Nearly all my dreams are me running away from someone/people trying to kill me or rape me. Not all are to scarey but is a releif to finaly wake up. What could it mean? If it means i need to face something how could i figure out what? Should i try not running away and let them hurt me in my dream?
When we are trying to interpret our dreams we must look at what the symbolism in those dreams. You say that you are running away from people that are trying to murder/rape you. Dreams about running away from something can be translated into waking life as the dreamer is trying to get away from something in their lives. Now, you could be running away from all different kinds of things. Cute bunnies, balloons, or even something that is unknown but you are running from people that are trying to kill/rape you. Many people look at the act of murder or rape as ultimate violations. You are taking power away from someone in a very violent way. The way this translates for me is that the thing you are running away from in your waking life has the potential to take away all of your power if it gets the chance. This is a dream of anxiety. You should look at your life to figure out what this thing is exactly and try to resolve it. One other thing that you mentioned that I would like you to think about is having them catch up to you in the dream to let them hurt you. Mentioning that makes me wonder if you feel like you deserve to have your power taken away from you by this thing in your waking life. I hope this helped you out a bit!
Thanx heaps, given me a lot to think about, stil havnt discovered its true meaning but havnt had much time to meditate. I am moving city in new zealand but thats because of the earthquake..
I have these dreams frequently as well, last night I was running from a tsunami, last week I was trying to fly away from some creatures, just couldn't get my wings going fast enough or run with any speed....:-/
I have similar dreams as well, except in mine I'm preparing myself to be on the run. Like I will dream of me packing things I will need to survive in the wilderness and then I am somehow interrupted and I have to take off unprepared...usually the same things happen but in different situations.
Victimization sounds like a recurring theme there, or it could just be nightmares caused by something else. Whenever I have nightmares EVER, it usually consists of me running from a 'bad guy' or someone who wants to kill me.
