I Keep Having Dreams of People Chasing Me

Q. Patti, you state in an article "Dreams can give us information about the state of our health". If I tend to have a lot of dreams where someone is chasing me, does this mean my health is significantly compromised? I know I am nervous about some upcoming things, but is it "normal" to have these types of deams? And would you recommend turning around and facing my pursuer? - Rose

A: Thanks for your questions Rose. Chase dreams are very common and they can, but don't usually point to health issues... unless your health is something you are trying to avoid. The chase dreams can be about anything in your life you are running from or don't want to look at. If it is a recurring theme, however, it points to something that is unfinished for you-either a feeling or situation- and it is your psyche's way of saying, "pay attention". Yes, turning to face what is chasing you is a fine way to learn about it and possibly shift it.
