Dream About Being Hunted
Being hunted in a dream is considered an obstacle dream.
People hunting other people is shocking, as is worrying during a dream. In 1924, a novelist called Richard Connell published a story aimed at this very concept. Since this publication, we have seen many films, such as “The Hunger Games,” and this has in turn raised questions about the ethics of human hunting. Additionally, in 1932, there was a film known as “The Most Dangerous Game,” which basically featured violence and the hunting of people.

Dream About Being Hunted By A Man
Imagine that you are being pursued by a person in your dream, regardless of whether that person is a complete stranger or someone you know. In this scenario, you should ask yourself, “What is the personality of that person? How do they approach life?” Anderson makes a case for.
“You might say it’s someone who’s always really critical,” Anderson continues. This is due to the fact that the individuals we see in our dreams frequently symbolize aspects of ourselves. Therefore, the appearance of a judgmental person following you about in your dreams could be an indication that you are trying to escape your own overcritical instincts.
