Strange Chase Dream

[alwaysdreaming]

This dream has been bothering me since I had it, but I don't know why. It happened five days ago and keeps resurfacing in my head.

From what I remember of it, there was some kind of gathering, and it was supposed to be extremely on the down-low. There was something illegal about it. For some reason, I took my dad's Opel GT (something I never do IRL, primarily because it's a stick shift which I can't drive). In the dream, my dad had let me borrow the car, but then he tracked me down later to yell at me because he changed his mind and didn't want me driving it (a possible occurance). So the location was like a warehouse, but there were a bunch of televisions and long tables and benches. There was some kind of game on, either football or soccer, neither of which I care to watch. Even in the dream, I wasn't watching. I was pretty much there just to hang out. My dad kept bugging me to give him the keys so he could take his car back, but the parking situation was disasterous and there was no way for him to get out.

So then the cops showed up, probably for a noise complaint, but for some reason, everyone started getting the hell out of there, both by car and on foot. I got into my dad's Opel, but with the horrible parking situation, I couldn't move anywhere. So I got out and started running for it. A cop started following me. The way I was running was practically "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" style with jumping from fence to fence, tree to tree, and roof to roof.

Now the weird part is that the mood of the chase changed. At first, the was chasing after me with intent to arrest me, as was his job. Then after a while, he started acting a little friendlier, I guess so not to spook me so much and to get me to slow down. At one point, I got my leg caught between branches of one tree and I was struggling to get free, and the cop stopped and just watched me, chuckling (liiike.... you're watching someone struggle with something fairly simple, and you want to help, but the person absolutely refuses to accept your help, so all you can do is watch and it's amusing in a cute kind of way). Hearing him chuckle, of course, just made me mad, and I took a risk and looked back at him. He had long brown hair that was tied back in a low pony tail, light skin, about 5'11"-6'1", with a cut build, and looked to be around 28. His eyes have me a little confused. They were an ocean blue, same as my "dream stalker", but they seemed duller. Some of their normal luster wasn't there. I keep thinking that it might have been because it was night, but he didn't feel like my "dream stalker". I think this might have been my own creation for once, though I hadn't expected him to look like that (I was actually expecting someone older, like mid 30s, with short, neat black hair, brown eyes, a mustache, thicker eyebrows, and more average build.). When I finally managed to untangle my leg, I climbed down the tree as fast as I could and made a run for it. Now the reason I think it was my own creation for once is because I heard him say something under his breath, and while I didn't actually hear what he said, it still processed in my head. He said "Umm, I don't see why you keep running... I'm a teleporter. I can just teleport ahead of you." Which he did (and no version of my dream stalker can do that). He continued chasing me, but it was in a friendlier, almost flirty kind of way. I, however, did not pick up on the friendli-/flirtiness of it. I kept running, expecting him to do his duty and arrest me.


So I'm not sure why or which part of this dream exactly has been bothering me. I've had a number of dreams involving being chased over the last couple of months, though all of those had involved someone out to destroy me, and I got to the root of why I was having those dreams. The light atmosphere of this chase is really throwing me off, and I can't even begin to figure out what any of the other stuff means or why it would bother me. Can anyone help me out with this?
