I dreamed that I was dating someone, but it was also trying to escape from them in a castle and not let them know that I was trying to escape, to let them think that they were coming with me. But they were chasing me like an enemy and I had to trick them. And there was other monsters in the castle that I was trying to escape. And I was repeating it twice from memory. And I had powers to jump and bounce acrobatically over obstacles. And the guy had really long arms that could reach across caverns and try to catch me with sticky arms. He trusted me at first that I was not trying to escape him but then he started to doubt me, as I was at the exit. We ran into friends who were just starting to explore the castle, and that's where he got confused. I had to keep the ruse up and escape him.
