Being chased
The thing you have been outrunning
What it often means
What chases you in a dream is often a feeling you have been outrunning by daylight. It is not coming to harm you — it is asking to be looked at.
When it tends to appear
- When you are avoiding a hard conversation with yourself
- When stress has built without release
- When grief, anger, or fear has been rerouted into busyness
