Dreaming of Being Chased

🌙 ¿Te suena este sueño?

Someone — or something — is after you and you run, legs heavy, with nowhere to hide.

🏮 La mirada tradicional

Folk belief: being chased warns of an enemy or looming trouble. If the pursuer is a stranger, danger is hidden; a known person signals a quarrel. Escaping means you'll overcome it; being caught means a setback.

🧠 La mirada psicológica (Jung)

Jung saw the pursuer as your shadow—repressed fear, guilt, or a trait you reject. The dream mirrors present anxiety, not a premonition. Heavy legs show feeling stuck or powerless in waking life.

"Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious."

— C.G. Jung, Two Essays on Analytical Psychology
