A dream about being chased is often a vivid manifestation of avoidance in your waking life. Psychologically, it suggests that you are "running away" from a difficult situation, a looming responsibility, or an uncomfortable emotion—such as fear or guilt—that you feel unprepared to face. The nature of the pursuer can be a clue; if it is a shadow or an unknown figure, it often represents a repressed part of your own subconscious. Spiritually, being chased can indicate a period of intense energetic pressure, signaling that it may be time to stop running, turn around, and acknowledge the "truth" of a situation so you can regain your sense of personal power.
