Dreams Of Being Chased - Chase Dream Meaning

To be chased in a dream is extremely common. This dream may include being chased by a person, shadow, shark, fox, dog, rabbit, another person, or any other strange object. In addition, you may have had a dream where a group of people or zombies are chasing you.

Now, before I will embark on a hypothetical interpretation we need to uncover what you are chasing, what are your feelings? Many of the initial worries that led to the pursuit of being chased are connected to our inner early fears. What we are running from or chasing will naturally allow the exploration of the dream from many angles.

What are you chasing? We chase dreams, relationships, dead-end jobs. This dream is spiritually about you chasing something in life that you don't need to. Stop chasing is the key message to this dream.

How far away is the pursuer?

The length of space between yourself and the chaser often indicates how far you are away from your anxieties and troubles or the fact that you keep chasing and wanting something that others are just not giving you. Also, do you really want it if they give it to you? The universe works in strange ways. If you are close to the pursuer in the dream then the message is directly associated with problems that are going to surface very shortly. Remembering how far away the attacker is will provide you with a clue as to the closeness of the danger that you feel in waking life. 

Closing and grounding are important spiritually when the chaser is close to you. When you feel a bit spaced out over the dream then grounding will help. This will pull back your own energy into more of a resonance. Energies in daily life can affect us on the spiritual plane. Feeling something of danger is close indicates that you need to focus on your own energy vibrations and increase ether awareness of opening your visualization in order to meditate and develop yourself and protect your spiritual energies.

Biblical meaning of being chased in a dream

In the bible, chasing has been mentioned in many scriptures. I'm not overly religious but like to turn to scripture to get an insight into the meaning. It is important to try to understand what the dream means from a biblical perspective and the only way is to review the scriptures, for which I did. There are many scriptures that detail chasing and in life, we chase things: job, money, relationships, lover, and recognition. In life we are chasers. In Psalm 23, David wrote about being surrounded by enemies Psalm 23:4 and walking through the dark valley. He was notorious for writing about strife. David was pursuing his God, being chased by God, and at the end of his passage said that goodness will follow him in all the days of his life.

In Hebrew, the word for the chase is known as "radaph." It means hunting, searching, chasing, or walking closely by someone. It is a way to communicate that chasing is also about making sure that you are trying to get something through conflict, such as chasing a victory through the way. We know that King Saul hunted David and that God said he will hunt down the wicked. This is not to say that just because you had a dream of being chased you are being hunted down. What it can mean though biblically is that you are hunting for a meaning, you are pursued by enemies like David was in Psalm 18:37. The biblical meaning of a dream of being chased means:

• You are in need of love, and God loves you and will help you
• Biblically your soul needs protection and to rest after strife
• If you will ask for forgiveness then God will grant this to you
• When something is going wrong in life, god will offer his love

The bible urges you in the scripture if you are dreaming of being chased to turn around, face what is chasing you. You cannot escape your own shackles. It is time to release yourself. 

Spiritual meaning of being chased in a dream

Spiritually, dreams of chasing can be caused by many things such as:

• Leaky auras - negative around life and that you need to protect yourself which is why you are being chased
• Giving too much spirituality of yourself - then this means that you are emotionally open at the moment
• People around you - If you suspect that you are surrounded by people that are angry or in conflict then this means that others will have negativity around you and the dream means you are trying to escape spiritually from these people
• Exposed yourself to negativity - If you have exposed yourself to people who are not positive or auric vampires are in your life - then this means that you must protect yourself and your aura.

We all have a tendency to run away from people, situations, and fears we find unacceptable in waking life, I am sure there are many areas of life that you have run away from. The element of a "chase" in the dream is a way to describe your own escape from a part of your inner “psyche” that you do not recognize. 

Being chased in your dream does mean worry. Whatever is pursuing you in your dream is your unconscious mind letting you know that you need to face responsibilities. This dream can also mean from a psychological perspective that you are running from responsibilities that need to be sorted out. If you are chased by any type of animal then this generally means that you need to come to terms with your passion in life. 

