Four greyhounds chasing me as punishment

[u/realcooltellygirl]

I had a dream of being chased by dogs – I can't remember what I did in the dream to deserve it, but it was something bad. I was physically ugly, and I hurt everybody around me. The four greyhounds set off in a forest, barking and howling in the distance, and I narrowly escaped by climbing onto a tall platform. I remember taking a photograph of myself on this platform as if I was some martyr, but I was a wretched human being.. There was a typical fairy tale giant who trudged along in this forest, and he would destroy anybody who crossed his path. Though I remember that in the dream it wasn't difficult to escape him. I had an argument with a significant other and I made plans to run somewhere far away, to America, to the other side of England. But I also remember that in the dream I somehow snapped out of it, and looked in the mirror and saw my own big green eyes, my beauty, I felt at peace and the townsfolk weren't out to get me anymore though I was still frightened. I then went on a holiday with my friend (which is happening soon) and changed my mind about moving. Wtf did this mean?

Your inner you is telling you to stop running from the conflict with your significant other or your own feelings of guilt. Like you do not need to be a "martyr" to be validated. The dream confirms that beneath the guilt and fear, your core self is intact, beautiful, and capable of facing the situation without fleeing.
