I can taste the clouds, And my wings can carry me to your window

I've been having really weird dreams lately. Most of it involving running away from something. I frequently have dreams about running away from something. But never THIS frequent. And by THIS frequent, I mean 5 nights in a row. All different, too. But all running.

Sometimes, I'm a prisoner escaped from prison and authorities are after me (rasa Prison Break). Sometimes, I have something very important (either something tangible or knowledge of some sort) and legions of bad men are after me (rasa secret agent). Sometimes, I have powers and "with power comes great responsibility". Needless to say, superheroes attract baddies like bees to honey (rasa Superhero). Sometimes, I'm running from the devil. Seriously (rasa angel). And sometimes, I'm running towards something. I could go on and on about all the different kinds of weird running away dreams I get. Maybe next time.
Every time I wake up pondering and trying to remember every single detail of the dream, so that I can scour over them... kinda like re-watching a very interesting movie. This greatly disturbs me. Maybe I just watch too many movies.
"Chase dreams often stem from feelings of anxiety in your waking life. The way we respond to anxiety and pressure in real life is typically manifested as a chase dream. Running is an instinctive response to physical threats in our environment. Often in these dream scenarios, you are being pursued by some attacker, who wants to hurt or possibly kill you. You are running away, hiding, or trying to outwit your pursuer. Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it. Ask yourself who is the one chasing you and you may gain some understanding and insight on the source of your fears and pressure."
Anxiety? I know not what anxiety is. Fear? Pressure? What could possibly be pressuring me during HOLIDAYS....? Needless to say, I must have a lot of hidden inner fears that I don't know of if the above paragraph is true. O.O Not to mention, I've been having chase dreams a lot since I was young. Not fun. Am I really that afraid or pressured? Not that I'm aware of, though. o.O Neither is there anything that I'm avoiding or running away from. Most of the time, I'm trying to outwit my pursuer. Watched too many movies? Or am I really destined for something greater? WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
"The Native Americans believe that you should turn on your pursuer if you dream of being chased, wrestle then to the ground then unmask them. Follow this wise counsel and you will discover that your fears may not be as terrifying as you thought."
What if I'm afraid of finding out what I'm afraid of?

haha, but then I'll never find out what I'm afraid of! This drives me crazy. I can't think of anything I'm afraid of that I don't already know of... and that's why I can't think of it, 'cause I don't know it... and it just goes round in this vicious cycle.

lol, I had Harry Potter and Transformers dreams before. As stated in the newest post, it was so embarrassing when I recounted it to my friend. But while I was dreaming it, I was really happy. Lol. I told you I'm happy in my fantasy worlds. =D I don't believe I'll ever grow up you know. Seriously. Haha.
