Well now, you have lucked out. I happen to know a bit about dreams.

The thing that was chasing you was regret, regret over past decisions. Particularly a misplaced regret about moving away from your hometown. You turned and faced down that regret though and now you no longer feel it.

However this has hastened another dream. Although you no longer regret it, you know that you have unfinished business there. The time will come when you must return to your hometown to finish that which is left un-done.
