Owen SterlingRunning from a serial killer is a dream that processes an experience of being pursued by a hidden malice. This mechanism of the night functions to rehearse the sensation of an overtaking presence that threatens the dreamer’s sense of security. The brain uses this scenario to test how a person manages the dread of harm when the source of that harm remains unseen or unpredictable.
Being hunted by a serial killer shows a dream where the fear is no longer just about being followed, but about the direct threat to one’s very existence. Such a dream leaves room for the recognition of vulnerabilities that require attention. The exhaustion of the chase is met by the fact that the mind is capable of identifying the direction of the threat.
Maintaining a safe margin while being chased by a serial killer or the act of escaping a serial killer suggests a successful practice in staying out of reach. These dreams add the capacity to preserve a necessary separation from a source of dread, which serves to strengthen the ability to stay ahead of a crisis.
The moment a reckoning arrives or the act of surviving a serial killer changes the verdict of the dream from flight to confrontation. When a person is overtaken from the rear or manages to live through the encounter, the dream moves from a process of evasion to a process of settling a debt with a shadow. This provides a way to integrate the fear rather than simply running from it.

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.
