Be pursued
What does it mean to dream of being chased? Dream about being chased, okay? Dreaming of being chased has realistic effects and reactions, and also has the subjective imagination of the dreamer. Please see the following detailed explanation of dreaming of being chased by Zhou Gong's official dream interpretation website.
Being chased: Real life stress, or inner flood
Dream of being chased or hunted by people, animals or even aliens, and you run out of breath. This kind of dream reminds people of the real life, which is always full of pressure, so the source of stress is the important key to this kind of dream. So being able to tell if it's your boss or your wife who's after you, of course, helps clarify the meaning of your dreams. However, if it is unfortunate that the face of the enemy chasing you is blurred, then you can only help you in the process of escape or travel with people, and reverse who the 'enemy' may be. So the next dream, it is necessary to try to open up the courage to look, so that you know where the inexplicable fear in your heart comes from, to dare to face the danger in order to solve the problem.
For the target:
If you can recall the particular person who chased you, then the interpretation of the dream is very obvious. If it is the boss or colleagues or classmates, it is related to your work and study environment and pressure; If it's a dream of family children
But more often than not, the 'enemy' chasing you is often your own avatar, so you can't shake it at all. This embodiment is actually your instinct, such as moral sense, responsibility, guilt, etc. If the 'enemy' is some part of yourself, then the outcome of the chase matters.
For the catch-up results:
You may rise up against the enemy, whether it is to set traps and other cheap tricks or pick up a submachine gun sweep, on behalf of you to suppress the inner flood beasts, and achieve a temporary rational victory.
You may have found a safe place to hide, which means that you temporarily escape the method, in exchange for inner peace. But this is often a manifestation of self-deception, adding a disguise to themselves and deliberately not feeling anxious, this kind of dreamer character is generally weak.
You may escape for a long time and finally be killed, or wake up too frightened, symbolizing that the dreamer is usually too repressed to his instinct, and after repressing to a certain intensity, he begins to be strongly resisted or retaliated against by instinct. The more ferocious the pursuit in the dream, the greater the intensity of the dreamer's instinctive repression.
If you inexplicably shake hands with the enemy, then pay attention to how you and the enemy of the dream to make peace with it, it is the dream to give you a gift of wisdom outside of the scare, perhaps in the same way, your real confusion will be solved.
For the catch-up process:
Analyze how you escaped
How you escape in your dream can also tell you a lot. For example, some netizens have dreamed of being chased
If you want to hide, but no matter where you hide will be found, it doesn't matter how tight the door is closed, wherever you run, the pursuers are a few steps behind you. At such times, the person or animal chasing you is a part of yourself, a symbol of your conscience or your values, or of your own memories, worries, and sufferings. Since the pursuer is in your mind, you certainly cannot hide it from you, because you cannot deceive yourself completely.
Zhou Yi interprets dreams
The dream of being chased is probably the most common dream, and almost everyone has had it.
Such as being chased by a dog or a pack of dogs, by a band of bandits or robbers, by a band of enemies, etc.
According to Freud, the symbolism of such dreams refers to the conflict between one's ego and one's instincts. For example, sexual instinct and attack instinct are suppressed by civilization and society, so they are generally symbolized by beasts or savage and animalistic people. That is to say, in this kind of dream, dogs or other fierce beasts, bandits, robbers, etc., are symbols of instinct. The pursued person is usually the dreamer himself, sometimes someone else, but still a symbol of the dreamer's self.
Emotionally, this kind of dream is a manifestation of fear. It shows that the dreamer is facing some kind of danger in his life at that time, he is very afraid of this danger, and he tries to escape and get rid of this danger.
Running away may have been our animal ancestors' first response to danger. When a monkey sees a fierce beast, it is not like a snake that can hide in a cave, nor is it like a hedgehog that can shrink into a ball, nor is it like a turtle
Therefore, to flee out of fear is the deepest instinct of human nature. When you're scared, you naturally dream of running away
Therefore, if the interpreter wishes to know what makes the dreamer so fearful, he should ask the dreamer what kind of person is chasing him in his dream; If not a person, then what? The person or beast or monster chasing him is a symbol of what he is now afraid of in his life. Although, intellectually, the dreamer does not necessarily admit to being afraid of the other, subconsciously, he is already afraid. Let the dreamer know that his inner fear is not a bad thing, the next step can help the dreamer face this terrible reality, help him solve this difficulty, so as to eliminate fear and obtain inner security.
There was once a girl, 17 or 18 years old, who said that she often dreamed of being chased. The writer asked her who was chasing her. She answered, 'A beggar.'
So the author asked her again, in her life, who is like a beggar, begging her for physical goods or emotions.
She replied, 'Those are my parents. When I was young, my grandparents brought me up, and I didn't have much affection with my parents. Now I am with them and they are always like beggars, begging for my affection. And they often blame me for not having feelings for them. So I was afraid to see them.'
'They are the beggars in your dreams, you want to run away from them but you can't, so you are afraid.' Their behavior is understandable. Parents want their children to love them.' I said.
Young Girl
'You are not unfilial, feelings have their own laws, can not be forced.' You didn't grow up with them, how can you suddenly have feelings for them? You don't have to blame yourself for that. Don't be afraid of them, because you're not wrong. Just like with beggars, you can give money if you want to, don't give it if you don't want to, don't run away. In this way, they will gradually understand the truth that feelings can not be forced. Then maybe after a while, you will have a real relationship with your parents.' I said.
