Hiding In the Woods With a Diseased Body

My dream started out with me driving down 256 to Weyers Cave, and it was getting ready to storm out. There was a bit of lightning, and the clouds were fairly dark, but there was no rain yet. Just wind.

I wound up going back to Grandmamma's house, and I was heading down towards the dairy barn, and I met up with someone that reminded me a lot of Philip from Mercedes. It wasn't actually him, though, but just someone who was thin with lots of curly hair, and a little shorter and younger than me. It turned out that this guy had some sort of nerve disorder, like Parkinson's or Multiple Sclerosis or something. We are walking along, and we're out in some bright and sunny wooded area. While we're walking around, I somehow figure out that I have the same disease that he has, although I didn't feel any different, and neither one of us seem hindered in our movement at all.

We were walking down towards this gully/valley sort of area that was shaded pretty well for the few trees that it had in it. He was telling me where he hides when "they start coming after him". I don't know who "they" are, or why they would come after him, but I got the idea it was a cross between a group of bullies and a group of some sort of agents. I don't think he actually showed me where he hid, but he told me, and I knew how to get there from that.

I'm not sure what happened next, but suddenly he's nowhere to be found, and this group is now coming after me. I know that he is hiding in his secret spot, and I decide not to go there because then I'll draw them to him, and that would be bad. I think I just finally outran these guys long enough that they gave up for the time being. He came out, and I told him why I didn't go and hide there with him. He thanked me, and then he told me that he had a second place to hide, and that I could use that one. I said okay, and he told me it was through a cave in the shadows.

We go a short ways up this hill, and about halfway up, there is this big shady area with lots of growth, kind of like several bushes all together. He crawls through them, and I follow him, and he goes into this little tunnel/cave that's about two feet high. It's just big enough to crawl through on your stomach, and it's about ten or so feet long.

As he starts going in, I see him going through and knocking all these spider webs and spiders out of the way. I think he may have crushed a few, too, while he was going through, but on the other end of this cave was supposed to be a big open area kind of like a grotto of some sort, that was just as beautiful and peaceful as the area he was hiding in before, but the dream ended before I could make myself go through all those spiders and webs.
