Islamic Interpretation
In a vision, pursuit signifies one's predetermined fate or mortality. If one sees himself being sought by an enemy, it may indicate his imminent death. Conversely, pursuit can also represent matters that cultivate pride, such as education, academic credentials, wealth, or employment. Should one dream of being chased by another, it portends grief and anxiety. Pursuit further symbolizes one's life ambition. If the dreamer is not an actual fugitive, then seeing himself as wanted signifies the alleviation of his apprehensions. If an unattractive person is searching for him, that person represents an unwelcome disaster or accident. If one is apprehended by his pursuer, it denotes an escalation of his fears. If he sees himself pursuing or striving to obtain something, it foretells that he will achieve his objective, or at least a portion of it.
