I feel people who had a negative impact on us in our waking lives (whether living or dead) materialize in dreams when our inner selves are trying to call attention to something we are dealing with or need to emotionally reconcile. The fear of a stalker never really goes away. I have never had one, but I understand the fear of being followed or watched closely, interaction or otherwise. I had one scary dream about my ex-brother-in-law that really disturbed me. He was in the military and a trained killer, very aggressive toward people. He's had several run in's with the law and he was very abusive toward my sister. I never dealt much with him, but deep down, I had a very strong fear of him I feel I still do were I ever to see him again.

I can't handle fear dreams. But I am always telling myself there is little I am physically afraid of. I don't live in the greatest neighborhood but I have no qualms about being out past midnight in the streets... Maybe sometimes I do fear something could happen to me. Perhaps my ex-bro might be symbolic of that. JMO.
