I had one where I worked at a school and a 6 year old girl named Cadey (pronounced like Katie) would always bring a toy from home and surprise everyone with it. But one day she brought in her parents' gun and shot a boy. Everyone was shocked except me, because I had a stop sign growing out of my neck and couldn't afford to see a doctor πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ and was so overwhelmed.

One dream I remember is something I still wonder about. Was it some sort of sign or does it represent something? I dunno. But I remember I was in some sort of giant, deserted resort. Think The Shining. I remember seeing a red fox that kept bothering me. Whenever I would see this fox, it would yelp and bark which would call something. I don't know what this was that it was calling, but when it got near, I remember I would hear something like a distorted violin play along with large footsteps and growls. I would run away from thing and I could hear it behind me chasing me. After running away from this thing and hiding in a small store that was filled with the evening sun, I remember seeing the shadow of this thing pass by the window. It was a large monster. And, followed behind it, and this is where I'm wondering what the meaning behind this is, I saw four women dressed in red jackets. They were jogging behind this thing. Three of them came into the store I was hiding in and found me. Each one had their own personality. One seemed to like me, one seemed to hate me, and one didn't pay any attention to me. I don't know about the fourth one. And, strangely enough, they were all Asian. Now, I'm not Asian so I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. But, when I saw these women, I immediately thought of the fox. They were the foxes in human form that were chasing me.

Usually, animals in dreams are a placeholder for the unknown and unpredictable, something that is perceived as dangerous. The distorted violin that I would interpret as a sad instrument hints a little towards sadness that you hide from, but I'm not that the sound is just scary to you, just like being chased by the monster. So it seems you are avoiding the confrontation with something that scares you in your real life, or something that only scares you subconsciously that you buried. When you meet or see other people in your dreams, like the four women, they basically represent parts of yourself (because, well, you are the one dreaming after all). The women gave away your hiding space and are a threat to you. I can't really tell much from your further description, I feel like there is more context in the interaction you maybe had with the three women. But maybe they are also just a means to keep the dream in the "being chased and in danger" loop. It's common to not be able to fully hide and stay in safety in a dream like this, since that would mean the conflict was solved and therefore the dream would cease to be. You probably wouldn't even have remembered it.
