It's been somewhat reoccurring, mostly when I was a kid, mind you.

I'm in a wild field with a bunch of friends. We're walking towards the roads when I see a dark figure rustling behind two big trees. The man quietly stares at me and I sense fear. I turn around and the whole field becomes completely empty and silent. Suddenly, he comes running towards me. I start running, and running faster and faster until my body seems to slow down and I try to run but I can't anymore until I lose my grip, I fall and I wake up.

black shadows in dreams sometimes relate to the ego or your hidden self OR the unconscious mind... are afraid of something/worried about something/etc

it means that you're unemployed.

i think the dark figure represents james blunt, and you trying to running away represents you not liking his music, and by falling over, it represents that there is no way to escape him or his music

lmfao!!!
