To dream that you are running away from someone, indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid.. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.


To dream that you are trying to run but cannot make your feet move ( I use to have these dreams all the time)as fast as you want them to, signifies lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. It may also reflect your actual state of REM paralysis while in the dream state. When you are in REM it is almost impossible to wake and when in REM you don't move like you do during your other sleep phases at night
