I had a recurring dream for years as a child that sounds silly now, but was actually terrifying at the time.

I was being chased through downtown Portland, ME by.....Grape Ape (yes, the Hannah Barbarra cartoon). My parents were on opposite ends of the city and I was running to find them to 'save me' from the ape. I would run up to my mother and she would say "I'm too busy..go find your father". I would run run run across the city and find my father and he would say "I'm too busy..go find your mother" and so on until eventually I would end up in a public toilet, cowering in a stall..I look up and over the top of the door peering down at me is Grape Ape..as he reached for me I would wake up.

This started around the time my parents were separating so there's no real challenge in finding the meaning of that one.
