Dreams of being chased, especially by authoritarian figures, can show a fear of persecution or punishment. It can also represent guilt. Falling into water may represent a feeling of safety or comfort. Taken in these two parts, the dream could show a successful escape of some sort of minor trouble you may have gotten yourself into that day.
