Dreams of Running Away While Chased - dream meaning with inherited lore

A person or something unknown follows from behind, and you keep running away. You pass through alleys, stairs, and roads looking for somewhere to hide, sometimes escaping in the end or waking from the dream.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being chased and running away have sometimes been interpreted as reflecting an impulse to avoid worries or uncomfortable situations. Making it out safely may also be seen as a sign that a difficult matter is getting past one major hurdle. (In folk dream interpretations, being chased and running away have often been read as scenes symbolizing real-life worries, conflicts, or burdens.)

Through the mind: You may be constantly watching your step at work, with family, or in a romantic relationship, or there may be a conversation you have been putting off. More than the fear you felt while running away in the dream, what you wanted to escape from may offer a clue to what is on your mind now.
