Owen SterlingBeing chased by bad guys happens when the brain encounters an unfamiliar rivalry or a pressure that feels like an intrusion. The mind uses this image to practice navigating a conflict or an obstacle that will not stay at a distance.
The presence of these figures suggests that an external conflict or an unknown factor is being moved into the field of awareness through the mechanism of flight. A reckoning with an obstacle or a person is being simulated to test how the dreamer handles the pressure of being pursued. The feeling of being overtaken is a sign of an impending confrontation with a matter that has been avoided. This dream provides a space to encounter the friction of life without the immediate consequences of the encounter.
Hiding from bad guys changes the nature of the dream by shifting the focus from flight to the preservation of safety through concealment. This state indicates a desire to remain undiscovered by a scrutiny or a pressure that the dreamer is not yet ready to face.
Running from bad guys or running away from bad guys increases the intensity of the flight, turning the dream into a more active test of endurance against a perceived threat. This movement signifies a more strenuous effort to maintain a necessary distance from a source of tension.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
