Dream Issues Options

Hey.
I'm not very skilled at remembering small details of my dreams, mainly because there are bigger issues that I notice and try to evaluate so forgive me for not offering much information.
I had a dream last night which was similar to a previous dream which left me feeling uncomfortable and basically wanted to ask if anyone has had a similar experience and what you make of it.
I will start with the main issue and present the similarities as I go. In my first dream, which was about 2 months ago, I was running from these random people and it was a dark setting, I was running along a typical main road( like a smaller motorway) but there were no cars..... not that I looked to see if they were there I just remember not seeing any. There was a moment when I was running down a spiral staircase which belonged to some ghetto flats and as I was going I became..... extremely slow, I was pulling on the staircase rail to aid me down the stairs, even when I would jump the last few steps to hasten myself it had no effect and I was litterally pulling myself against this unseen force which was like some kind of glue. This is my main issue, the feeling of running as though I was in water or like a website said 'quicksand'.
The dream I had last night was similar in that I was running away from people again, only this time it wasn't random people, it was the police. And this time I remember seeing my friends in the dream who was also running from the police as though we'd done something. Once again, as I was attempting to leap over something, I believe it was a fence which had some bush growing on it, I became incapable of moving faster than a slug as all the other people were perfectly fine, and catching up with me. I managed to pull myself over the fence and tried hiding within the bush which was growing up the fence but as I was, one of the officers leaped over and landed right infront of me and looked straight at me. I remember seeing his face but unfortunatley don't remember if he was someone I actually knew but it was kind of unsettling, because for one, he was chasing me and I have no clue as to why and secondly becuase it was one of the most personal moments of a dream I have had for a while, mainly due to the fact that he was there for me and we were practically face to face, he went to grab me and then I remember I'm running again, with a little more ease at this point, then I woke.
Can I just add that in the first dream, when I was running down the stairs or trying to run should I say, There was this african woman at the bottom just standing there, and then I noticed my exit point was no good becuase there was this metal gate which was locked......I was able to put my arms through the gate because it was like a railing but I could not fit through it and thats when I woke. The black woman became irrelevant to me when I noticed the gate. Also I felt a strong sense of lonliness in the first dream which was not a factor in the second dream.
Anyway, to finish up, my main issue is with this stiffness stuff. Whats it all about.
Peace
AL.

OK last night I had what must have been the worst dream in my living memory, I don't want to bore you with details but I don't want to leave anything out that could be needed. Already the dream is trying to escape me, so lets go.
From what I can discern it starts with me going into the bookies(betting shop) with a friend who wins some money and gives me a small amount to try my luck, so now i'm gambling on the machine and doing well, i'm winning..... not sure how much but know i'm winning, anyway this next guy who I know comes to me.... in reality he is a big guy and feared buy some because he was ruthless -smashing toes when they wouldn't pay up for drugs - but in the dream he had a more menacing build, wider, but I didn't fear him he's my friend. We both went to the shop to get something like a drink I think, I remember it was dark, the whole dream is quite dark. We go into the shop and it looks like your typical kurdish offlicence and when we were approaching the fridge area a female emloyee who was hold this white box was standing in the isle, I proceeded to walk past but my friend took ahold of the box and the both of them were playing tug of war with eachother for what seemed like seconds when finally the box broke and all of a sudden my friend just whacked this woman straignt in the side of the head with his fist knocking her against a fridge door, its seemed so random and very violent, so unnecessary was it to me that I asked him, "why, why did you do that", we both knew the police were coming so we're looking to bolt. Next i'm outside on familiar terrian, though I know this road has no offlicence but I just go with it, not even looking back to see the shop, I start to run. Ah once again this seems all to familiar, I can't run somethings holding me back, through sheer determination or will the only way of beating this rigidness is flying.... it feels so great, i'm untouchable, i'm moving fast but it's hard to control and its like I fall back into the stiffness where i'm fighting to move one foot infront of the other and fighting to fly again just to get out of there, I can feel the fear. I don't know how but then i'm at the guys house, or should I say room, its one room which reaches round giving the impression of two rooms. We're just jamming there and an older-good friend of mine appears there, and we all set off for bed, all in the same room. This bit is for me where it gets too much, almost like a dream within a dream which upon my awakening into reality makes me question if its real and the fear remains for a minute or so.
Its dark and we're in our beds "sleeping" and then the menacing guy is standing over me, all I see at first is just a silhouette but I know its him and then he bends over and reveals his face which just looks emotionless almost as though he does't even know what he's doing..... I think I intuit this mostly(in the dream) because then I make the 'conscious' decision to try reasoning with him all the while thinking to myself, get the f%*! out of there this guys going to kill you. I remember forcing myself to just lay as though safe so not to give the impression I was feeling threatened. I knew I could sway him, I just had to remain vigilant and it payed off, within a click of the fingers he's back in his bed, I remember it so much, I looked over at him and saw his face- he was sound asleep as though he never got out of bed, I thought f%*! this and slowly and quitely proceed to put my socks on.... something cause him to wake.... even my good friend and i'm still trying to get dressed, i notice something very unusual....theres this white pipe sticking through the front door, the exit, there was some numbers written on the side of it and a small bit of blood which was worrying, especially when my good friend came round the corner with evil intent in his eyes, an evil smile and blood on the side of his face. The two of them now wanted to kill, I don't know why, I just knew to get dressed quick and get out, basically I got out of the room and was in this corrider of what seemed to be a hosptial, and I guessed it was an asylum, there were random people plotted about and I proceeded past the to this 'main desk' which was busy and directly behind I saw the staircase which I took as the way out, next I was outside and it was a place that i'd never been to before but it felt like it was in the city, I tied to run but again I could hardly put one foot in fron of the other, I turned back and see the two of them looking out of what appeared to be a car park window, they let of this terrifying laughter as though to say, we're coming.... i'm in terror trying to run and I see infront of me stairs going up to this possible airport desk but it could have been a train but I knew it was transport out of there. As i'm fighting to go, i may have called out for help because all of a sudden about 3-4 people who all looked familiar took my arms and was pulling me towards the lobby, I feel confused but safer, I just want to get out of there. One or two of them get either hurt or killed trying to help and the next thing I know i'm at the looby then I awake, but the fear that they were coming for me remained for a minute or so.
I never want that dream again, it never seemed to end, and I couldn't make out anything other than fear. What the hell was the white pipe sticking through the door and what was the numbers on it about, I may never know. What was the whole dream about, i'm hoping someone can help me with that, what I do know is I never want that dream again.
Thanks for reading this far, I appreciate it.
Peace
