By this point I wonder what it is I'm trying to run from...myself?
Sorry if the paragraph is all badly written, I'm just about to rush out of the house.

In the dream I was in this big house, somewhat a cross between the last home I lived in and the one I am currently living in.
I am standing behind a line of young people, similar to my own age, outside the room that was once my family's office.
This not-particularly-attractive old woman (lol, who are you, baba yaga?) is bringing the people one by one into the office, putting them through some procedure or another and then they leave through another door. It was my turn, so she brings me into the office and is telling me I'm going to have to go through a birth simulation kind of thing, it will be painful, but I have to do it.
I don't want to do it and protest.
She's telling me I have to do it, and I'm starting to get all anxious and panicky, trying to back into a corner or out of the room.
She's like "look, you can even take your pills to stay calm" and I start screaming, loud shrieking and high pitched, and I'm dodging her and this other person, I believe it was a kind of creepy looking man,
I'm all over the room, dodging them and screaming at the top of my lungs, and then I manage to get the 2nd door to the room open and run out into the hallway, but the lady goes out the other door and I know the hallway loops around, so I go back into the room. The guy is still in there, so I go back out the door again, and run like hell until I get to this really dark bedroom with a window (a cross between my old bedroom and new bedroom). I realize it is my room, and begin to try and think of a way to escape.
I'm looking at the window wondering if I can fit through it and I see the rope I had kept in my collection of junk, on the floor.
The window is screened, so I pull the screen off and open the window. Tie the rope to a chair, triple knot it, and out the window I go, scale my way down a level to the ground outside.
I recognize that I am in my old neighborhood.
Ok, I'm running down the back alley now, in the rain at night, I reach the main road...no cars coming except a distant taxi, so I dart across the road and keep running, down past all the houses, past the little forested park...Maybe I could hide in there? No, not far enough, keep running.
Running past the highschool field, more houses, more forested patches, end up running onto the elementary school property...kids are out for recess, I am small enough that I can blend in! (but I keep running like a lunatic? lol) I see my younger brother, run the other way cause he can't know I'm here or "they" will find me and then I'm dead meat! Omg! It's the highschoolers, my old classmates, here to visit before their graduation, rush over that way and run into an old friend who I am no longer in contact with.
She sees me and I'm like "Oh hey, [L]! How's it going?"
She's grabs me and thumps my shoulder "Heyyyyy [Krystalfoxfire], that's no way to greet your old friend...What's up?"
"Don't tell my brother I'm here, don't tell anyone I'm here."
and then I go running off down the street again, until things start to get seriously trippy and I'm in the same location as another dream, with dragons and tons of neon colors and pink/purple/blue trees. (I have no idea what happened that would prompt dreaming neon dragons, maybe I was waking up at this point).

Now, one trend I can kind of see is that there was a lot of past locations in this dream, and a few that contain memory of emotional/mental problems (schools, I hated school). I'm doing so much running through these places, locations from the past, trying to find safety somewhere away from the danger (forced birth). The forced birth may very well represent the "new life", but reaching the new life will require effort and may be frightening and painful, even though I know once the "birthing" of the new life is finished I will be free to go. It has an almost spiritual connection. Having given birth to the new life, I will be free to leave the old life...but I have to put in the effort and bravery required to do so.
Sounds like a plausible interpretation in my head, anyway.

What do you read in this dream? Anyone?

Good interpretation. You would know better than anyone of what the dream is telling you. I get the sense that the old woman trying to force you through the new birth process is representative of authority figures in your life who have tried to steer you in directions you were not willing to go nor wanted to. Have you been pressured into going to college or do a particular job you didn't want but were pressured to do so from family, friends, or teachers?
