Dreams do not necessarily mean anything.

The brain makes up input during sleep ,
It has been said that it is an attempt to
Rationalize events by the brain.
Some actual experiences , some not.

If a dream keeps repeating , or it actually predicted something
Occurring . Then they may need to be addressed.

But for the most part they are just dreams.
I am no expert concerning dreams , but this
Is how I understand what I have encountered
On the subject.

To repeatedly dream of being chased suggests there is something in life you are trying to avoid.

The fact that someone is trying to kill you can be interpreted several ways. Maybe it signifies the degree of fear regarding whatever you want to avoid. Maybe it is more about the degree to which you are actually avoiding something - as though you are 'killing off' a certain part of your own emotions rather than deal with whatever is bothering you subconsciously. Death can also signify an ending or significant change. Whether of a way of life, a relationship, or a way of thinking.

Is there some big change in your life that you don't want to face? Or something else that is worrying you?

Yes I have finally decided to let go of a realationship that was bringing me down. Things were being said to me but her actions did not follow the words what she would say..
I basically felt like she was holding on to me and saying what she thought I needed to hear in order to keep me still in close and not walk away.
I felt this to be the hardest decision ever for me :( perhaps that is why I am dreaming of someone chasing me trying to kill me...

The same thing is happening to me. I keep dreaming about Chinese people trying to kill me and my sister,which I haven't seen in awhile. I keep having the dream though and it's scaring me.

I've been tossin and turning sleeping for an hour or so only a day but dream about someone trying to kill me in my own house.. Idk.. For some reason I can remember it from awhile back.. And It's been the same guy trying to kill me...

I keep having a re-occuring dream that someone is chasing me and I'm running and hiding from this person but in my dream I never figure out who it is or why I'm running and I never get caught either... I have had this dream over and over...

I keep having dreams of someone trying to kill me. This has been going on for a few months and sometimes I wake up really scared. Its always a male but a different person sometimes. I never know who they are but I always run and I wake up before they get close enough to actually kill me. In my dreams my parents or my friends might be with me but then suddenly they are gone and I'm alone. Then the man always comes for me. I don't know why I keep having these dreams but it bothers me

I have the same dream all the time that I'm being chased and beaten up

I had the same dream and in the same situation. The relationship is bringing me down and she says things to keep me holding on. I have lost a lot of feeling and respect and trust for her.

Ive just had a dream that some foreign guy is wanting to kid napp then kill me in my own house too! An my family members were there.. In the dream we got away in a car.. And I'm having the same issues with my partners as the guy said up the top so I'm guessing its related to that.. Freaky!

So happy other people are dreaming the same dreams as me!! It probably is about your partner as I've had a lot of issues with my boyfriend and the same thing where its all talk to keep me sweet but no action and it has really been getting me down. Looks like uve got to make a choice hope they change or leave...

I have the same dream I run to a well populated place, sit there for a while mock him and run off after all the people left the area.

The same thing happen to me I let a relationship go
Because it was not working out and I being having this scary dream dirrent people trying to kill me

Wow thanks it really is helpful haha and yes I didn't want to face a person well the situation because our friendship was on the line but it was mostly embarrassement

I Have The Same Dream, And I Have Been Having Them Repeatly , This Guy its not the same one each dream but they chase me out of No where. But somehow I always escape!

I have repeatedly had nightmares from my teenage years - I'm always lost, half naked, being chased (whether by a man trying to kill me, a gang of kids or even once a raging lion! Ive even had a soldier stick a gun in my face and I woke up swetty and crying. The dreams stopped for a while once I broke up with my ex who was physically abusing me a few years ago but they've started again, not as frequent at all, but just as upsetting. I have a new boyfriend now and he is almost perfect so I can't understand why I still have these nightmares :( they can leave me feeling really sad for the first half of my day

I've been having these dreams for years now. Its where I'm being chased either alone or with my brother.The people are always trying to capture me/us, and I think they would take us some place dangerous, I'm not sure what it would mean but so far I've visited 6 websites and they all say I'm trying to avoid a problem, or can't help deal with something that is worrying me, hope this information helps those with the same problem

I have had some what of the same dream for a few years now. A vampire usually in an arina is chasing me, trying to kill me. When I looked into it, it explained that it's anxiety from owing someone something or always running from something, and you'll usually have the dream if you don't face a fear that day. So I would say Always Face Your Fears. 143

It also means you need to turn the TV off.

