From an emotional perspective, dreaming of being chased is an expression of fear. It indicates that the dreamer is facing some kind of danger in their life at that moment, is terrified of this danger, and desperately wants to escape or get rid of it.
Fleeing was likely the first reaction of our animal ancestors when faced with danger. When monkeys encounter ferocious beasts, unlike snakes that can hide in caves, thorny bushes that can curl up into a ball, or turtles that have shells to retreat into, their best option is to run. Therefore, fleeing out of fear is one of the deepest instincts in human nature. When fear arises, one naturally dreams of running away, with the dangerous enemy relentlessly pursuing them. Thus, if the dream interpreter wants to know what is causing the dreamer's fear, they should ask what kind of person is chasing them in the dream; if not a person, then what is it? This person, beast, or monster symbolizes the person or thing the dreamer fears in their current life. Although the dreamer may not intellectually admit to being afraid of the other party, subconsciously, they are already afraid.
According to Freud's theory, the symbolic meaning of this type of dream refers to the conflict between a person's ego and instincts. Instincts such as sexual instincts and aggressive instincts, suppressed by civilization and society, are generally symbolized by wild animals or savage, bestial people. In other words, in this type of dream, dogs or other ferocious wild animals, bandits, robbers, etc., are all symbols of instincts. The one being chased is usually the dreamer themselves, sometimes it may be someone else, but it still symbolizes the dreamer's ego.
