Correr
Movimiento hacia adelante — hacia algo o lejos de algo.
Running in a dream is the dictionary's image of forward motion. Running toward something is a goal you have given yourself permission to want. Running away is more common — and reliably reads the same way as being chased: avoidance of something that the dream is not letting you off from.
Running and being unable to move, or running through thick air, is the dictionary's image of effort without traction — usually corresponding to a real-life situation where what you are doing is not changing the outcome.
Where you often see it. Running with a purpose you cannot remember. Running from something not visible. Running toward someone the dream does not show. The dream uses running for forward motion — toward something or away from it.
What it is not. Running is not always escape. The dictionary reads it as committed acceleration; the direction is the question.
Related in the dictionary. Read running with chase, walking, and any scene where pace is the question.
