I had a dream that started off with me as a young woman alone in a dark house. I felt very lonely and frightened to be alone in the house and it was quite dark. I was by myself in the bedroom on the second floor when I heard people enter the first floor of the house. They started calling for me, asking where I was, and it was the voice of someone I knew in the dream (I got the feeling that it was the voice of a boyfriend/partner) but that I knew shouldn't be there. Regardless, I really wanted it to be that person so I tried to reply, but in my frightened state I could only let out a weak croak. Soon enough I heard them coming up the stairs and I knew there was something wrong because I heard multiple sets of footsteps coming up the stairs. At this point the feeling of fear pervading the dream became so strong that I woke up.
I went back to sleep almost immediately and found myself in the same dream. The three people entered the bedroom grinning wickedly. They seemed quite pleased that they were able to create such an atmosphere of fear and they seemed confident that I had no escape. Suddenly out of nowhere a masked man appeared and chopped the three of them up with a hatchet! This was quite gory in the dream and left the young woman quite shaken, but at his point the perspective of the dream blurred and I felt I was both the young woman and the masked man at the same time (though I felt like the masked man knew more than I did and that he represented an aspect of myself that was partially veiled, probably why he had a mask). I could tell that more people were on their way because they desperately wanted to get control of this young woman so we escaped, running out of the house and through the suburban-looking town. There were more of these strangers on our tail and we ran to a train stop and boarded a train. They chased us through every car of this long train but we finally lost them after exiting through the last car.
I don't know why I am always dreaming about being chased or cornered by groups of hostile people, it's a very common theme in my dreams, along with trains.
