Again, I dream through black spaces, spaces where the shadows surrounding my being in these thoughts are as much a part of the dream as the thoughts themselves. And, today's dreams feel through to yesterday's, like they occur somehow in the same spectrum, as though perhaps this day in the sun were also some space within them. Here is one worth jotting down from last night:
From a dark that is like fog, it is palpable and real -- I am surrounded by wood and there are so many chickens around me, and there are hawks in the sky, picking the chickens off. Some of the chickens are struggling. Sometimes I am seeing myself on the road, and the chickens are above and around me. Sometimes I am a vision of just the chicken and the hawk. Sometimes I see only the chicken up close, struggling under the wounds as again the much smaller hawk swoops, tries to dig in its talons, pull with its pincer beak. There is no sound in this dream. The sights are not frenetic, like it is a thing happening slowly. I stand there watching, and see the thing in pieces, and the fog is all around it and I wonder when the hawks will stop being hungry, if it will happen again tomorrow, if perhaps I should hiss or chase them like I am an animal. I seemed overcome with a kind of calm though that understood I was no match for the combined nature of the two birds, though I was standing there to see it.

An emblem of the soul in ancient Egypt, with the implication of solar
transfiguration (57). Nevertheless, Pinedo maintains that it may have been a
mediaeval allegory of the evil mind of the sinner. In the cloister at Silos there is an
illustration of hawks tearing hares to pieces, and it appears to carry this significance (46), although, given the negative significance of the hare (it symbolizes fecundity, but also lasciviousness), the hawk might be taken as a symbol of
victory over concupiscence (since it destroyed the lascivious hares). But this
kind of struggle is better represented by the mythic and legendary motif—also
frequent in folklore—of the griffin composed of various parts all struggling one
against the other, so that it appears at once as executioner and victim.

Folklore interpretations say that if you are looking at a chase or participating in it, you will have a comfortable old age. Although this may be comforting, there is a more realistic understanding of this activity in a dream.

If you are doing the chasing, it may be that you are expressing some aggressive feelings toward others or are pursuing a very difficult goal. On the deepest level, if a stranger is chasing you it may represent your chasing a part of yourself, the unconscious attempts to catch up with the conscious in order for you to become more aware of yourself and your own multidimensional nature.
