I had one of those running...running...hiding...they're after me...dreams a couple nights ago. Yes, there are some stressors in my life that could cause that (potential to lose my contract employment position, etc.).

I become physically ill when I'm overstressed. Internal bleeding, rashes, vomiting, all kinds of fun stuff, so I saw a therapist to learn stress management techniques. One thing he taught me was self-hypnosis and it has helped enormously. Meditation and yoga are also very helpful in dealing with stress. I refuse to take medications to control my moods/emotions, so have had to learn how to manage them through other means.

Dreams, in my opinion, are the sub-conscious mind expressing your fears, hopes and desires in a visible manner.
