What dreams have come

I dreamt last night that I was being relentlessly pursued by the government. I don’t remember exactly what I did to tick them off, but they hunted me everywhere. Then I stopped at some friend’s house and left my gun in the car, and somebody stole it! (The gun, but not the car, interestingly enough.) I recall making furtive glances out the window, seeing police cruisers slowly driving down the street outside (should have parked the car inside a garage!), and running from shadow to shadow to avoid detection. I never got away, but neither did I get caught, for a squealing Hans ended the dream prematurely. Strange!
I suppose it probably comes from watching Half-Life 2 bink videos before bedtime. There weren’t any crowbars in the dream, though.
