Monster
A monster — pursuing or pursued — often touches sorrow and misfortune looming, yet slaying it means triumph over enemies and a rise to eminence. The dream may ask what dread thing is chasing you through your immediate future, and whether you can turn and face the fearful shape rather than fleeing it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for monster, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being pursued by a monster, denotes that sorrow and misfortune hold prominent places in your immediate future.
To slay a monster, denotes that you will successfully cope with enemies and rise to eminent positions.
