What Can This Dream Possibly Mean?

Really, I want an answer on this one, cos I'm clueless. Before I regale you with it, I will say that it is a repeat offender to my subconscious and I haven't played either of the games mentioned for years.

So, the setting has a 'Red Alert'/'GTA 2' appearance - dubious graphics and a top down viewpoint. I'm escorting someone through the streets of a city, when suddenly they are attacked. I step up and do my job, defence, and drive the attackers away. Then the cops come after me. The person I'm escorting does a runner and I'm on my own. I scarper. Through some dodgy looking alleyways, I escape the fuzz. Then the 'Red Alert' aspect comes in. I'm now getting pursued by tanks. And it's not even the Commies, it's the damn Allies! I head for the sea and dive in, foolishly thinking I'm safe. Suddenly the water is full of Allied Cruisers and they're shooting away. I swim like a boy being chased by sharky sharky, and it's going well. I get to this huge wall, find stairs and get to the other side where it looks like open ocean, no sign of pursuit. But no! What can only be described as a garbage scow is heading straight for me. It's absurdly fast and agile and despite my best efforts, it rams me into the wall, splat. Claret everywhere, and I'm dead. Game over.

WTF?!
