Dreaming of being chased and killed suggests that you deeply desire to erase an inglorious past. In other words, in this dream, both the pursuer and the pursued might be you. You wish to eliminate the part of yourself that you cannot accept and start afresh.
If you feel that the person chasing you is very powerful or influential in your dream, it indicates a desire to become stronger than before.
Dreaming of being chased and choosing to run away signifies that you are under great pressure in real life and have not yet figured out how to solve your problems. You are often at a loss, feeling very conflicted, afraid to face reality, and unsure of how to resolve your issues. This indicates a passive and avoidant mindset, where you only evade reality without solving the problem, leading to a continuous state of being chased.
Dreaming of being chased and choosing to fight bravely suggests that you face the pressures of reality and any difficult problems head-on. You might have already found a solution and are actively trying it out, hoping to resolve the issues soon.
Dreaming of being chased and choosing to play dead or hide to escape the sight of beasts or villains indicates that you are temporarily helpless regarding the current situation. You choose to ignore it, symbolizing that in daily life, you often use self-deception and avoidance to release some instinctual impulses and pressures.

Over time, this distorts your perception of the environment, suggesting that you generally have a weak personality.
Dreaming of being chased, bitten, or killed means that you can no longer bear the pressures of reality or find a way to solve your problems. You have given up and lost the will to fight.

Case Analysis of Dreaming of Being Chased and Killed
Dream Description: All my dreams have a common theme: I am always running away, and someone is always chasing me, seemingly wanting to kill me. I have had these dreams for many years. Although the stories are different, the feelings are the same. In many dreams, I can fly, but the enemy always follows closely behind. He cannot catch me, and I cannot shake him off. I always wake up feeling exhausted! (Male, 44 years old)
Dream Analysis: "I am always running away" represents your habitual behavior of avoiding things in real life. "Flying" in your dreams symbolizes escape. The recurring dreams can be seen as constant reminders from your inner world, hoping to draw your attention. The "enemy" symbolizes what you are avoiding. Therefore, you should pay attention to your "avoidance" pattern in real life and try to remind yourself to "wait a bit before escaping and see what happens if you persist."
