired from the run, just exhausted from the fear. You turn around, back towards the candle, and there is no one; nothing is sight. You look down, and discover you have been running away from your shadow; yourself.

Being chased in your dreams

Being chased in your dreams are both frustrating and frightening. Usually when the dreamer wakes up after being chased in his dream, his heart is still pounding like crazy. Once in everyone’s life, we experienced being chased in our dreams. When we were kids, monsters chased us, in teenage life, our professors hounded us and when we reach adulthood, it can be our spouse, children, mothers, bosses and just about everybody. Pursuers change but not the chase itself.

According to dream interpretation, being chased in your dreams is you running away from something else in your real life. This is an emotional reflection of your being. You run away from something because you do not want to face this emotional challenge. Remember, running is our primal instinct when there are threats looming ahead. This could be an impending problem you are trying to avoid or a deadline you are trying to meet. It can also be a bad relationship you want to end now but lack the courage to do so. Whatever it is, you can also find its meaning in this “chase sequence” if you know how to manipulate your dreams.

Consider the distance between you and the pursuer. Is he close or far, or almost touching you? This will indicate how close you and your issues are. From there, try to confront issues even in your dreams because your subconscious mind might tell you something that could actually help you sort things out.
