Possible associations
Being chased may evoke wanting distance from an approaching demand. The pursuer and what happens when you stop matter; the dream does not prove a real threat.
A human, animal or unseen pursuer may give different forms to a similar feeling of pressure. Available escape routes differ from closed paths. If the scene repeats, compare changes in distance, support and your reactions rather than assigning the pursuer one definitive identity or treating it as literal danger.
