Running from the cops

Last night I had the strangest dream, (not uncommon for me) so I thought I’d share.
I was in a department store with Veena, and suddenly Hitler was there. I knew that he had control over the country, so I thought I could do something about it. As I approached him from behind, I realised it wasn’t really him, just one of his men/soldiers. So I stabbed him in the back with a knife. I scared myself from this, and I didn’t really know what to do after I pulled out the knife. I thought I had to continue, for the sake of the country, so I stabbed him again, not as deep this time. He wasn’t dead, but I knew people would soon come after me, so I ran. I ran out into the parking lot, and got in Veena’s car. I drove away, while police began showing up. I got away, and was surprised that they didn’t stop me. I then found myself in the forest somewhere talking to some other guy. He told me that it would be best to turn myself in, as I wouldn’t get too long in jail (because I didn’t kill the guy). He said that he had stabbed someone too, and got off with only a few years. So, I went to a part of the woods where the police had set up their command station to look for me. I went up to the “chief” and said “I am the man you are looking for”. He said “okay, give me one second, I’m in the middle of things”. He then turned around and walked into a small tent. I waited there for a few minutes then left to get changed into more comfortable clothes at home. So at home, I kept thinking, “Oh shoot, I should have just waited there.”
And then it ended with me feeling anxious to get the whole thing over with.
What does this mean? Well nothing. My dreams usually fall into a few different formulas. This was the typical “everyone is after me, I have to run away from them, and hide”. Usually they’re more akin to the body snatchers storyline, so this one was a bit original.
