Persecution

Interpretation

Feeling pursued in dreams indicates external pressure or internalized judgment. Rather than panic, recognize this as a catalyst—the discomfort urges significant change. If you act as the pursuer, consider how fear might push you toward harmful decisions.

Transformation thrives on conscious response, not flight.

Common Meanings

• Being persecuted: Experiencing scrutiny, breaking old patterns, or seeking safe allies
• Persecuting someone: Confronting shadow impulses, projecting insecurity, or reconsidering tactics
• Escaping persecution: Claiming liberation, setting firmer boundaries, or embracing upheaval with wisdom

Cultural Context

Persecution narratives appear in religions and histories as trials that test faith and resilience. Dreams tap into these stories to explore your relationship with justice and survival.
