Once again, almost everyone has this dream at some point during our life. If someone is behind you and chasing you, this symbolizes that something from the past still has power over you. While we may feel we are past it, this dream illustrates that in our waking life we are still expending energy to suppress it by putting distance between our conscious mind and the past occurrence.
It is important to notice the feelings that come up during the dream because this can be key to unlocking the solution to permanently heal the situation to move forward. The dream is actively trying to bring the conscious mind and subconscious mind together to link the past trauma with how we are feeling presently in the current moment.
If, for instance, a parent is chasing you, it means that you still have issues with that parent. Other symbols will indicate how the situation may be healed and resolved.
