Dreaming of Being Chased by a Dog - dream meaning with inherited lore

In the dream, a dog runs after you from behind, and you keep fleeing as you hear its barking or footsteps. As it draws closer, you may become frightened—or stop to assess the situation.
Korean lore: Traditionally, being chased by a dog has sometimes been interpreted as wanting to avoid friction with others or bothersome situations. If the dog felt familiar and gentle, it may also point to tension in a close relationship. (In folk dream interpretations, dogs and chase scenes are often connected to interpersonal energy and a guarded state of mind.)
