I was with a group of strangers in a strange misty forest trying to find somewhere to hide from a serial killer wearing a venom mask. We eventually came across a fort and it was determined the fort is where we would hide and defend ourselves from the killer. I didn't feel safe so I fled into the forest. The killer saw me leave and began hunting me. They continued hunting me until I made it to a guarded city. I entered the city safe with the killer watching me from the forest.
Your dream may suggest that you are feeling vulnerable and seeking protection from an unknown threat in your waking life. The serial killer may represent some anxiety or fear that you are currently experiencing. The misty forest may reflect feelings of uncertainty and confusion, while the fort could represent a temporary shelter or defense mechanism that you are relying on. Your decision to flee into the forest and the subsequent pursuit by the killer may suggest a feeling of being chased or pursued by a threat that you can't escape from. However, the fact that you eventually reached a guarded city and entered it safely may indicate that you are ultimately confident in your ability to overcome this fear or anxiety.
