What does it mean to dream about persecution? |

Dreaming of a chase may symbolize an aspect of the dreamer’s psyche that works from the inside out. It is possible that a persecution is actually going on in his life, but the dream could also imply your own perception.

Check out more details below to help you better understand what you dreamed of.

Reflect on the context of dreaming about persecution

Who chases the dreamer? What are his attitudes toward this stalker? What emotions does the situation evoke? Is there vulnerability or coping in the dream?

Reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling when dreaming of persecution

Does the dreamer feel inadequate or guilty about some attitude in his life? How does the dreamer face criticism, judgments and demands from others and himself? Is there any situation of real vulnerability that demands confrontation in the dreamer’s life or is it a personal perception that does not match reality? What resources does the dreamer have to deal with persecution?

Understand possible applications about dreaming about persecution:

Dream about being chased

Dreaming of being chased by a person may imply that the dreamer is being charged or feeling inadequate in some situation in his life.

Dreaming of running away from persecution

When the dreamer manages to face persecution or find refuge, it can be a demonstration that he already has internal resources to face both an external and an internal situation.

Dream about being chased by animals

If the persecutors are animals, we can think of more instinctive aspects that demand more conscious attention from the dreamer.

To dream that it is a supernatural chase

A supernatural chase, in which the dreamer cannot escape the pursuer, may point to the need to face a certain situation instead of trying to escape it.

Feeling of being helpless

Chases are quite common and tense dream experiences. In general, the dreamer wakes up startled and tired, often crying, sweating and with a contracted body. A chase is usually more tense when the dreamer finds himself absolutely vulnerable and defenseless against the pursuer. When the dreamer has resources, even if there is an implicit tension, it is possible that he will react or find a creative solution to the situation.

Dream elements help to understand it

We must always remember that the dream speaks to the dreamer’s psyche, so this haunting aspect is working from the inside out. Real persecution situations may be happening in the dreamer’s life, but it may also imply your own perception. This type of dream can be related both to a feeling of profound inadequacy and to a real situation, in which the dreamer’s attitudes have been inadequate and for that he feels guilty.

The stalker in the dream will also be an important element to be investigated. A person, an animal, a supernatural being, in short – each one contains more specific elements of this pursuit.
