When I first read your post, I considered responding...until I read your reply to Apteryx. I hesitated, wondering if it would be worthwhile to invest my energy when it seemed to have a higher probability of being rejected and dismissed.

You say you get offended when people give you answers that are "obvious". Yet, it also seemed obvious - from a reader's perspective - that the only person that could answer your question is your pdoc. Although I understand that you would be eager to know the answer and wouldn't want to wait two weeks til you saw your pdoc again - any other response is just merely speculation - which, based on your reply to Apteryx, seems to have a high risk of being criticized by you.

Since you've read all that can be read about dream interpretation, my thought was - you probably already know whether or not the types of dreams you describe are common or not based on what you've read. So, what are you asking?

...That you assume that things that are valid for you are valid for everyone...This awareness, I think, could be quite important for you...

Anyway, I just wanted to give you some feedback about how I experienced you, in case you find it useful.

My therapy is mostly gestalt-based, so dreams aren't interpreted in the same way. Each object (animate or inanimate) is believed to represent you in some way - and in my therapy, I choose one object, let it become the focus and try to expand on it - give it a voice, a color, a vibe, etc. It tends to lead to some very meaningful discoveries.

I don't recall having dreams of being chased - although I do have recurring violent dreams quite often. Ironically, though, the meaning behind the dream, for me, has very little to do with the violence.

Hope my response is of some use for you.
