a common theme in my dreams is that i'm running away from something, with a fear of being caught by something. the surrounding situation has changed over several years, but it's still a theme that crops up from time to time
today i was running from some kind of oppressive captor, and i had a can of spray paint that was being weird, wouldn't stop spraying while i was releasing pressure, so i throw it out the high window i was already spraying through
this somehow caught some attention and i had to start escaping. i move down the path i came from for a few steps and notice my captors almost at the top of a staircase so i turn around and move into new ground. as i approach another staircase down i see another group and decide to give up and walk arms out toward the group as they appear.
but they're not actually my captors, they're a news team looking for a lottery winner so they can tape a reaction. i move past them, down the stair. as i run through the final stretch, someone tosses me a small item of food. shortly after i reach the outside door, where it fades to white and i wake up
there are some interesting metaphorical implications if i wanted to go into dream interpretation
