you don't want to get old and are running away but can't quite get away fast enough and can't jump the fence post because aging is inevitable

To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain stem continues to fire and the cortex remains active. The thoughts that have been most active during waking hours—perceptions, experiences, thoughts and feelings, processed consciously or unconsciously—are still “peaked” and they associate with other images already linked in your cortex. In other words, the brain references this content, but not in a rational way, not using input from the external real world as in waking hours. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange flow from one image to the next. Therefore, dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but sequences of associated images taken from everyday experiences - thoughts and feelings that matter a lot to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply one-size-fits-all symbols, such as Freudian meanings or standard “dreammoods” formulas. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.
Dreams in which you're chased usually are caused by fears of being threatened. Old people chasing could mean that authority figures threaten to give you problems at work or in life. Or, it old people could be related to aging and death, and being chased would be an expression of the fear of death. Chase dreams are really common, because there are plenty of dangerous or threatening possibilities in life.

The first three answers a good possibility. I'd like to point out that this could also be a distorted version of a traumatic childhood memory.

Dreams are random bursts of electicity in your brain. What you just described is how your brain interpretted those bursts. So, what do you think it means?
