the dreamer's condition
Dreaming of chase
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of If you turn and face the pursuer in the dream, you will overcome the thing that has been pursuing you.
Drawn down, it warns of To be caught is to be confronted by what you have been avoiding, sometimes a literal creditor or claim.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of Turning to face the pursuer is the integration of the shadow, the moment the dreamer claims back the disowned material.
Drawn down, it warns of Being chased without turning is the active state of shadow-flight; the contents pursuing you are your own.
When it appears with another
Chase in company
chase + forest
The shadow pursuing through the unconscious. Whatever is chasing you in the dream is in the same psychic territory as you; you can turn there.
