Chase Dreams

We all have experienced a Chase Dream at some point of time or the other. Our context may be different. The exact dream and its sequence may vary. But there has been good number of reports on chase factor in dreams that analysts and psychologists come across.

Most of us have experienced it at least once in our life. Perhaps you have, too. It could be that you are chasing after someone or something; or it could even be that something or someone is chasing you. Now you may pop the question as to when we have such dreams.

Dream analysts and psychologists are of the opinion that when you are dreaming of a chase it is more often than not your subconscious trying to wriggle out of a situation you are not comfortable with. It is a manifestation of a situation that you are unable to cope up with.

These could also go on to include stress from daily life, anxiety, any phobia that may have, etc. Researchers say that when you cannot fight a situation, the next course that you contemplate it to flee from it. These may also reflect inner turmoil that you may have overlooked. Or it can even be an anticipation of something negative.

• Just a manifestation of something you saw or heard in recent times:

When you watch something that involves fear or chase just before you go to bed, you can have chase dreams. For example, if you watched an action movie that had a chase sequence or perhaps a horror movie. You can regard them to be simply manifestations of what you saw or heard.

• Analyzing your dream:

Remember that it is of vital importance to remember every detail of your dream to arrive at the correct analysis. With that you shall have to be consciously aware of the fact that decoding your dream may bring before you a whole new perspective about your life, and you should be prepared to accept that. When a Chase dream is recurring for you, you so need to figure out the message that it is trying to send you. Begin by recalling every detail that your dream brought forward. If you think you can’t keep it all in your mind, write them down. You should not miss any information. Minute details like the distance of the predator and prey in your chase dream sequence can signify a message – the distance between them being inversely proportional to how fiercely you are affected or how close you are to find the solution. Next you may start out by writing down all those factors in your life at present that you think you are uncomfortable with. You should keep in mind the fact that in your dreams what you see is often rhetorical – so a monster or a wild animal can actually translate into a person or situation you are running away from.

• When you are chasing:

If you dream that you are chasing something, it is more likely than not that the dream is a positive one. We generally chase or go after something that would do us good; either in professional sphere or personal life; or at least so you believe. You may perhaps have the ambition to reach a certain point in your career. Or it may also be the fact that you have in your mind a certain aspiration in your personal life that you wish to achieve – like buying something, getting married or engaged, having a child – the list is long. In such cases your Chase Dream basically is a manifestation of all your ambitions and aspirations.

• When you are being chased:

When in your Chase Dream you see that you are being chased by someone it can have multiple implications in your life. This may mean that there may be a person or situation that you are running away from. It may be so that there is one person whom you would want to avoid, but cannot do so – it may be anyone, your relative, your colleague, your boss, your peer, your teacher etc. It may also be that you are running away from an incident or idea that you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge and accept. It may also imply that you are aware of certain attributes that you dislike about yourself and you feel that they are running after you even when you perhaps deep within want to get rid of them. It may also be an incident that has happened in your life or is about to happen that you are not too happy about and are trying to escape. A masked person chasing you may indicate your attempt to hide something.

• Conclusion:
