1

Sit grounded for three breaths and name aloud who or what is chasing you.

2

Visualize one safe exit — open a mental door and step through it.

3

Place a hand on your root chakra (base of spine) and repeat a steady grounding breath three times.

4

Write one short boundary or small action that would slow the chase in waking life.

Affirmation

“I slow down, see clearly, and choose my path with courage.”

Next 24 hours

Journal the dream in five sentences, note one repeating detail, and take one small real-world step toward that issue (say no, set a time boundary, call someone).
