A recurring dream where i keep running?

Question

I have had this dream many times before. Its always in the same setting, a few people are the same, but some change. Its always at this school that is out for the summer. Its always sunset. In the dream we constantly run uphill. And there's always a guy in a truck chasing me and the other kids. He never catches us, but it gets scary because 1) after a little while, my running slows down rapidly, and the guy almost catches me.

2) i have NO idea who the guy is, but he terrifies me!

I have had this dream before, and the only thing that ever changes are the people. One or two stay the same, but others are in the dream every time. I don't know who any of them are, but i recognize them enough to realize that i have seen them before.

Why does this keep happening? Why am i running?

Answer 1

You're running uphill, you're struggling. Maybe you're having hard times in your life, things that are difficult to cope with, like running up a hill. Maybe you're also running from something - your problems. You're trying to get away? The truck driver could reprisent someone in your life, maybe the source of your problems and you're trying to get away from him.

Hope that helped.

Answer 2

This is a common dream, and it does fell scary. The brain tells us that it is scary as in real life.  It could mean a lot of things. You could be running something you don't want to face, even yourself. School in dreams tend to be the desire to learn - even if you are running away. What is it that you feel like you are trying not to face in your waking life. The chaser could also be a representation of yourself. If you want this dream to stop, stop running and face your fear (in your dream and waking life). If you keep dreaming of school, your brain might be telling you, you are in mental idle right now, or it needs more something you can learn.

Answer 3

Perhaps you are running away from something in your life?

dreams are when the subconscious mind meets the conscious- that is, if u remember them. are you running away from something in your life that you desperately need to change? once you face your fear, this dream would go away.  

Answer 4

The running and running uphill (especially at school) means you an overachiever. Maybe you are a first child or just very smart or take on many responsibilities. You need to heed the advice to slow down and take time for yourself. The guy catching you and the guy in general are just there to make you alarmed enough by this dream to remember it when you are awake. Nothing bad is lurking or will happen. Whatever you are up to in life right now, career, errands, etc. that are monopolizing your time and energy need to be cleared a bit so you can focus and rejuvenate. The dream says "You are spreading yourself too thin!"

Take care of yourself and successes will follow in life!
