Dreaming about running could be interpreted differently depending on whether you were running alone, with someone, towards something, or away from something. Running towards something or chasing someone is usually not a good sign and might indicate you can’t get over something or someone you’ve lost. If you were running away from something or someone it could mean you’re afraid of something or that you’re just escaping or avoiding some uncomfortable situation.
