An Old Dream

I happened to read a post on a particular dream by the author at mysore blog park

It reminded me of one particular dream I used to have during my teenage days. Here's what I can remember:

I am running. No, not exercising, but trying to escape. Escape what? No idea! It's pitch dark and I am running. May be scared of something. I stop intermittently... turn around to see if I'm being followed and start running again. And the sequence would endlessly repeat... running aimlessly... stopping... running again!

This dream would haunt me time and again, repeating every few weeks for years. I don't know when I stopped having this dream but I sure remember having it for a long time.

I used to discuss this with some of my friends at school also and it so turned out that I was not alone. Almost everyone I talked to, had had this dream time and again.

May be its a part of growing up, the pressure to perform, uncertainty of vast future. Just wondering what a psychologist would have to say.
