An interpretation of hunting dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. To decode the symbolism of what it means to hunt in a dream, begin with how the word is used in figures of speech. To hunt in a dream can symbolize pursuing a goal, such as “job hunting.” It can mean you have your eyes on someone, such as a romantic interest. You are in pursuit, on the scent. Or you have targeted someone, such as a business or romantic rival. The same ideas apply to being the one hunted in a dream, except in reverse. Someone or something is after you. Consider also that the hunt—especially the role of hunter—can be a nice summary of your personality. Some people have the instincts and mindset of a hunter, even if they don’t hunt—they’re patient, stealthy, aggressive, observant, ruthless, quick-thinking, decisive. Hunting can symbolize the personal qualities needed to do a job, such as detective work or investment banking. Oftentimes, whatever hunts you in a dream is something about yourself that feels left out, is repressed or unwanted. It’s a physical representation of a personal situation. Or it can be something you’ve been ignoring, such as a desire to do something. Being pursued or hunted is a common dream theme with people who have something they really want to do—something big, like write a book, start a business, or travel—and aren’t doing it. Being hunted by an animal can mean an instinctual side of you wants to find a place in your life, a side somehow related to the symbolism of the animal. For example, being hunted by a tiger can mean you have the ability to dominate but don’t use it. Or you have a need that’s unmet. For example, a need for more sleep and rest can be symbolized as a bear hunting you. Bears are known for napping and hibernating. See: Animals An animal can symbolize a person you know, so being hunted by an animal can characterize something about the person or your relationship. For example, being hunted by a panther can symbolize the relentlessness of a suitor. Hunting can tie in with other symbolism such as animals, guns, and killing.