It is important to understand that dreams have a spiritual concept. There is an energy field around chasing dreams and we are often guided by our spirits and those loved ones that have passed over. Spiritual development also can involve your own thoughts and often appear in your dreams. When people dream on a deeper level, our spiritual forces come into play. The chasing dream is often connected to our own aura and means we need to create a safe place around ourselves.

On a spiritual level, we naturally raise our own vibrations. This is what is known as our internal light. When we are being chased in a dream this is connected to our own internal wisdom, and messages to show that we need to connect on a psychical or spiritual level. After this dream, you might find that you are more sensitive to the needs of other people and animals. Try to be aware you need to be aware that you have boundaries in place and that you ensure that you do not give other people your energy when they do not deserve it.

Spiritually this dream can indicate that it is important to protect yourself and your auras. Imagine a protective shield around yourself, such as a bubble of light, a circle that will protect yourself. This will repeal any negative energies you are trying to move away from.

Psychological dream meaning of chasing

Psychoanalysts have for a long time (following Freud's interpretation) interpreted the dream of being chased as a disguised form that you wish to “escape” and have a sexual encounter. In psychology it is often suggested that the pursuer is a part of their personality and should be accepted and integrated rather than to run away – can you face your chaser? If you are being chased by or trying to outrun pursuers who are trying to do you harm this can be a terrifying dream. It could be a wild animal or a gang or a criminal, but it is obvious that this is a matter of life or death. These villains and monsters often appear to be a symbol of tensions or problems, rather than people we actually know. If you have chased dreams of different types for many years, and if there is an evil monster or maybe even murder in them, this is likely to connect to a situation you are running from in daily life.

In psychology everyday stress of modern life has taken its toll and it is time to accept this and evolve your responsibilities so that you do not carry a massive burden. This dream also shows that others depend upon you to do well in life, whether that is family, friends or children. If you change your life then consider the impact upon others and above all your own happiness.

Is the dream of being chased good or bad?

While many dreams can be both happy and unpleasant, the nightmare of  being chased is always a bad dream. These types of fears can cover instability, financial strain, and the desire to avoid conflict. Other pressures of daily life may cause anxiety later in life, even though they are not a threat, like what we experience in a dream. Chase dreams are a way to rekindle fears from childhood. This helps explain why certain events can cause anxiety. These dreams, even though they are not pleasant, can serve as a barometer for your stress levels and help you determine if the resolution or compromise you have made is right for you. Chase dreams can be a sign you are feeling pressured or driven in some aspect of your life. Even if you live a well-ordered and successful life, being chased in a dream can be a sign that something is not right.

Recurring Dream of Chasing

When you have a re-occurring dream about being chased then this indicates that you need to embrace a happy ending in your life. In order to find out a happy ending, you need to meditate on the reasons why you're being chased. Some dreams you may experience make you feel frightened and you are relieved to wake up. To unlock the meaning of this dream you need to understand what in waking life makes you feel afraid. It is important to persevere with a particular project or plan at work that you may have found caused anxiety in your personal life. The true meaning is that you need to achieve success at work in your waking life.

I always say that being “killed in a dream” means a total transformation in life. It could be in real life, you are trying to run away from feelings. I will say, there is an aspect of yourself that you are chasing and you are trying to keep up with your goals. Alternatively, it could mean that you are angry about a certain aspect of your life - and the anger is blaming you and now this is “acting out” in your dream.

It could also symbolize your unwillingness or your inability to accept the consequences of something which you have already done. On the other hand, it could be regarding the refusal to accept rules and limitations which have been placed by other people.

If there was no police car, but just a police chasing you, then this is an indicator that, you are going to be in conflict with someone in the coming days. Your words are what is going to cause you to be in conflict with the person and this is someone who is very close to you. If you decide to insult them, it might cause a break up that will be irreconcilable yet this is someone whom you value so much. Alternatively, it could mean that other people are going to cause problems in your life. There is someone who is suffocating you and you are not sure how to go about letting them know.

If you concentrate, you might find out which problem to prioritize. Dreams are set up so you cannot hurt or be hurt by someone.
