Bad Dreams
I'm stuck. I can't sleep because of a bad dream. I've been laying in bed for over an hour and I just couldn't take it anymore.
When I was in 7th grade I used to keep a dream journal. I was so into dream analysis back then, I actually still have that dream book I used to use. Maybe in the morning I'll pull it out and analyze this thing.
So, I'm in my dream and it's night time out. I'm with a guy who in my dream I know, but in the waking hours I don't have a clue who he is. He must have been a boyfriend or husband or something, because I absolutely loved this guy. Something extra terrestrial is happening, but I haven't exactly seen any aliens. You can just feel them out there, in the darkness. We've run from the house (don't exactly remember what the house looked like anymore) and gotten in a car. I can't get the doors to lock and I'm totally freaking out because I just know they are going to come get us. The guy just keeps telling me to hold the door shut and they won't be able to get in.
That's when I woke up. Now I can't sleep. :(

I did a dream post about two weeks ago entitled 'Dream Catcher' (August 27).
Stephanie gave me the link - www.dreammoods.com - maybe you should visit it.
There is a section in it about chase dreams which might be what you are looking for.
Anyway I hope this helps you to get some answers. Caio.
Ugh. I hate nightmares. I remember your dream book. It scared me to death a time or two. :)
Yes, the flying dreams and out of body experiences! :o

"Chase dreams often stem from feelings of anxiety in your waking life. The way we respond to anxiety and pressure in real life is typically manifested as a chase dream. Running is an instinctive response to physical threats in our environment. Often in these dream scenarios, you are being pursued by some attacker, who wants to hurt or possibly kill you. You are running away, hiding, or trying to outwit your pursuer. Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it. Ask yourself who is the one chasing you and you may gain some understanding and insight on the source of your fears and pressure.
The pursuer or attacker who is chasing you in your dream may also represent a part of yourself. Your own feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, and possibly love, can assume the appearance of threatening figure. You may be projecting these feelings onto the unknown chaser. Next time you have a chase dream, turn around and confront your pursuer. Ask them why they are chasing you.
One may be consumed by their own anger, jealousy, love, or self-destructive behavior. For example, you may be drinking too much or exhibiting open hostility toward others around you. You may subconsciously be threatened by these actions which have been jeopardizing your relationships and/or career. Your dreams are a way of calling attention to these self-destructive actions.
A more direct analysis of chase dreams is the fear of being attacked. Such dreams are more common among women than men, who may feel physically vulnerable in the urban environment. These dreams are inspired by fears of violence and sexual assault in which we are so over-exposed from the media. The violence that the media portrays magnifies our fears and how at risk we all are."
