These dreams are signs that we are feeling threatened by someone or something from which we desperately try to escape. These dreams can be nightmares when unable to move, hiding or cringing in some corner, or running from attack. The Hunter may represent a person who is attacking you in your daily life, or some dark fear that you've not yet addressed. Your own emotional response to this type of dream will always give your the most valuable clues. To be hunted in a dream is to play out your unconscious role as a Victim in your own life; to be chased or chastised. It can also relate to Rebirth or a past life experience.
