Dreams are an exquisite mystery.

Long story short: You’reprobably stressing!

Types of chase dreams and their meaning.

Sarah Regan

Specifics always matter in dreams, and there are plenty of variations on the classic chase dream.

What’s chasing you?

These details are important.

Are they particularly angry or domineering?

Do they have a troubled nature or some form of mental illness?

Are they, in your experience, simply insufferable?

In that case, “It might be a fear relating to the natural world,” Ellis says.

“Or you could consider the specific nature of that animal and what about it scares you.”

This dream indicates you might feel something is out of reach.

How to stop having this dream.

Ellis notes that those interpretations are just that: interpretations.

Only the dreamer can be sure an interpretation rings true, she says.

“This will deepen the experiential state.

Then stop running, calm down, and face your chaser.

This will tend to stop them in their tracks.”

From there, you’ve got the option to ask what they want from you.

It is never the same after this."
