Detailed dream interpretation

Running demonstrates the need for you to get closer to the person or object that you have run away from. It indicates pressure from relatives or society of not accepting your path in life. Running should be seen as an indication that fear and oppression are in your life, and that you are able to secure your life and your family, so do not worry! You need to make sure that you face up to matters both in your life and outside. Running away from something or being chased, indicates a subconscious suppression of a problem. You have been hiding thins under the carpet, and it is time that everything has to come out, to be able for you to address the issue, and move forward with your life.

The dream that you are running away from an aggressive animal, whether wild or domestic means that you will get rid of a threat in your waking life. Running in a dream suggests that you will have to overcome obstacles in the future. If you are running barefoot, this omen is mishap.

Running in a dream refers to avoiding unpleasant situations, and that your failures will turn into successes. If you dream you are running away from your own shadow, this means you will not be able to avoid problems, especially if you ignore them. You will have to stop and try to solve them.
