6 Weird Things Your Dreams Are Trying To Tell You

Being Chased – You're Running From Yourself

Being chased is one of the most universal dream themes. Something—or someone—is after you, and you can’t escape. This dream is a metaphorical expression of waking-life experiences related to “negative relationships with others”. It means you’re avoiding a person, an issue, or an emotion that you really need to confront. It could be anxiety about an upcoming event, stress, or a desire to avoid something you’d rather not face. The monster isn’t chasing you. You’re just refusing to turn around.
