Rhino Runs

I am at a restaurant which I do not recognise, there are many four-seat tables and white tablecloths with golden trim. Im having a dinner with my Mum, Dad and sister (missed a dreamsign - my parents are split up now) but cannot remember any of the conversation until we step outside.
Once we are outside I tell my dad that I'm not going to play hockey this year and he gets really upset (he wouldnt really do this, I think it may be because we have previously spent a lot of time together doing hockey things and he might see it as losing something we have to share)
I can't handle dad being so upset so I walk away with Mum while dad keeps talking to my sister. We walk around a long curving highway which is next to the sea and up quite high on a hillside. Eventually we come to a long gravel driveway which has a farm fence running along one side and a hiking track on the other. On the side of the farm fence there seems to be a river off in the distance (The dreamscape changed a little since we were next to the sea but the location doesnt feel any different).
Mum and I walk about 500m up the driveway and stop at a little grassy bank which is at the beginning of the hiking track, while we are stopped I look out towards the river and HOLY CRAP there are two black rhinos grazing in the field! Of course when I look at the rhinos they both look up at me and start charging, full pace, dust and dirt flying up behind them and clearly not about to stop for anyone. At this point I am seriously concerned and look around for Mum to see if she has seen them too but she has disappeared.
I turn back to face the rhinos, I feel like running is the worst possible idea so I just stand and stare at them until they are upon me. One comes straight on and the other a little from my left, anticipating both of their actions I jump far to the right and avoid both of them. as they hurtle past I make a run and manage to squeeze through a fence to safety. I slowly make my way back up the road (it is now the main street of my town) and find myself at my nanas house (its not actually in the city which I live - I missed SO many chances to become lucid in this dream) Once I am at Nanas, all my cousins are there and Paul is showing me some of his sketches, they are extremely detailed sketches of eyes, only one of them is in colour. I realise he is really drunk and then also notice my uncle is drunk too. after this the dream fades and I dont recall any more

Fragment

I recall something about a harry potter type scene, like being at hogwarts. strangely I dont remember any people being around though, I just had the "feeling" of the wizarding world.

Lama

After recently watching the film "the way back" I have a clear memory of the end part of the film where they meet monks in Tibet, probably the cause of this dream.
I am walking along a great wall of stone, high in the mountains. I am alone yet not scared or frightened at all, I can also feel the fresh air and see mist forming around me. After walking for a while I come to a wide section of the wall which spans out into a courtyard, lining the edges of the courtyard are doors which seem to lead into other sections of the path and other rooms. Some people begin to enter the courtyard and I recognise them as the people I work with at my bar on the weekends, they are all dressed in orange monks robes and remain silent. my manager seems to be a Lama type person and invites me to join him in meditation, I sit with him and close my eyes, the dream fades but not before I feel a great sense of peace. after this I wake up and try to re-enter the dream in a DEILD but dont remember anything of it after properly waking up.
