This type of dream is common when trying to deal with something that is bothering you; especially if you say that "there's not really a way to solve it." There may not be a way to solve it, but perhaps you need to accept what is happening even if you cannot solve it.
When you don't know why you are having a dream and when it's repetitive, you can train your subconscious to "talk" to your dream. When you fall asleep at night, tell yourself that when the dream occurs you will not run but you will ask "who are you and what do you want". You may need a few nights of practice before getting it but it's do-able.
I suggest you get rid of the ipod in your ears and just relax and breathe normally and be in a comfortable position to fall asleep. Slowly repeat in your head "who are you and what do you want". Imagine yourself not running in your dream and confronting what is running after you. Be patient with yourself. I've done it before and it can be resolved.
You'll be surprised at the outcome. What is chasing you is not necessarily bad....
Good luck with it and don't panic. You are not loosing your mind, this is your subconscious trying to talk to you...
