What a chase means in a dream: interpretation according to the dream book and stories that came true

A chase in a dream is a reflection of self-expression and the desire for change. If you dreamed of a chase, the dream points to fear, pressure, or a desire to bring back the past.

A database collected over years of the project’s work helps to sort out the details. In our app there are more than 7000 symbols that are not publicly available. The website has only a fragment. It also contains stories from participants whose dreams came true in reality.

What a chase in a dream means: the main meaning

Chases in dreams, as a rule, are always connected with a real feeling that you cannot hide anywhere from a problem that causes fear and apprehension for your life, well-being, or health.

People see such dreams at moments in their lives when they experience tension and pressure connected with the fear of realizing their own potential possibility.

The most important thing in such dreams is to understand who or what is pursuing you in life, based on the symbolism of the dream. Because your subconscious has already shown you “your enemy.”

Almost always such fear arises not because of a situation or a specific person, but because of your reaction to the situation. And, as a rule, the best course of behavior in a dream is any action of yours against the pursuer or even the possibility of ignoring them, but only not running away. If in the dream you can annul the pursuer, they will disappear in real life too.

You can check all the details of a dream in the app. It has more than 7,000 symbols, and each one is defined based on analytics from thousands of dreams from the project that came true. The website does not have such a database.

Chasing a person, running away and catching up in a dream

Chasing a person in a dream means chasing the past. The desire to bring someone back. And also the desire to overcome limitations, get rid of guilt, responsibility for a wrong action.

If in a dream you run or chase after a stranger, it is the desire to meet a loved one, to be loved.

If you are running away from someone, you are avoiding problems or responsibility. If you are chasing someone, you are trying to bring back the past. If you are catching up, you are achieving your goal. If someone is catching up to you, a problem is overtaking you. If you run away and hide, you are afraid to face reality. If you turn to face your pursuer, you are overcoming fear. If a chase is dreamed in childhood, it is a reflection of basic fears.

The expanded meaning of this symbol, with all the details, can be found in our app. It contains the project’s complete dream dictionary database – more than 7,000 symbols that are not publicly available. We even have dreams that are not in any dream dictionary, because these are not made-up symbols, but real ones that came true.

Who is chasing you: an animal, a monster or a person

If an animal was chasing you, it means that in reality you cannot take control of a behavioral impulse. Animals, reptiles or birds—all of them always symbolize a person’s character. The question is—yours or someone else’s? Usually in such dreams there is some notion, knowledge or feeling of similarity to certain people or a situation from life.

All sorts of pursuing monsters are your own potential of possibilities, talents and knowledge, which you are afraid to develop and improve, and thus deny. But at the same time, they constantly attract your attention. The stronger and bigger the monster, the greater the potential of your abilities. Mystical monsters or animals are unusual and often latent abilities.

If in a dream you are pursued by a person or even a group of people, such a dream means that you are evading responsibility and the demonstration of your capabilities in a certain situation. While in fact you should take the initiative and start pursuing your goal, rather than letting everything take its course and waiting for a result.

In this case, things will no longer “resolve themselves.” This is not the case where everything will be resolved somehow and by someone. And secondly, in fact you are running away from yourself, and as is well known, you cannot run away from yourself.

After such a dream, you need to determine clearly—what is causing you such tension? And then you need to pull yourself together and begin to act actively. Despite all your reluctance to face the problem and start solving it. You have already faced it anyway.

When you take control of the situation, the feeling of hopelessness and despair of the situation, vulnerability and powerlessness, similar to when you were running from an attacker in your dream, and your movements were incredibly difficult, will disappear. Now you will determine the direction and development of the situation. And you will stop running away, starting to pursue your idea, goal, task or desire yourself.

A dream come true: a childhood nightmare and an old woman

This is just one example out of thousands. The world’s largest database of dreams come true is collected in our app. There you will find stories that will confirm or refute your guesses.

A participant’s story:

An old woman resembling Baba Yaga was chasing me. She flew through the air, pursuing me. She was emaciated to the point of exhaustion and had a big nose like a hook. The faster I ran, the closer the old woman was.

The only thing that could be done to stop the chase was to wake up. This repeated hundreds of times. Until one day I decided that I was tired of being afraid. In the next dream, I didn’t run away, but turned to face the old woman.

The old woman froze, hovered in the air and disappeared. I laughed in my dream so hard that I woke up from my own laughter. I realized: if you’re afraid of something, you have to turn to face it, not run away. Most fears are in your head.

The dream showed: the chase in the dream coincided with a real situation, when the fear disappeared as soon as I stopped running away.

A chase in a dream: what to do after waking up

Did you dream about a chase? Here’s what you should do right after waking up.

Write down the dream while you remember the details. Who was chasing you? An animal, a monster, a person?

Recall what you were doing. Running away, chasing, catching up, turning to face them?

Look at what you were running from. If it’s a problem, in reality you are avoiding responsibility.

Notice whether you managed to neutralize the pursuer. If so, the fear will disappear in reality as well.

You can check against the full interpretation in the app. The algorithm takes into account all the details of the dream and shows a complete picture. There are also more than 7,000 symbols there that you won’t find on the website.

And if you want not just to read about dreams, but to induce them, the app has practices and affirmations. They help you receive prophetic dreams and answers to important questions.
