Answer:

Although the comment above has similar features to the dream described in the question, further information and careful examination would uncover significant differences. Dreams are produced by each individual's own subconscious mind, and specific dreams are not shared by multiple people.

> All people do share unconscious patterns and symbol systems. The man with the knife in these dreams is a metaphor representing something the dreamer fears. That thing may be unique to each individual OR it might be something that is feared by many adolescents, students or young adults, such as an angry father figure or a hostile supervisor on the job, a jealous rival or a school bully.

> The terrifying chase dream is a type of nightmare experienced universally. When the dream repeats several nights in a row or recurs over months or years, it represents a real life problem the dreamer is avoiding. When the real life problem is acknowledged and resolved, the dream stops recurring.

> The "wounds on the side" described in these dreams are not supernatural manifestations. Dreams are produced by the subconscious mind and are contained within the brain of the sleeper; no spirit or being can materialize from dreams to cause physical wounds. The dreamer, however, can clutch at one's own side during the dream, producing visible scratches with one's own fingernails. A thorn or pet with claws, a broken button or some other sharp object in the bed could also be the source of the scratches. In this case, it is the scratches that disturb sleep and trigger the dream rather than the dream causing the scratches.
