track - The part of a disk which passes under one read/write head while the head is stationary. The number of tracks on a disk surface therefore corresponds to the number of different radial positions of the head(s). The collection of all tracks on all surfaces at a given radial position is known a cylinder and each track is divided into sectors.

The dream may be a pun for some goal, person, or ideals which you have lost track of. To dream that you are being tracked, indicates that you need to be more careful and stand up for yourself.
