Recurring female in many different dreams
Alright, so I've been having these dreams and this is likely to end up being a long post, but I'm hoping someone can help me with them.
I've had a series of dreams in the past that started possibly about five years ago and occasionally still occur to this day. Every dream is different, none with even so much as a same location that I recall. So here I will put the basic parts of the dream that really stand out that I can still remember.
Dream 1: This one came when I was quite young, around 13-14 I would guess. I was standing in the front part of a lake (which was a lake that is in my town, but was not extremely deep, only about 10 feet at best, like a swimming pool almost) and there was a girl running across the lake on the water. The girl ran all the way across, I attempted to follow, and fell through close to the end (I had walked on the water for most of the distance until the end). I was drowning, the girl pulled me up. Then it was as though her pulling me up changed the scene and we were standing on the porch of a house on the beach, watching as a wave just came and washed the dream away (Literally, it didn't crash, it just came and as soon as it would have crashed against the building, I just woke up). After this dream, I felt as though I would die if I could not see the girl again and I felt a sense of desperation that lead me to attempting to have the dream again by just focusing on it before I slept, but I could not.
Dream 2: This one I don't recall when it happened, but it was about 1-2 years after the first one. It was raining, and I was in a city. The city looked mostly normal, with roads stretching all around and a few buildings, but there were metal stairs that connected the different sides of the roads. Water was building up everywhere and I entered a building that appeared to be a bar. Some people I recognized from my school were there (Mainly people in my grade, who mostly were the ones that I considered my friends. There seemed to be a few more people than I recognized though as I could only see the faces of a few), but the girl was also present. She went into a back room, which I followed her to, that lead to a dark room where she was dancing (Nothing improper or anything, just dancing normally on her own, with nobody else in the room. She seemed upset as though she were being forced to and as though it was something bad however). It didn't last long and the next part of the dream I walked as though I were going to exit the bar and she was standing at the door when her mouth seemed to say 'bye', but there was no sound. This promptly ended the dream.
Dream 3: This is the craziest dream and I just about lost my mind trying both to forget it and not forget it. It happened my senior year of high school. I was in a theater, some friends I knew from my school were there (Mostly the same ones from the previous dream, but again like before there were some who's faces I could not see), and yet again the girl was there. An attendant came to check to make sure everyone had paid for the movie, but because I could not find mine I was forced to leave. After I left, I found the ticket and wanted to re-enter, but was denied. The movie theater was a lot larger when I turned around to look back inside and I stood outside the doors watching the movie screen. The next thing I recall I was on a sports field that seemed to have a running track on the outside, a football field inside the track, and large stadium lights that seemed to be placed in random locations. The people from the theater were running to a well and tossing something in, and as I moved towards it I felt my legs moving slower and slower. Water was appearing on the ground as though it was raining and I tried to move faster, the stadium lights turning off one by one as I got closer. When I got close to the well like structure, one of the darkened stadium lights turned back on, and one that was on turned off. I tossed something that I could not see in the dream into the well and turned to run away. As I did so, the water had come to about waist high, but wasn't making my clothes wet. The stadium lights were now randomly turning on and off at about five second intervals (Not sure of exact timing, it was just slower than a flicker, but faster than a minute). Eventually I got farther away from the well and it was as though I fell into the water, because the next thing I knew I was swimming downwards, following... believe it or not... the girl, who was flashing between her and a whale (Almost as though two scenes were overlapping, one with the girl and one with the whale... if that can be imagined. It was like double vision, with one being the girl and the other being the whale) and we were swimming downwards between these large and tall pillars that went from the top of the water down to nothing. I eventually lost track of the girl/whale, and as though I had been washed ashore, I was on a beach. Everyone from the theater was standing on the beach and there was a large cliff behind us, with a large tidal wave coming. It was at this time that the tidal wave came rushing forward in a single stream towards the girl. I jumped in front, I'm assuming to protect her, and a form of the whale appeared in a long serpent like form and created a light blue shield like barrier that was transparent. It did not stop the stream though, and the stream broke through the barrier hitting me. The next part was someone rushing to me sticking a needle into my leg saying something about either a poison or something. I don't recall what happened next, but I got up and walked to a car that was nearby. Upon entering, I was shot in the head by someone who then completely disappeared, and I got out of the car and walked into a strange place (Yes, after being shot in the head, I was not bleeding, I was still alive). I walked back almost like I was going to where the cliff was and the place I had been hit with the water stream, but this time instead of a cliff, the ground turned from sand to tile floor, and there was a desk with a computer. Some people who were in black suits wanted me to get into the girls computer for some reason. I did so, saw that there were some... inappropriate things on there as well as something else I couldn't see, and I removed the entire hard drive from the computer. At this point I glanced at the computer screen and saw... something. The dream ended here. I wrote down somewhere exactly the letters that I saw, and it appears to be the first half of a word, but I have lost the paper at the moment and am still searching for it.
An odd thing about this dream, is that no matter how hard I try, three things change with the dream even if I try to force myself to remember one dream. On one side, the girl is swimming down with the pillars in the water, while at the same time a whale is swimming down, and I can see them both as two separate images in the same dream. The other thing that changes is that in this dream, the girl is bearing a similarity to a girl that I had a crush on for all four years of high school, but it was still the exact same girl from all the other dreams.
Another part of this dream is a part where I am at my great grandmother's house (She passed away some years ago) and there is a white gazebo with everyone from the theater (Again with some who's faces I could not see) all siting around, but one girl (Who I recognized as one of my classmates, who I never really thought about as anything other than a classmate. I didn't have any classes with her and hardly ever saw her except for in the halls or when the school had to meet in the auditorium for something) was dressed all in white and had a light that was coming off her, but it wasn't blinding. At this point, the girl from the dreams was -not- present, which leads me to believe that this part of the dream may not have anything to do with the 'series' or that it may have been a different dream that I was remember as being in the middle of this one.
There have been other dreams with the girl, however these three are the most vivid, the longest lasting, and the ones I remember whether I want to or not.
The other thing is that in most of these dreams I don't see the girls face, only the rest of her body (As though she were looking away or as though I was just not able to see her face from the angles).
Note: The other thing that is extremely creepy is that upon talking about, writing about, or even thinking about these dreams... I become extremely exhausted and yet also have an extremely intense desire to relive the dream.

tl;dr
This girl could be your dream guide? Next time you're in a dream with her, ask her her reason for being there or something along those lines. If you've never seen her before, I can't really think of any other explanations..

Jung at heart
She sounds like your "anima", which in Jungian theory is a recurring dream character. Plenty of info on the web (just google "anima" or better still "anima Jung" to get the idea).
FWIW I have similar experiences to you.
