Dreams

[Mystical]

I dream but I don't often remember my dreams, only the fucked up ones.

I once dreamt I was lost in a garden maze, then went inside a building in the middle of the garden where I fell into a room completely filled with a pool of blood and at the end of the pool was a clown hanging by his feet that was grinning and had blood dripping down his face in lots of streaks. One of the scariest dreams I ever had.

Except the one I had as a kid the night I saw Jurassic Park where I was being chased by veloicraptors with increasingly successful abilities to chase me down culminating with a velociraptor that could fly and chased me into a car repair show and proceeded to eat me alive.

I also dreamt once I was being chased through a shopping mall by ninjas and poisonous green gas - one of those dreams where you're trying to run as fast as you can but your legs feel heavy and you can barely keep ahead of the things chasing you.

I also dreamt once that I was being chased (I'm seeing a theme here...) around a neighborhood by a guy in a black cape and hood and when he finally caught me all I could see of his face was his mouth, cheeks and chin; he had grey, wrinkled skin like he was dead and his mouth was full of pointed teeth. You know the scene from LOTR Return of the King where Aragorn is talking to the mouth of Sauron and all you can see of him is his mouth with those wounds that open and close as he talks? It was like that but way worse.

I have being chased dreams too~ That clown one woul've been awful though. Usually I am a badass ninja girl flying and skiing and evading my predators pretty well. Didn't used to be that way.. I don't know what changed.

Chase dreams are one of several common dream themes, stemming from feelings of anxiety in your waking life. Flee and flight is an instinctive response to a physical threat in the environment. In such dreams, the scenario often features you being pursued by an attacker, an animal, a monster or an unknown figure, who wants to hurt or possibly kill you. Consequently, you run, you hide or you try to outwit your pursuer. Your actions in the dream parallel how you would respond to pressure and cope with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, your dream indicates that you have a tendency to run away and avoid the issue. Ask yourself who is chasing you, so that you can gain a better understanding and insight on the source of your fears and anxieties.

The pursuer or attacker who is chasing you in your dream may also represent an aspect of yourself. Your own feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, and possibly love, can manifest itself as the threatening figure. Or the shadowy figure can symbolize the rejected characteristics of your Self. You may be projecting these feelings onto the unknown chaser. Next time you have a dream of being chased, turn around and confront your pursuer. Ask them why they are chasing you. What are you trying to run from?

If you are the one doing the chasing, then the dream may highlight your drive and ambition to go after something you want. Or perhaps the dream suggests that you are falling behind and having to catch up with everyone else.

Consider the distance or gap between you and your pursuer. This indicates your closeness to the issue. If the pursuer is gaining on you, then it suggests that the problem is not going to go away. The problem will surround you, until you confront and address it. However, if you are able to widen the gap between your pursuer, then you are able to successfully distance yourself from the problem. In essence, the problem is fading away.

A more direct analysis of chase dreams is the fear of being attacked. Such dreams are more common among women than men, who may feel physically vulnerable in the urban environment. These dreams are often brought about by the media, who magnifies fears of violence and sexual assault.
