Dream Guide · Actions & Events
What does dreaming about being chased mean in the Bible?
Something pursuing you — and a refuge that holds
Being chased in a dream usually points to something you are avoiding while it keeps pursuing — fear, conflict, a decision. Scripture's counsel is to stop running toward nothing and run somewhere: God is a refuge and fortress, He scatters what rises against you, and He faithfully guards His own. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, being chased is filed under actions & events — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Psalms 91:2, Deuteronomy 28:7, 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to being chased, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
