Dream: Bodyguard

This dream reminds me of the Millenium Actress sequence where the girl goes from one film to another only by a simple transition. It was so all over the place so I'll try my best to remember.

------
I was being followed by a man. A man that, in my head, was like my imagination version of the Butler in Artemis Fowl books. Technically, he doesn't mean me any harm though I wasn't sure if he did or not. His look was intimidating that I didn't dare to stop and ask him why he was following me.

From what I can remember, he was already following me when I was in a place that looked like a school building. For some reason, I had papers or homework to do that my teacher was expecting me to submit so I was trying to avoid the man but at the same time trying to finish the questions. I had friends there that were questioning me why I was panicking and trying to look for places to hide. I couldn't explain to them because I felt like there wasn't enough time before the man caught up with me.

Somehow, as I was going through different doors and rooms, I stumbled across a room that looked like a boiler room or the mechanical room. The place was quite dark and I had a harder time to see my way through to find a new hiding place. I couldn't see the man, but I knew that he was still following me. There was an old man wearing the stained mechanics overall and he was trying to fix some leaking pipe.

Then, through another door, I was at an house district where the window was old structural looking with flower pots on the small balconies. Somewhere in my brain I felt that this guy was my bodyguard but somewhere in my heart, I was afraid of him. He was walking slow for a man that's chasing me around but that's because he was looking for me and carefully eying places that I would be.

I was far ahead of him and I saw a couple of women through the window as I walked down the housing district. They were a couple of old women. One was the house keeper and one was the richer person. And somehow I knew them and it felt like I was the princess that's been missing (similar to Anastasia story where the grandmother was looking for her). So I went through their window and hopefully be able to hide from the man.

The women didn't know about this man I was hiding from but I was still busy ducking down when there were windows because the whole house felt like a long apartment on its second floor. I heard the man's voice and he mentioned my name (though I can't remember what it was). I was sure that he was missing so I felt calmer and began to get ready to learn all about Russia from the old rich woman. (me being the lost princess Anastasia).

I was studying on how to pronounce some "Russian" words (not sure if it really was Russian) and there was a couple of books that teaches how to speak in several languages. Then the old woman brought me to another room that went down a flight of stairs and I had a vision that the man that was following me would be my teacher for self defense. I tried to tell the woman that he's the one that's been chasing me all this time but it was too late. The man was there and he was wearing a karate outfit and he started to chase me.

I ran through all these weird pathways that's really high up. I had to balance through ropes and other surfaces in order to run away from him but I couldn't get pass the rope way and that's when the man caught up with me. He was dressed differently and looked differently like he was on disguise to be the mentor of self defense for me. He talked about how to walk pass the rope.

Then he suddenly pretended to be bleeding using this small bottle that he used to squeeze red water out. I knew about that bottle so I tried to get it from him but he hid it in his shirt so I tried to get it still and he started laughing and I started laughing. He had a hairy chest... So then I started feeling that he's not a bad person after all and that I started to like him. He's like a dad that was just trying to protect me or something.

Out of nowhere, we were outside the house where there was trees alongside the pathways that we were following with a bicycle. I saw a couple of people and it seems like there was a distraught version of me that was just here but she came from one side of a tree, and my "new friends" were going to the other side of the tree so I followed them instead.

As we were riding bicycles together, I got news that the old woman that I used to stay with got really lonely and decided to drown herself. I was shocked that she killed herself and I got really sad. That's when I remembered that the "me" that I met earlier was distraught probably because of this news and apparently we circled the path and we were back to the tree where I saw myself earlier.

Suddenly, I couldn't find my bodyguard man yet I still felt really sad both from the old woman's death news and the fact that he was missing after I began to like him. I started looking for him now and it seemed like I went back to the different places I went through when I was escaping from him. What's weird is that I saw people on my way to search for him. When they asked me where I was going (since I was going moving backwards to where I started), I told them that I was looking for my bodyguard and if they've seen him. For some reason they acted weird and suspicious saying that he's possibly not behind that door I was going through, and the door itself was pretty heavy.

Noticing the suspicion, it motivated me to go through the door even more and I started to search for him more frantically. More people suddenly appeared and I went back to where the school-like area was and the people that I met along the way were there. I asked them where my bodyguard was and I got even more scared and sad. There were new people I never seen before and they were wearing suit / uniform.

One of the girls I was "close" with broke out the news that the bodyguard wasn't real. He was some sort of character that everyone was playing to make me believe that he exist. There was a company that was doing some sort of test on me and they were playing with my emotion. Some sort of psychology test.

I was really sad and I think I got mad and began to destroy things but I didn't remember.

And that was the end of my dream. I woke up feeling really sad. I began to like that bodyguard but he wasn't real.. That thought really made me sad..
