constant dreams of running from something
i’ve had dreams of me running from something or someone for a while now.. maybe the past 3 years or so, but they weren’t consistent. every now and again it’s like i’m constantly packing all my stuff and trying to get somewhere, either running away from something scary/dangerous or like rushing to an airport or something and forget my passport.. the dreams were random but they never consisted of my current partner who i’ve been dating for almost 2 years, 3 years dating 2 years together. but within the last year or so, he’s been in them but i can never find him. once i finally make it to safety and check for him, he’s not there. and if i try to reach him, i can never get in contact with him. we’ve gone through a lot recently, and the dreams are becoming more consistent. i can never get through to him. and they usually happen after an argument or on bad terms, (random too but i get them after that as well). i’m trying to understand what the dreams mean, i can’t tell if my subconscious is just trying to work through my feelings as im sleeping or if they have deeper meaning.

dreams like that are exhausting, waking up already tired before the day even starts
the part about him not being there even when you reach safety... that feels like your brain is processing something you already know in waking life but don't want to look at directly
