What Does it Mean to Dream About Being Chased?

Chasing someone in a dream can symbolize many different things. The person being chased could represent the dreamer’s feelings of being pursued or overwhelmed.

On the other hand, the person being chased could also be a representation of something that the dreamer is trying to avoid or run away from.

You might be able to identify deeply held sources of shame via chase-hide dreams. You could also be able to figure out if someone or something is giving you discomfort. Keep in mind that dreams can also be anxiety projections.

If you’re having some difficulties in life and don’t think you have the resources to conquer them, you might picture yourself running in your dreams. It denotes that you are attempting to flee a situation that is causing you significant distress.

Studies show that your dream consciousness is very similar to your waking consciousness, so dreaming about someone you don’t talk to anymore points to daily emotions you’re currently feeling (and may need to process).

If you see an already deceased friend or relative in your dream, it could mean that you are missing them. You could be locked in the past, remembering the lost one. However, life goes on and you must move forward.

The dream about being chased by a man could represent different things depending on the individual’s life. It could represent anxiety or fear that is being felt in the individual’s waking life, or it could be a symbol of some kind of danger that the individual is experiencing. If the man in the dream is unknown to the dreamer, he could represent some kind of threat or danger that is lurking in the dark corners of the dreamer’s life.

You’re being pursued by an unknown person: If you’re fleeing from someone you don’t know, Ellis says it could suggest you’re afraid but don’t know or grasp what’s threatening you. This could also be a mirror of anxiety you’re experiencing in your daily life, which can occur for seemingly no cause.
