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 there has to be something with my cat leaping from high places because last night it happened in another dream only this one was worse!
I don't know if anyone will read this but I have to write it because it was quite an intense and realistic dream.
There was alot invovled, but i'll stick to the best parts.....
The dream must've been on a festive day, I believe it could've been Easter I was walking past a petrol station where I had earlier brought aload of chocolates(I'm 75% sure some were egg shape)... its dark at this point but the petrol station has its own light source. Anyway I notice as me and my friend are walking past a blue carrier bag on the floor in the station and I remember its my bag of chocs I must have left behind so I goes over to get them, on my way... either in a car or walking a group of black guys around the same age as me turn up and one notice me heading towards the blue bag and takes an interest, believing something of worth to be in the bag or something dangerous because as I bent down to pick up the bag the guy whips out his gun and pulls off a shot which hits me... I remember it feeling so real, the sudden gun blast, the stunned jolt from myself as i get hit and this rapid burning sensation that just felt wrong. In all the drama God knows what happened to my friend, he wasn't in the dream for a while after that. I remember next being in the petrol station and trying to get help and telling someone i'd been shot, looking down to show them there was a bloody spot on my shirt in the lower right side but the person Iooking could see the real wound and lifted my shirt to reveal a bullet wound in my chest, now I begin to worry. It all gets abit hazy at this point but I remember some kind or government service turns up, one looked rather different as though they just came or were on their way to a party, because he had mauve face paint and mauve spikey hair. At one point I was instructed to hide under two wooden stalls/chairs for what reason I have know idea. Anyway.
By now i'm making my way home wondering whats the reaction going to be when I turn up, thinking to myself 'I can't go in there like this'. As most times, theres aload of people at the bottom of my block of flats just hanging around, they don't trouble me or anything and I make my way up the stairs. As I open my front door i'm met by my cat Winston who is standing on his back legs with his front two waving claws as to keep me out, it suprised me, then he walks past me coming out on to the balcony and walks to the gap that runs along the bottom of the barrier, turns his head to look at me for a split second then just throws himself over to my absolute shock, funny thing is though that my cat is all black save for about 5-6 small hairs on his front and when he leaped he became all white and I looked over the balcony and saw him falling and saw him land.... on his back.... and my heart was torn with emotion.... but then i notice he begins to move slightly. All I remember saying is "what the f**k is this. what the f**k is this" and i look to the stairs to run down them and my friend was coming up them and he saw me upset and still wounded and had a look as though 'what now'..... last thing I remember from the dream is running down the stairs thinking this is just to much, i can't take it and I wake up.
Maybe I died on the stairs? I must have been losing blood. The dream just ended and I woke up and had to check my chest straight away and get to grips with my surroundings. If i knew i would have this same dream tonight, I wouldn't go to bed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)
If you read this far, wow, you're awesome. And if you could shed some light on any of this dream most importantly for me I guess would be the cat leaping to its death part that would be even awesomer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)
