A fugitive can symbolize escaping from a situation that feels like prison. For example, you make up an excuse to get out of work, and must be careful to cover your tracks. You then dream about being a fugitive hiding from pursuers.

It can mean you feel like a prisoner. See: Prisoners

You feel like a fugitive when you intentionally do something wrong, dodge a responsibility, or break a promise. It can mean you feel guilty—karma must be paid. It can mean refusal to confront something, or running away from a situation or relationship. It can mean you violate your values, ethics, or other sort of self-imposed restraint. Fear of consequences, or your conscience, is hunting you.

Aiding a fugitive can mean you are compromising yourself. Or your ego has come under the spell of your Shadow, which is the side of yourself that makes excuses for wrongdoing but always extracts a price for the aid it renders.

It can mean you think you can get away with doing something wrong. Or you are helping someone avoid responsibility or get away with wrongdoing. It’s a compromising situation.

Dreamed of murder

I was oddly tired this morning and took a 30m nap before my shift. For second I thought I wouldn’t fall asleep. Then I had this dream that was very in and out. The setting was my gf and I waiting in line for something on the sidewalk. The man in front of her was being an asshole for a while so I decided to take action. In my dream, I started beating on this mans face. Getting more aggressive by the punch. It wasn’t until he fell to the ground and he was laying in a puddle of his own blood.

The rest of the dream was an extreme anxiety/worry about how I’d be a fugitive until they traced the murder back to me.
I was convinced it was real life. I woke up to a 30m timer and had never been so relieved.

Dreamt there was two manhunts on a rural military base.

So, I was on a military base (in a rural/ wooded house) belonging to my veteran ex-roommate. It started with a random soldier running and shooting down a road that goes past this house. He's then followed by more soldiers in that direction. After a few minutes, Tanks and artillery follow and some park in front of the house. They're still shooting down the road and the road adjacent to it.

These generals come in to check the house for the fugitive. Then, they leave after a funny moment where the dude's workstation is shown to be like some SpongeBob computer setup atop the washer and dryer area.

The generals start laughing.

Then, the dream reset. The same events happened again. The difference: Now my roommate was nowhere to be found. Instead, he was the fugitive and followed the same way. He was cornered into an alley and killed with a mortar shell and his brother was later found in a creek.

Then, I woke up.

Covid Z

I had a dream that new covid variant caused zombification, it started in several places in town including a nearby apartment building, it was leaked that incubation period for the virus is around 70 days, soon emergency services were all over the place, one of the first thing they did by day 2 was suspending covid passports of everyone that was nearby and I tried to escape to not get infected, going from village to village, eventually it was no use, the people started hunting everyone that was suspected of contact with the people from the quarantine zone, including everyone moving from the direction of infected town, eventually I got close to the boarder which by now have been reinforced with military at full lenght shooting everyone that cames close, on the radio a communicate from UN that they decided to nuke the quarantine zone as well as aproximently 250km in each direction to destroy the virus by frying it with heat, by that point my leg was broken, I was hiding in an old barn under the wood floorboards, I realised that if I stay there, I would die from radiation within few hours, due to planed bomb strike, I knew that I was too far to get a plane, and even if I did I would have to fly all over the country including q zone to hopefully crashland in the sea, and I would be fugitive for the rest of my life, the solution to infection is not testing people its just executing anyone who could got infected, using my last strenght I stoled a ton of morphine from abandoned farmacy and a gun from police station (most people evacuted 2 weeks earlier when border was still open), I took a lot of morfine and I went to nearby church as the sun was rising I shot myself in the head, then I woke up.

Robbing dream

I was with a group of people whose faces were only vaguely familiar, none I knew in real life. We started to break into a home that was apparently vacant at the time. I remember we broke through the gate, and as we did, I saw what we were doing through a camera feed. I saw the my own completely uncovered head and face, but the rest were all obscured by their hoods. I knew that I was already caught, but I continued.

As soon as we entered the home, I became aware that there was a child and several animals inside. As we started taking things, I tried to keep the others from encountering the child and keep her from seeing me, to avoid an altercation breaking out that would kill the child. Soon, though, someone tripped an alarm, and we knew the police were on the way.

We tried to escape, but the animals (mainly cats, but there was also a pair of monkeys) started leaving behind us. I was preoccupied for some reason with trying to keep the animals inside after I had just robbed this house and the police were on their way. I managed to do it, but apparently one of my 'partners' was not as interested in keeping the occupants of the home safe, and had lit the building on fire before we left, and as we drove away, everything started going down. I don't remember what happened to the girl.

My last thoughts in the dream were about how I was now a fugitive felon, as I'd definitely been seen. Then, I woke up, and was very relieved that I was not.

What does this even mean??

Basically it was me and this one girl, and she was supposed to steal like 100 billion for this one place. So she was about to go do it but she saw these people stealing it already. So she called me and was like these people are stealing this money I need you to help me get it back. I was like Ight bet, cause we were fugitives and I was tired of laying low. So we both had magic powers and she was trynna teleport us to where they were going so we were walking down the street and she was opening a portal up and it happened to be on a playground. It opened but when we went to go into it, it wasn’t taking us anywhere. Then these lil bad ass kids say is and recognized us and started coming towards us. The girl started freaking out and the portal got a lil unsteady and I was holding her and telling her to look and me and trust that I would get us out of there. So she started to calm down some and we were finally able to leave but we ended up in this place that was basically like a detention hall. And the dude that was monitoring it had this thing set up that if you talked this loud alarm went off. So I said something to the girl next to me and the alarm went off and the guy came over next to me and started yelling. I waited till he walked away again to say something and the alarm went off again. So I went a threw junk against the wall. Bruh came up and shoved me into a wall. Now at that point I could’ve beat him up so I was like nah lemme embarrass him. So we started fighting and he was throwing punches and I was dodging them but ever trying to hit back. And I knew I had to let myself get hit so I could get him in trouble. So he charged at me, I slammed him into a wall and turned around slow so he gave time to throw me across the room. When he did that the boss showed up and asked what was going on, he tried to say nothing, and my ex was like no he’s been abusing us and she told me that she sent the pictures of my cut or something, but I didn’t have them cause I deleted the messages a long time ago and somehow it never showed up I guess. And so dude wanted to fight her so I grabbed her and brought her with us when the girl opened a portal. We have to fight demon ninjas 💀, and I was like kratos in god of war when he pulled the chains outta his arms and we were fighting. We got the 100 billion dollars but we had to leave cause somebody was coming after us. We took my ex home with us and I told her she could stay in my room. So I had to go outside to fight some more people and I was blowing shit up and after I went inside to check on her and make sure she was straight and she kinda made it seem like she wanted me to leave her alone, but at the same time she didn’t want me to leave cause she didn’t want me too far away. So I slept in your room and the next day we all went out for a drive on black ice and I got out and started sliding around. And the girl was driving and I was holding on to the side of the car and she would stop and I would go flying up the road. So y’all two got out and it was just my ex in the car and she was driving and I was trynna stay away from her, but no matter how I tried to stay away from her, but something kept pulling me towards her. And no matter how far I would go to try and get away from her, I would basically turn around and she would be right there. And it always seemed like she wanted me there but at the same time didn’t want me there cause her words kept contradicting her actions?? That last part of the dream was weird.
