Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud once said that interpreting the meanings of dreams was "the royal road to the unconscious." He believed dreams always reveal something about hidden wishes and deep desires.
More modern research implies that our dream consciousness very much reflects our attitudes, biases, stereotypes and feelings about the people, places and things in our lives. While there are many theories of dreams, it's hard to deny that some dream scenarios come up more often than others.
Being chased is another one of the most common dreams encountered. The meanings of dreams about pursuit are good indications that "you are avoiding something in waking life," says Loewenberg.
She adds, "When you get this dream, ask yourself, 'Self, am I trying to avoid a confrontation with someone? Am I trying to get out of a responsibility or obligation? Or is there something from my past that I'm afraid might catch up with me?'" Whatever you're running from, she advises that you face the situation to keep your dream time more pleasant.
According to www.dreammoods.com, the assailant in chase dreams may also represent a part of you -- whether it's jealousy, anger, fear or love -- which you may be manifesting as something that needs to be confronted. It's also possible that stories in the media cause some women to feel fearful of being chased or attacked, thus leading to this impressionable dream.
Though you can find the generalized meanings of dreams in a dream dictionary, you will need to conduct your own introspective dream research to see how the motifs of your dreams carry through into your everyday life.
There is no denying the power of dreams once you begin to keep track of them and analyze them. The majority of Americans feel there are lessons to be learned during those brief windows of REM sleep.
In fact, some of the greatest thinkers of our time -- including Einstein, Bohr, Churchill and Dali -- credit their discoveries with memorable and vivid dreams they had. You just may find that dreams are truly the window to the soul.
