VividDreams

Greetings all, just thought I'd try out logging some information on my dream last night. It was quite vivid and seemed to be filled with people I've known over the years. I'm pretty sure it was a waking dream that took place shortly before I woke up and I seem to remember waking up then falling asleep again and resuming the dream.
The main theme of the dream was ascending stairs up the side of a sloped structure like a town built on a hill (this might relate to my time at university in Wales as the university was built on a hillside and the structures in the dreams seemed very similar with bars, shops and other buildings visible as I ascended the stairs).
I was among a large group of people all climbing these stairs not really knowing where they reached but there was a sense of everyone rushing to get to a club or bar. I remember everyone suddenly started running and I was asking them why they were rushing then there was a feeling of being overwhelmed as we passed through under a bridge and everyone seemed to bottleneck there & I thought I would be crushed.
The dream suddenly changed then and I was stood at a bar talking to an old friend from middle school (junior school for the Americans!) who I still occasionally see out from time to time. I also remember seeing another old friend come up from behind him. I can't recall what we spoke about but it seemed important & I remember his eyes being bluey green.
The dream then changed again to me being back on the stairs and I saw another person I've known on & off since childhood. This guy was always a character & although we were friends he was someone that could be a bully (not really towards me though) & my group of friends did used to ridicule him as his he wasn't the brightest but I was mostly OK with him having known him so long. Anyway he was rushing up the stairs also with me slightly behind him. He passed by a child and sort of hit him on his way past & I remember saying something about this along the lines of 'hey why are you hitting that kid!'.
It turned out this Kid was his younger brother and the youngster turned to me & I saw the resemblance then suddenly it was like I was surrounded by clones of the guy or other relatives that looked the same but they we distorted like monsters with big crooked teeth gurning at me right in my face! I also remember the kid turned on me and started trying to hit me which I didn't understand because I'd stuck up for him. It was about here that I woke up.
So I suppose it was a semi-nightmare really. I seem to be getting alot of dreams like this lately were there is some kind of peril either a flood (water is a huge recurring theme in my dreams) or people running from a catastrophe. I hope they aren't premonitions, I don't really believe in the whole 2012 conspiracy but with all these dreams I'm having it does make me wonder!
