Motion

In the traditional reading
Manuals read being chased as something you are avoiding, or a debt of some kind coming due.
From dream research
One of the most commonly reported dream types. What recurs is the situation of fleeing rather than the identity of the pursuer.
Scene by scene, as it was handed down
- Someone chases you — Read as postponed work or an avoided relationship.
- You run but cannot move — Taken as a situation that will not go your way.
- You hide and are not found — Taken as getting past the hard part.
Dream reading is cultural symbol interpretation and does not foretell anything.