If you don't know who is chasing you in your dream, try to dare to take a look, so that you know where the inexplicable fear in your heart comes from. This kind of look is called: dare to face danger.
You can also analyze how you ran away, whether you ran fast, or you tried to run but couldn't. Most people dream of running but they can't. The feeling of not being able to run scared them in their dreams. This reflects a self-awareness of one's inability to escape the dangers one faces in life. How you escape in your dream can also tell you a lot. For example: I once dreamed that I was being chased, I wanted to run away but I couldn't run fast, so I jumped up and wanted to fly to the sky with the trend, but was caught by the person behind me, so I was very afraid. This dream reflects my attempt to escape reality by fantasy (flying into the sky), but reality catches me by the ankles.
Have you ever had the dream that when you're being chased you want to hide, but no matter where you hide you'll be found, no matter how tight you shut the door? Wherever you run, the pursuers are a few steps behind you. Or like the woman who dreamed of the dog
At such times, the person or animal chasing you is a part of yourself, your conscience or your values, or your own memories, worries, and pains. Since the pursuer is actually in your own mind, you certainly cannot hide so that he cannot find you, because you cannot deceive yourself.
By the way, do we have to obey our inner conscience? Not really. For ordinary people, the so-called conscience is only influenced by childhood education and family, which may not be necessarily correct. For example, a person of the old age may think that the remarriage of a widow is very humiliating, immoral, and contrary to conscience, and this conscience is nothing but the old morality. Through dreams, we can know what is 'chasing' us in our hearts, and then analyze concretely what we should do. To obey the pursuer, to defeat it or to persuade it.
Because instinct is unconcerned with social norms, ethics, and often manifests as sexual and aggressive impulses, it inevitably conflicts with one's ego. The outcome of the pursued dream often symbolizes the dreamer's strategy to resolve this conflict.
In general, chased dreams have several outcomes:
(a) the person being chased (often the dreamer himself) is bitten or killed;
(2) the person being pursued pretends to be dead or hides from the sight of wild animals or bad people;
(3) The person being pursued fights head-on with wild animals or bad people.
The end (1) symbolizes that the dreamer is usually too repressed to his instinct, so that after repressing to a certain intensity, he begins to be strongly resisted or retaliated by instinct. The more ferocious the pursuer in the dream, the greater the intensity of the dreamer's instinctive repression;
The end (2) symbolizes that dreamers often use self-deception in daily life and turn a blind eye to release some instinctive impulses, that is, to add some reasonable camouflage to the instinctive impulses, so that the self does not feel anxious. Such dreamers are generally weak in character;
The end (3) symbolizes that the dreamer continues to suppress his instincts in daily life, or that the dreamer has suppressed his instincts for a long time, and the dreamer himself has become a rational machine.
None of the strategies presented in these three outcomes is the right approach to instinct. The correct attitude towards instinct should be like Yu the Great controlling the flood. It is not desirable to let it overflow naturally, but blindly repressing instinct will also lead to future trouble, and 'channeling' is relatively preferable.
Shaking hands with a dream beast or a bad person is a kind of guidance. If the instinct is channeled, it is a steady stream of vitality and vitality; If it is pressed, blocked and eventually flooded, it will become destructive. If excessive repression, vitality, vitality will be exhausted.
Psychological dream interpretation
Dream Explanation: This dream is usually caused by extreme worry or frustration in real life. Dreaming of being chased and running is a bad omen, indicating that the dreamer wants to get rid of some difficulty or pressure as much as possible, but often powerless. In fact, when there is nothing else to do, you can seek the help of others and use the strength of others to help you through the difficulties.
Psychoanalysis: Dreaming of his wife
Dream of being chased case study (from
Dream description: Mr. Cao's company's career development is in a leading position in the same industry, and his business ability has been widely recognized by the industry. Recently, the company assigned him to take over a management position from a technical position to develop a new project, and he began to worry about what would happen if he failed to challenge the new project? Suffer from gain and loss, worry about ability is not enough, make mistakes, can not keep the current position. With a lot of concerns, the behavior has become more and more conservative, and the treatment of people and things is indecisive, and there is no decision before, and the situation of work judgment errors has increased. He was more anxious and worried that he would fail. That night, he dreamed that he was chased by a group of men with no place to escape, and fell down the stairs with a foot missing. A man raised a big knife to cut over, Mr. Cao's face was slashed, his face twisted and disfigured, he woke up scared.
Dream interpretation: The symbolic meaning of chasing such dreams refers to the conflict between one's ego and instinct. For example, sexual instinct and attack instinct are suppressed by civilization and society, so they are generally symbolized by beasts or savage and animalistic people. That is to say, in this kind of dream, dogs or other fierce beasts, bandits, robbers, etc., are symbols of instinct. The pursued person is usually the dreamer himself, sometimes someone else, but still a symbol of the dreamer's self. Chasing and killing in the dream symbolize psychological conflict. Psychology is like a river dam, if the water in the dam is accumulated too high, the water will burst out of the dam, so the water in the dam needs to be surrounded and channeled at the same time. A reasonable balance between external needs and human nature, and the more the natural nature is suppressed, the stronger the backlash, and the nightmare will follow. Nightmares prompt attention to the balance of physical, rational, emotional, and sexual energy.
Therefore, a dream like Mr. Cao's shows that he does not want to accept the new position in his heart, and his subconscious knows what is best for him, so he shows it in his dream. The dream's warning was that if Mr. Cao tried to do inappropriate work, he would fail - be chased, fall down the stairs, lose his current prestige - and be disfigured in the dream.
