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.

Behold, another dream I had which I feel I must understand, atleast in part.
I don't want to make this an online dream journal or anything but i've never had a dream like this, it really felt when I woke that it had significance and the interp sites lack in variety.
I'll jump straight in and I'm going to skip aload from the beginning because its somewhat vague and precarious.
Basically, i'm in my home where i've just arrived from a shopping center where I was with a friend, for some reason(I knew why in the dream) I have to get home and end up leaving the friend behind as I jump on a bus and he's still making his way out the shopping center. I get home, i'm in the kitchen making a coffee and out of nowhere my friend who I left behind appears in the doorway of the kitchen quite calmly and with a pleasant smile.... i'm taken back at the speed, how did he get here so soon. I straight up, hand on heart ask him and I qoute "Are you a demon" his smile grows with a look of bafflement and replies assuredly "No". We work our way into the main room where my Mum is, with approx 3 random people chatting away. In reality we very very rarely have people over. Me and my friend start playing console(which I don't have) and I decide to go upstairs... keep in mind that I live in a block on a housing estate, 2 floors up from ground level..... when I get upstairs I notice my cat(which is all black, both in reality and the dream), he's in my mums room(nothing new) and he's right at the window, practically looking out down onto the balcony below where some random people from the main room I guess had decide to gather, there talking must have got the attention of my cat. I go over to him and tug at his body to bring him in but he's adamant and ends up leaping out of the window...aiming toward the balcony just below but his paws push away from the wall below the window as he leaps and he misses the balcony and before my eyes and in horror I watch as he falls towards the grass at the bottom, outside. I see him land, quite well too might I add, I capture a mental image of his position and tear down the stairs of my house full pelt, shout to my mum and anyone else who cares to hear that the cats outside. I leave the premises and I'm outside running round the block to the grass behind the building only to find no cat, i'm looking desperately around thinking all the while "he couldn't of got far, where is he". furthering the perimeter, i'm at what seems like -and i'm presuming- an outdoor cafeteria, people are doing there thing, some sitting, some walking, nothing special....but no cat. I make my way somewhere else which is when i'm at what seems like a theater. There are many seats, its kind of dark and there are many people, the set up from all that I saw of it was like a semi-circle and i'm facing them so whatever they were there to see was situated behind me. I'm just looking for my cat, thats all I have in mind. I see my mum sitting in one of the seats in the front row and i go to her saying something along the lines "I can't find Winston" and I drop my head in sadness which is when I notice something under my mum's chair and its my cat Winston. I feel such great overwhelming joy for but a moment, I reach down and grab him straight away and hold him to my chest, arms wrapped round him. As I made abit of a ruckus in all the commotion people are taking interest and as I make my way up the theater steps to leave i'm telling certain people who are being inquisitive that its just my cat jumped out the window and I take him home which is when I wake up.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
