I have a dream. I am running, from everybody who loves me, this is the first thing I run from. I slow down in a little villiage - there is a girl on the pavement. Her hair is dark, her face nothing but a blur. Her eyes light fire, the street is engulfed in flames.
It is as if this never happened - the street is fine, the girl is gone. I am unnerved - I go to a protective magic shop, I am told that a ring of salt cannot protect me, I buy charms and herbs that sink in to my black nail-varnish.
I am running again, but from the darkness. It gathers in corners in which it shouldn't - the edges are wrong. I am in a forest, and I run for an age, loose the darkness for a while. I come across a little clearing - it is beautiful and there is a small cabana in the middle. i go in; there are two people living there, a tall, built man and a blonde woman. They tell me that they have been running from the darkness as well. I think I am safe.
A small period of time passes; I walk into the kitchen and the man is being dragged outside by shadows - not tendrils, they just flow over his body and pull him outside. I think I scream. The woman rushes forwards, her heart is breaking; she and the man were in love. The darkness grabs her also; it eats her up, the last visible thing of her is her blonde bob.
I cannot help them. I run. I have a plastic bag in one hand which rustles hen I run. I run for three days without food; I survive on dirt. I collapse, I do not think the darkness knows where I am. I see a mouse and I am so hungry. I try and kill it by throwing clods of dirt at it. The mouse laughs at me when I miss; my eyes narrow. Suddenly I am another woman, and I pick up a log shaped like a bazooka, swing it at the mouse. I miss.
the road at the end of the forest lights up with headlights; it is someone who is in love with me (his name is Zach in real life, we are old friends). A girl pokes her head into the window to tell him where I am.
I run again, through a hospital where I cut my hair and put on a labcoat. I run out of the hospital onto a free ferry towards Scotland. I can no longer see either Zack or the darkness following me.

About a 1/4 of my dreams involve me running away from family/friends =/ this does not bode well..