I had the chase dream last night to. First I was collaborating some things w/ friends and then some enemy tried to wrong a friend of mine, so my friend beat him (we are not that way and I don't think that way). Then later, the enemy and his crew saw us and started chasing us. Before long, it was just me running from the crew of bad guys. Surprisingly, I escaped and felt good about that. Then a bit later, I was with a bunch of women and children (sort of like a Sons of Anarchy situation, since I'm a fan of the show) and trying to hide the women and children from a pending conflict w/ some major rival crew. I didn't succeed at getting them out of there before the crew showed up and although they greeted me pleasantly, they hinted at our pending death. At one point, I thought about how to get myself safe, to go get help, but I quickly decided that I couldn't leave the women and children. I actually felt prepared for anything, knowing that I was doing the right thing in trying to protect them. Then I woke up. (We were probably all killed, unless by some miracle, someone came in and saved the day... actually, there was a small hope... one guy on our side w/ a machine gun was able to hide himself... I kept hoping he would come through and take out the immediate threat... he may have). Other than that, I slept like a baby last night.

Oh, and the night before, my younger brother was overdosed on some kind of drugs and I could tell he was losing it... but no one in my family wanted to assist with getting an ambulance for him or taking him to the hospital. I tried 9-1-1, but no one answered there either. I just kept yelling at my family, "WE NEED TO HELP HIM!!". That was a little more scary than me being chased.

PS: I stopped smoking weed like 3 weeks ago and have undergone some major beneficial changes in my life (pretty drastic changes). Hopefully this is all just me settling into my new, healthier lifestyle (and not a fear of losing my job, which is really the main thing that has been causing me anxiety... but I've been fearing losing my job for 9 years).

Oh, I just remembered something I forgot to add. At one point I was in a house with a lion and just barely escaped w/ my life. Damn lions! They don't make good house pets.

I always have dreams of someone in a costume from a scary movie. But its always in a different place. And my closest family usually ends up in my dream. But I've been split away from them for a while so maybe that's why. But it really CREEPS ME OUT cause I never die!!

I had this dream of being strangled by someone, constantly for years. Recently I was diagnosed with 'Sleep Apnea' which is where the throat goes limp during deep sleep and closes up my windpipe.

Sleep Apnea can be dangerous over a lifetime and lead to stokes, heart attacks and other problems, like high blood pressure.

It has come to the point where I can't/don't want to sleep so I use lots of caffeine.

If you're dreaming constantly about being chased, strangled, or waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, can't move, can't scream etc. then you might be suffering from sleep apnea. It's pretty much impossible to detect yourself if you have it though.

A girlfriend who can tell you if you stop breathing in the middle of the night is the best person to help you.

It can mean what Boserer said or it may mean you need to make amends and resolve something in your life.

I have a dream that the girl from the film ' The Ring' is strangling me.

Recently my BF ended it with me as he felt as though we were drifting apart in his mind. YET I was and am ( 5 days on) still pretty much in love with him and I have tried to forget the feelings I have for him and yet I cant. Its been since the split that I have had this dreams sometimes in my dream I am getting strangled and then my mum there shaking me trying to wake me up and then I wake up in the dream and am shaking and its really odd. Some-times I don't get to that point sometimes I see her hands and jump in my sleep and so I wake up...

I don't know why I have this dream its just odd how most above comments are about splitting up and all have odd dreams. Is it our mind trying to tell us to move on or what I guess no one will ever know.
