I had an intricate dream that played out like a video game where I had to get Harvey away from the authorities, because everywhere he goes everyone thought he was up to no good. But he literally did nothing wrong. So, each "level" we had to keep whoever was trying to catch him from getting their hands on him. But discreetly. We couldn't let anybody know that we were actually associated with him or at least trying to "protect him" or else that would raise suspicion and give them reason to take him in.

I drew sequences at the mall because I remember that the most. The second sequence was at a state park where park rangers were trying to locate him at a park/nature walk. We meet a little girl scout/wing scout gal who likes Harvey and I tell her what's going on and that the park rangers want to arrest him for no reason. So she does her best away from us to keep the park rangers away from getting near Harvey as he tries to enjoy some nature.

The dream plays out as I keep directing Harvey closer to the other side of the park while this girl scout causes mischief to attract attention. But the police soon get involved and they get drones. So we get an aerial view but we also get radio feedback on where the drone is searching.

I kept waking up in this segment but the resolution involves mind games with a rented vehicle where the bird girl and the drones are focused on one car that is believed to be rented out by Harvey. They stop him at the exit I was trying to get Harvey through and turns out it's not the right car. The level ends with Harvey driving through a different exit where there are enough park rangers or police because they all focused on the wrong car.

The twist is Harvey knows the authorities are after him, he told me at the end of the level "I'm used to being hunted down," and "The trick is to act oblivious and know that you are guilty of nothing. Because if you doubt your innocence then you start acting like you did something wrong. And that's when they get you."

He knew we were helping him all along, he just lets us do our thing because him feigning ignorance is his "innocence." What a guy.

And the name I came up with for the dream game was "He's a Good Man."
