You don't need to be an athletics enthusiast, a runner , or have seen movies like Forrest Gump or Need for Speed to dream about running . This activity is more than just a sport; you might run to catch a train that's about to leave before you board, because you're fleeing from someone, or chasing a thief if you're a police officer. In short, running is part of everyday life, which is why it's common to dream about it.
In this sense, a dream can be interpreted in many different ways depending on its context and plot; it's not the same if you're running without getting tired, if you suddenly start flying ( see interpretation of dreams about flying ), or if you try to take a stride but don't move forward. What was your speed? Was it raining? Was it daytime or a dark and lonely night?
