You could be right but I just can't seem to escape. I never get injured and everyone is faceless. I've been dreaming this since I was a young child. Really weird but I would love to figure it out.
You are a wise man. My recurring dream is that I'm being chased by people I don't know or even see. I can never find a good hiding place and I'm grinding my teeth down to my gums. I can feel them crushing all at once. Then I wake up. Same dream for many years. It is a scary dream.
In reality, for instance, a lot of athletes suffer from long term injuries like concussions and bodily injuries that aren't reversible but I still think their salaries are outrageous.
