Running
Running often brings the body's urgency into the dream—whether toward something longed for or away from what cannot yet be faced. The question may be less about the destination than the feeling: are you propelled by hope or by fear, and does the dream leave you breathless with exhilaration or dread?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for running, 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 running in company with others, is a sign that you will participate in some festivity, and you will find that your affairs are growing towards fortune. If you stumble or fall, you will lose property and reputation.
Running alone, indicates that you will outstrip your friends in the race for wealth, and you will occupy a higher place in social life.
If you run from danger, you will be threatened with losses, and you will despair of adjusting matters agreeably. To see others thus running, you will be oppressed by the threatened downfall of friends.
To see stock running, warns you to be careful in making new trades or undertaking new tasks.
