What does it mean to dream about being chased?
A dream where you're being chased usually points to something in waking life you're avoiding — a feeling, a person, a decision, or a task you keep pushing away.
Who or what chases you matters. A faceless figure can represent anxiety itself; a specific person may point to unresolved tension with them; an animal often stands for an instinct or urge you're running from. The dream tends to fade once you turn and face what's pursuing you — in the dream or in life.
Ask yourself gently: what am I running from right now, and what would happen if I stopped and looked at it?
