Islamic Interpretation
Running away in a dream signifies turning toward God Almighty and seeking His protection and safety. It may also indicate receiving an appointment, repenting from a sin, or it can point to one’s death. If a person runs away from a feared enemy, it means he will attain security and safety. If a learned man or scholar sees himself fleeing from an enemy in fear, it signifies that he will be appointed as a judge or entrusted with authority. If one runs away in a dream without feeling fear, it indicates his death. (Also see Escape from danger, Take a flight)
