Running away in a dream

Q: I have a dream which I see a lot of times and since a long time. I am not sure exactly how long but I am sure its the same dream I see again and again. Before I used to just ignore it thinking it is just a dream. But now I am a bit worried with these questions in my mind, why do I see this dream most of the times and what could be the meaning of this dream? I would be very very grateful if you could give me some information about this dream. The dream is that I am always running away from someone or something like an animal. I know the person who is running away is me because I feel it when I get tired of running and the fear I have from the one who is chasing me. It's a horrible feelings even when I wake up my heart beats very fast like I was running in real life. But the person who is chasing me always changes. It could be sometimes my mum, sometimes any of my relatives, friends, sometimes a very scary person and sometimes even an animal such as dog etc. Also the place I see this dream always changes. Sometimes it's mountains, sometimes desert, sometimes very old houses and places sometimes just heigh walls etc, but it's always dark in this dream. Whatever the place is, it's always dark there. When I am trying to ran away from that person or thing I leave it very far behind but then in the blink of an eye that person is very close to me again and still running after me which I can't ran away from no matter how hard I try and then I wake up feeling tired and scared. Also anther thing about this dream is that its not always tiring or scary, sometimes I am happy while I am running. It's like I am playing the chasing game and enjoying it. I am really confused about this dream and not sure does it really have a meaning or is it just my mind. Please can you advise me something about this dream?

A: The dream reveals your mental state and condition of fear and concern, happiness and joy in various situations when dealing with different classes of people.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
