Running and Dodging

I wish I could remember more of my dream. But it's the same, basic premise where I'm running from something. I ultimately escape, but just the simple chase really wears me out. I'm starting to wonder if this is supposed to be a sort of metaphor for my life... relentless education and work, and yet--my overarching goal is to simply reach a point in my life where I don't have to go through all  that trouble.

I don't really recall, but I was of a high position in the dream--something like a heavily protected princess of some sort. I was in an institution of some sort... perhaps a secret educational one that the government did not approve of, which was why government agents were after me and some of my...'crew'. I remember running through some narrow hallways, with a sidekick following closely behind me. There was a point when things finally started to clear up and the agents began to leave... but that's when I realize I had lost something precious to me. Furthermore, my S.O. was MIA, with me concluding he was... just really into himself. Not a terribly satisfying feeling honestly, because that's how I've been feeling IRL towards him...

Ah well. Let's see where this goes.
