"Definitely the Wrong Room"
Something about there being a witch in a house. There was a long hallway with doors all along each wall. For some reason, I kept having to redo this part of the dream. I kept getting stuck or drawn into crazy situations, while trying to find the right door. In one door, it just kind of dropped me out into the middle of the ocean, where I was flying above the water as a disembodied perspective. It was night out, but the moon lit everything up into a strong, light blue. I don't know if it was fog or what, but the water actually looked like the clouds, as if the boat was flying through the sky. It was a rough ride, though. The cloud/waves were massive, and the boat was being thrown this way and that - just short of capsizing. Suddenly, I was on the bow, getting thrown all across the deck, holding onto the railing of the ship and trying to keep from falling into the (what was now, clearly) water.
The last thing I remember is looking out over the water, and approaching an enormous whirlpool. We'd passed the point of no-return, and had begun to shift direction, drawn into the spiraling current and headed slowly closer and closer to the eye, upon each rotation.

"You can run..."
(This was the longest, most intense dream I've had in a good while. Had some melatonin before bed, and B6 earlier in the day.)
In the beginning of this dream, I was rivals with some other guy. We both had these badass, custom motorcycles, that had cockpit setups like Kaneda's bike in Akira. My bike was white and orange, with chrome components all over it.
(My notes say that, around here, I was told I was supposed to die, and somebody pulled a gun on me, but I don't really remember much of that situation.)
Next thing I knew, I was getting chased by this "secret" syndicate. I don't remember much about how I came to discover this group, or how they came to be chasing after me, but I was soon on the run. The first wave of henchmen was a group of ninjas. I'd been running through a mall, and they were slipping through the crowd of people, trying to keep pace. This guys were completely scrubs, though. I was able to fight them off with very little trouble - as long as I could keep it to one or two at a time - doing some pretty sick combinations of strikes and joint locks, periodically weaving about to dodge incoming shuriken. No matter what I did, though, they just kept coming. So I kept running. I would be running for the staircases, and every staircase I got to, there would be like 3 or 4 of the faction members there, standing at parade rest, forcing me to keep running and trying to find a way down.
Finally, I came to a spiral staircase, pushing my way past people and rushing down as fast as I could. By this point, I had picked up a gun from somewhere, but I knew that I was still too outnumbered to even try to keep them at bay with the gun. With every flight of stairs I ran down, I could feel them getting closer and closer, rushing down the stairs just a few feet behind me. At every level, there were giant windows that looked out over the yard outside the building. It was night out. I thought of trying to shoot through the glass and just jumping for it. But, even with it being dark outside, I could see that the ground was way too far away...so I kept running, gradually getting lower and lower. Finally, when I felt as if the entire clan was breathing right down my neck, I aimed at the next coming window and fired repeatedly. The window shattered just as I threw my body through it. Being at only the second story, I landed with very little difficulty, in the grass outside.
Then, it was day time, and I was driving down an abandoned road. I believe I was a cop or something, I don't know. For whatever reason, this syndicate was still after me. Everywhere I went, there they were. At one point, when I thought I was far enough ahead of them, I'd stopped at a roadside diner. They ended up just 'appearing', and chasing me out. I don't remember much of that, though, and I was soon back on the road. I had plenty more run-ins with these guys, but I don't remember very much of it. I do remember one instance, where I was running through a neighborhood. I had to climb a fence and, on the other side of the fence, the homeowner's apparently had a pet lion. (Random!) It jumped up and tried to swipe at me, but I couldn't go back the way I came. So, I started walking along the top rail of the fence, trying to keep my balance. Moving from backyard to backyard, it seemed that all the neighbors had identical pet lions, and they were all trying to get me as I scurrying along the fence like it was a balance beam.
My recall skips ahead, here, and I'm now was on a bus. I believed that I'd killed the last of the ninja, and now I was home free. All of a sudden, the person across the aisle from me flashed an evil grin from behind sunglasses. Without drawing too much attention to himself, he flashed a very large, silver pistol. I knew, immediately, that he was from the syndicate. I got up to rush myself off the bus, and he drew his gun on me. What he didn't know was that I had two Mac-11 sub-machine guns (from...somewhere? I'm guessing one of my previous battles). I drew on him, and we held each other at gunpoint. I started to slowly back myself toward the front and then another person, beside me, stood up and aimed a gun at me. I crossed my forearms and aimed one gun at this new guy, and the one in my right hand stayed trained on the first guy. Then, another person stood up, aiming a gun at me. The gun in my right hand never left the direction of the guy with the shades. He started talking something about how these were more elite members or something. They had gone from ninja to supernatural. These guys were more like agents, in that they could just kind of "manifest" from anyone standing around me. But, it would only be as a sort of brainwash, since they didn't transform into completely other people. They just sort of "took over" that person's body.
The man in the shades just stood there and watched me, smiling, while I tried to back myself off of the bus. As I moved down the aisle, I kept shifting the gun in my left hand all around the bus, looking frantically in all directions - but keeping the majority of my attention on the guy in the shades - not sure where the next "possessed" person would try to get the drop on me. Apparently, whenever these guys spawned, they automatically had guns in their hands. I just continued backing away slowly, aiming the gun at all the "innocent" bystanders around me. I glanced out the front window just long enough to see that the cops were showing up, as the bus had now pulled to the side of the road. There was a lead car, and the cavalry was close behind. I knew I didn't have much time.
I remember the explosive eruption of a short gunfight, right there in the bus, but it was over in an instant. I was soon running off of the bus and toward the lead cop car, just as he came to a stop in front of the bus. Coming around to the driver's side, I pretty much just opened the door and threw the cop out, GTA style. I was back on the road again. And, once again, my recall skipped ahead. I now had Todd with me. I'd told him about everything that was going on (it was reading his dream about a shadowy syndicate chasing after him, yesterday, which inspired this dream, I'm sure). We were driving down the road, and he was talking about something. Without warning, his dialogue turned toward me, and he took a gradually malicious tone. I could feel him staring at me. I could hear the arrogance in his voice. The challenge. Something was wrong. I glanced in his direction, and he just stared at me, grinning. Something was going to happen. I could feel it.
He made a quick grab for the inside of his coat and, as if by instinct, my right hand jumped off of the steering wheel and snapped toward him. Just as he began to pull an identical, long-barreled, chrome pistol from out of his jacket, my hand pushed down on his, keeping him from being able to draw it all the way. He kept trying, squirming in his seat and trying to get the long barrel out, but I kept pushing, trying my best to keep some of my attention on the road, as we were still doing like 70mph. I kept screaming at him, trying to snap him out of it, but he wasn't listening. He is my best friend in the world, and I knew that this was going to end badly. It was either going to be him or me. I just could not let him get that gun up in my direction. I was able to notice that I had my seat belt on, and he didn't. We were coming up to a tight turn. I knew what I had to do.
I jerked the wheel and slammed the car into the rail. I don't necessarily remember it flipping, but when it came to a rest, it was upside down. Todd had been ejected from the car, and I had to crawl out of the window. I staggered away from the wreckage and looked back and the battered body of my best friend. I couldn't believe what had just happened..but I was completely unprepared for what happened next. His arm - broken at the elbow, raised into the air. He gave it a swift shake, and I could literally hear the bone snap back into place - the arm now standing out straight. He was regenerating himself. The arm came down, and he raised himself up into push-up position, staring at me as if he were the Terminator, itself. Opting not to stick around until he was fully healed, I took off running down the empty road. I don't think I looked back, once.
That's all I remember.
