Nice topic btw. I've had this recurring dream once a year since I was a kid. It's pretty odd. So I'm in a Ninja Warrior type maze going through several obstacles running from what appears to be Genghis Khan warriors with him following them on a white horse. I always finish the maze unharmed even though they get close to capturing me every time. At the end of the maze a bubble surrounds me and lifts me high into the air and I'm laughing hysterically as I ascend out of reach of their bow and arrows. I've had this dream at least once a year since I was a kid.
I think I may have watched too many Kung Fu, Shaolin, and Bruce Lee movies as a kid.
