Nyu, if it is a recurring dream, it is probably your subconscious trying to tell you something. Running away from something scary could mean there is an issue in your life you are not facing, maybe because you find it intimidating or overwhelming. Or perhaps you have suppressed emotions. I have issues with hoarding my anger until it explodes, and I've had some dreams where I was doing extremely violent things because the anger had to come out somewhere. Usually the moment you discover the source of the emotion, the dream will stop, at least, that's how it's been for me.
The vivid good dreams are always fun, the vivid nightmares, not so much. I guess it's a package deal. I still remember my first nightmare...I was so small I can't remember anything else from that point in my life, but I remember I watched a show about aliens with my dad, and that night I dreamed I was trapped on their spaceship and it terrified me. If only I'd have that dream today...I'd think it was awesome. Lol.
