Again, With These Hordes!, Why is it always hordes!?? Options

A long while ago, I did a post on dreams where I was facing off against hordes of some sort of foe or another.

Ever since, at least once a month, I have had a dream of the same theme. The enemies were different, but the feeling was the same.

First, it was Cops/Guards. Then, it was Nazis. Then, it was Zombies. Then, it was Demons. Just last night, it was a battalion of Starcraft Firebats all trudging to me, announcing that they mean to capture me.

A typical psychiatrist would ask, "Well? Why don't you surrender?" Because the compulsion to fight, and the feeling of danger was too great.

What do these dreams mean? Sometimes, I am sought to be killed. Others, captured. Always, I am the hunted, being pursued by a group force of some sort.

Insight, please. Serious insight. I've gotten lots of heckles of, "Lay off the video games!" but after a while, the joke gets old, and the question remains unanswered.

Please, help me with some input.

ADDED NOTE: I am always fighting back. Always swinging, or shooting back at my pursuers. I am always backing up, evading, countering.... but they keep coming!!

Financial aid is a no-go due to bureaucratic BS of me being 23, therefore still dependent on my parent's tax status (unless I completely live alone, am married, have kids, or fit the socio-economic profile of the rock-bottom) until I am 24. But, whatever happened to, "You are 18, therefore an adult in the eyes of the law?" Too many inconsistencies. Hence, I pay out-of-pocket. I have no job, I am a full-time student. The grants are enough only to get books. Even then, there are flaming hoops and strings attached. It's all BS.

I don't plan on fretting on the failure.

In fact, after some retrospection, I noticed that "Horde" themed dreams happen whenever I skip an assignment. I guess I come down on myself VERY hard.
