Running away Dream Meaning

A dream of running away usually speaks of a situation or a feeling that your mind is not yet ready to face. Notice who or what you are running from, and the meaning becomes clear.

• Being chased by someone you know

  This speaks of a conflict in a real relationship that you want to stay away from for now.

• Being chased by something unknown

  The fear is not really about a particular person but about a vague worry inside you.

• Legs too heavy to run

  This feeling often comes when, in waking life too, you feel you lack the strength to handle the situation.

• Getting away safely

  This is a relieving dream. It shows that the hope of a solution is still alive in you.

• Getting caught while running

  This dream says the opposite. It feels as if, however hard you try to avoid it, the problem will end up standing right in front of you.

Running away is not always a sign of weakness. Sometimes it is a natural instinct to protect yourself. But the question of how long you can keep running also rises from inside you.
