Dream Meaning: Being Chased
Updated
Dreams about being chased are commonly interpreted as avoiding a problem, feeling or conversation. Dream symbols are personal — the emotion you felt in the dream matters more than the symbol itself.
Common interpretation
Most dream dictionaries and psychologists who work with dreams read being chased as avoiding a problem, feeling or conversation. Recurring dreams tend to fade once the waking-life issue is addressed.
