Dreaming of Running
In short
What does dreaming of Running mean?
Dreaming of running signals vital urgency — you are either fleeing something you refuse to confront, or charging forward with the pure momentum of the Self. To run freely is the energy of the Self unleashed; to flee is to avoid the Shadow that only grows larger with distance. Linked to Mars, Aries, and the Chariot (VII), this dream is about will in purposeful motion.
Jungian interpretation
Running as vital momentum. To flee is to avoid the Shadow. To run freely is the energy of the Self unleashed.
Freudian interpretation
Fleeing from anxiety — the feeling of persecution, the attempt to escape the superego's demands.
Esoteric meaning
Linked to Mars and Aries. Associated with the Chariot (VII) — will in purposeful motion.
