"I'm Being Chased"

We all sometimes have weird dreams but mine lately have seemed more realistic than normal.

Chris is hunting this week with my Dad and brothers. Sometimes I freak out when he leaves because I don’t like being home alone. This time I freaked out but it wasn’t cause I was going to be home alone that isn’t bothering me this time. It is just because he isn’t here period. It isn’t bothering me or freaking me out like someone is going to break in like I normally do. So it was weird when last night I had a dream that someone broke into our house (which wasn’t our actual house though) and I shot them. I tried calling 911 but they kept putting me on hold and wouldn’t listen to me. So instead I ended up running and kept running like someone was chasing me from house to house. I keep thinking, why would 911 put me on hold I told them someone was after me and they aren’t doing anything. I woke up crying…….Not crying because I was scared someone was going to break into my house. Crying because nobody would listen to me and how scared I was.

So I looked up some dream interpretations today at Dream Moods.

This was the closest fit I could find…..

“I’m Being Chased”

Chase dreams often stem from feelings of anxiety in your walking life. The way we respond to anxiety and pressure in real life is typically manifested as a chase dream. Running is an instinctive response to physical threats in our environment. Often in these dream scenarios, you are being pursued by some attacker, who wants to hurt or possibly kill you. You are running away, hiding, or trying to outwit your pursuer. Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it. Ask yourself who is the one chasing you and you may gain some understanding and insight on the source of your fears and pressure.The pursuer or attacker who is chasing you in your dream may also represent a part of yourself. Your own feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, and possibly love, can assume the appearance of threatening figure. You may be projecting these feelings onto the unknown chaser. Next time you have a chase dream, turn around and confront your pursuer. Ask them why they are chasing you.One may be consumed by their own anger, jealousy, love, or self-destructive behavior. For example, you may be drinking too much or exhibiting open hostility toward others around you. You may subconsciously be threatened by these actions which have been jeopardizing your relationships and/or career. Your dreams are a way of calling attention to these self-destructive actions.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 inspired by fears of violence and sexual assault in which we are so over-exposed from the media. The violence that the media portrays magnifies our fears and how at risk we all are.

Shooting…..
To dream that you shoot a person with a gun, denotes your aggressive feelings and hidden anger toward that particular person. (I didn’t know the person I was shooting or shot.)

So what does my dream mean or does it mean anything at all?
