Avoidance of something in waking life—emotions, decisions, memories
Feeling pressured, guilty, or overwhelmed
The pursuer may represent a shadow aspect of yourself that you're not integrating
The dream asks: What truth are you running from?
Chased by a monster, animal, unknown figure
Can't run fast / running in slow motion
Hiding or escaping repeatedly
Avoiding confrontation or responsibility
Suppressed trauma or emotion surfacing
Inner critic chasing your self-worth
What emotion or issue am I refusing to face?
Who or what in my life do I feel threatened by?
What happens if I stop running and turn around?
