What Does It Mean?
Running away from something in a dream reflects the psyche's avoidance pattern — the dreamer is fleeing something they feel unable to face in waking life
What you are running from in the dream is significant — note whether it is a person, creature, force, or unknown threat. Each holds different meaning
Successfully escaping in the dream can be temporarily comforting but warns that the avoided situation will return until faced
Turning to face what you are fleeing from in the dream is the most powerful resolution — if you manage to do this, the symbol loses its power
