Chased : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Being chased or attacked

Being chased or attacked

More than 80 percent of people dream they're being pursued or attacked, although who or what is attacking or doing the pursing varies from place to place. These dreams are a natural response to life stress, Garfield says.

The origin of this dream dates back to an era when humans fought off beasts or other tribal members to survive. The "monsters" of today more often are emotional beasts, she says -- fear, anxiety, anger, hatred and envy.

These dreams also have early biological roots. They're driven by our genes to mate and produce children and include the sex dreams. Both men and women, it's been documented in research, experience sexual arousal during REM sleep. These dreams can supply the desired missing elements in an unsatisfying marriage, or heighten during an intense love affair.

Chased : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Being Chased

BEING CHASED IN A DREAM

This is the most common negative dream. Did you know that the cultural identity of the dreamer could determine the nature of the pursuer? You could say that people from the same country sometimes have the same creatures chasing them

• In India, children dream of being chases by bats
• In Switzerland, a wolf chasing you, would be a common dream
• While in Canada the pursuers are bears
• After the release of the movie ÔJawsÕ, many dreamed that sharks attacked or chased them!

You are running away, rather than confronting an issue. ThatÕs what a chasing dream often mean, say experts. A wish to get away from the over protected environment of your parentsÕ home, could be a more specific explanation. Or is it an attempt to live life your own way? (Breaking some social code)

Dancing : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Dream: I am flying, swimming or dancing joyfully

Dream: I am flying, swimming or dancing joyfully

Description: You are flying, feeling free. Your flight may evolve as an escape from some bad situation. In an alternate version, you may be moving freely through water or dancing with abandon.

Frequency: Although the frequency of this dream varies widely, those who have experienced it often remember it as a favorite dream.

Usual meanings: You feel great, able to soar as high as you wish, you feel as though your possibilities are limitless and that you can transcend anything. Flying dreams can also be tied to spiritual aspirations. Swimming may suggest the feeling that you can explore your depths confidently, and dancing may reflect joy in your body, an increasing sensuality.

• What restrictions do you feel you've overcome?
• What successes have been yours recently in waking life?
• Have you recently felt a spiritual connection?

Chased : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Chased

I have recurring dreams of being chased... I can hear the footsteps behind me but I wake up before whoever is chasing me catches me. I am so frightened and it seems like the person chasing me gets closer and closer until I can barely run anymore. Then I wake up sometimes screaming and sometimes crying. Please help me as this has been going on for a long time now.

--Elaine, Age 55, Tahlequah, OKLAHOMA, USA

Chase dreams are one of the most common dreams that people experience, and women tend to dream of being chased more than men. I believe most chase dreams are inspired by fears of violence and of sexual assault.

Most of the violence we are exposed to comes from what we watch on the television. Even on the local news each night, we usually see the remains of some violent crime. In truth, it is hard to watch any television without being exposed to a deluge of violence. Unfortunately, seeing so much violence on television tends to inflate our fears about how dangerous our cities really are, and of how at risk we are in our everyday lives. Scientific studies have demonstrated that the more television you watch, the more violent you perceive the world to be. Also, we tend to dream about what we have been exposed to the previous day. If we watch television just before going to bed, then some of the violent programming content (or some of the local crime stories) invariably appear in our dreams, and then we proceed to act out our fears - some one is chasing us, we are trying to get away.

My advice is to not watch television with violent content in it, and to also not watch the local news before you go to sleep at night. Try reading a good book or magazine instead. Odds are you will have much nicer dreams.

Clothes signify how the dreamer is expressing Self.

Clothes indicate the part of the Self others view. Many cultures describe the three-fold nature of Self as: the person we show to others, the person we believe ourselves to be, and the person we truly are. Clothes signify what we allow others to see.

Chased : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Being chased or attacked

Being chased or attacked. This is the most common dream. According to Garfield, this traces back to the early human experience of having to flee from animals and tribal predators. When we have a dream that someone is chasing us, it can mean that we feel a threat in our waking life. When analyzing this dream, try to figure out what or who the thing or person chasing you reminds you of.

When we dream of death, our emotions run high. Feelings of terror, anxiety or even liberation can dominate our mood upon waking. As with any other type of dream, there is no one answer for what the dream means. Generally speaking, however, dreams about death signify much needed change in our lives. Such dreams typically herald symbolic rather than literal death. In this way, death dreams let us know that some part of the self needs to be radically reworked, whether it be one's attitudes, emotions, or relationships.

Many of us take our dreams for granted, not realizing that the dream state is actually an expanded state of consciousness. Due to the fact that the ego lets go of a lot of the control it normally exercises during the day, we become more open to healing forces that help us to regain balance mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually as we dream.
