What does it mean when you dream of cats running away from you?

Answer 1

The keys to the dream are: 1) What is going through the minds of the people who are running from you (yes, you DO know-- it's YOUR dream... If they can't tell you in your mind, speculate.) And: 2) How do you feel about seeing them run from you? Answer in the Discussion area, and we can look at what all of this means.

Answer 2

The dream expresses your fear that your crush doesn't like you. It is also possible that your own subconscious mind (that produces your dreams) is trying to show you that your crush does not return your affection.

Answer 3

It depends whom you are running from. If it is a stranger, it could be a warning to stay away from them.

More information:

Dreams of running away from something are often figurative representations of the dreamer running away from some problem in real life. For example, one might want to "run away" from unpaid bills, an upcoming exam or a confrontation with a certain person. When one tries to avoid unpleasant issues, the subconscious mind will present a dream of literally running away. Sometimes such dreams can be resolved through lucid dreaming, in which the dreamer stops running, turns around and discovers what it is they are running from, all during the process of dreaming. Perhaps a better solution would be to figure out what one is avoiding in real life and deal directly with that issue. Then the running dreams will stop.

Answer 4

The meaning of this dream could lie in the emotions associated with it, as well as on your own attitude toward cats. If you have a phobia of cats, or if you generally dislike them, then the dream could express relief and the resolution of some pesky problem. On the other hand, if you like or love cats, the dream might express your disappointment in feeling as if the people or things you love always seem out of reach.

Answer 5

This dream suggests confusion in your relationships. The same things you are "running from," represented by your ex, are also qualities in your crush. Your dream may be showing you that you need to think seriously about why you tend to be attracted to people with qualities that hurt you.

Answer 6

This dream is a normal expression of parental stress. In one sense, it gives you the opportunity to experience something you dread, and try out ways of solving the problem in the safe context of sleep. If the dream repeats, you might break down and sob in the first dream, then chase the child in the second dream, then in the third dream, attach a leash to the child before he/she runs away. Even when such dreams are not remembered, they serve the purpose of training the mind to solve problems.
