For some reason I am having these reoccurring dreams involving me running, but I can't move my feet fast enough...
The first dream has me at my middle school (which I did not like). I was walking down the hallway at passing time, when I spot my crush (it's weird because he is 2 years younger then me and he wasn't at the school when I was). I start to follow him as I was just trying to talk to him. He disappeared into the crowd of people. As I was looking for him, I spotted one of my friends. I ran up to talk to him and as I did, I spotted another guy who looks like my crush. I only caught a glimpse of him, but it was definitely not him! I talked to my friend for a while and left to go to the bathroom. These bathrooms were bigger then the actual ones at my school. Once I was in, I saw one of my friends standing at the sink. She asked if I had a crush on one of her friends. I asked what her friends name was and then asked her to describe him. Her friend was indeed my crush. After I told her how long I was crushing on him for, she said something along the lines of not to worry and that something will happen soon. Then the dream ended as I was still talking to her.
The second one is another chase dream. I was running from some guy who was very short. Although he was short, he could run very fast. At first, I was running fast, but then my feet began to move slowly. I started to get upset, so I hopped like a rabbit to get away. I ran over to a fence in someone's yard and jumped over it. The guy still followed me. I jumped over about 8 fences before I tried to run down the street. For some odd reason, I took out my iPod and tried to go through my pictures. Each time I tried, the man would get closer and closer. So with one final leap, I jumped up and began to fly a little, but I came back down just as fast. The dream ended as I was still trying to run.
Why do I keep having these dreams??

It is possible that in real life you are running from some thoughts or feelings that you don't want to face. I believe that dreams are usually speaking of the unconscious, so you may have no direct awareness of what you are running from. As a high school student, I know you are likely to face many stressful situations, and there are a lot of changes going on in you. It is likely that between your family, school, and friends, somewhere there are difficult feelings that your don't want to face, understandably. Sometimes you need to get some perspective on this in order to face and feel them, such as what will happen when you are no longer living with your family.

Think about your associations to this short guy. Think about what he might symbolize.

It is true that I do have some emotional days... And I hate it. But I guess it's just a part of life and everyone goes through it at some point in there life. As for the short man, I think he might represent some feelings that I'm trying to run away from...most likely the fact that I do not have a chance with the guy I have feelings for. Maybe as I start to accept it a little more, these dreams might stop. It's just a matter of me accepting these facts. It's just the school thing that gets me confused a little.
