Recurring

I've had the same dream twice now. Which is odd, cuz I rarely remember my dreams. I am imprisoned in a world ruled by marshall law. I don't remember what I did to be imprisoned, but I have an uncanny ability to escape. The majority of these dreams consist of breaking out of this imprisonment and then avoiding recapture. Both times I have escaped I haven't worn shoes, and I remember running through a parking lot with layered hills while alarms sound around me as they realize I've broken out. The first escape I had nothing with me. It was daytime in the middle of a rural area and I can vividly remember barely avoiding officials as they patrolled the dirt roads looking for me. I found a path through a thick tuft of trees that seemed to lead to a fenced area. I walked through the gate and was met by a man driving a blue VW bus. (Similar to the one they find on LOST). He told me I was running late, I needed to hurry to get into the car and he would take me to a safe place. As I got into the car and we started driving to safety I awoke without aid from the alarm.
The second escape happened just this morning. Right before my escape I was visited by family (I think it was family) who brought me some necessary things (don't remember what they all were, but one was my iPod). Shortly after the visit I escaped. This time I ran down the hills of the parking lot in the dark so I knew it would be harder. I found the same thicket of trees with the same gate and walked through it. There was no car. I had "missed the bus" so I was on my own. I wandered through the woods periodically avoiding contact with the patrolling officers and guards trying to find me again. I found a trailer perched upon a large pile of HUGE tractor tires; which I climbed to see what was inside. As I approached a window I heard voices inside and knew it wasn't safe to be seen or heard. So I hurried to the edge of the tire pile and jumped. Suddenly I was aware that my large white skate shoes (not sure when I started wearing those, maybe I got them when I got my iPod, but if that were the case why didn't I wear them running away from the prison?) were going to make my presence known the moment I touched the ground. I muffled the sound with a graceful landing and sprinted off. I began running away from where i had come knowing I needed to run to stay free. I then awoke, again, without the sound of an alarm. A few things I remember thinking during my dream: "I'm not in good enough shape to be able to keep run this much," and: "I wish I had my laptop. At least i have my iPod but how long will it's battery last?"

What does it all mean?
