I saw a post in the community forums for a webcomic I've been reading (El Goonish Shive) that was written by a man who claimed to have been a teacher in the school where I went for my first year. At first I didn't think he was every my teacher but then he mentioned that he remembers one student, a girl who must be about 24 at this time and whose name (Marianna) was the name of somebody from that school who recently found me on facebook. That made me think he might have been my mathematics teacher from that time, so I replied to him saying that I might have been his student.
Then the dream changed and the three of us (that teacher, the girl/woman he mentioned and myself) were sitting in my living room discussing something. He was sitting in a chair while the classmate and I were sitting on the floor facing him. He told us to pay close attention to what he was saying and at first I did but my attention was eventually drawn to a lot of shouting from the street. When he noticed I wasn't listening to him he realised there was shouting as well so he went to look out the balcony door and we followed.
Down in the street there was what seemed to be a riot, except that the people in it weren't angry about anything but celebrating instead. The shouts were shouts of happiness and they were also blowing horns and waving colourful flags. I wondered aloud what they might be celebrating about and the teacher said it must be because the lorry drivers' strike had just ended.
Additional Comments:
The bits about the forum where I'm posting and the old classmate who found me on facebook are true, except that her name in the dream isn't her real one. However no teacher from any school I've gone to has posted in that forum (as far as I know) and in fact there's only one teacher for each class in primary school so he couldn't have been my mathematics teacher anyway.
Also, the part of my house's living room where we were sitting isn't a place where people usually sit. The way we were sitting reminded me of one time in a 5-day trip my school went to when I was 17, in which our physics teacher sometimes sat in the hotel's corridor discussing several stuff with some of us. (Of course the classmate in the dream isn't from that school).
The lorry drivers are indeed on a strike and this has caused many problems in the country but it hasn't ended nor affected me personally much yet. I doubt there will be rejoicing like that when it ends, too.

I was in a building and entered the lift, choosing to go to the 3rd floor. I think someone had told me that's where I needed to go.
After exiting the lift I was in water, apparently the depths of the ocean, in a diving suit. Somehow I knew where to go, so I found something that looked like a chimney among the sand, liftet a lid in it (water didn't get in for some reason) and climbed down.
I ended up in a house full of people and it seems that the "chimney" was the intended and hidden entrance. They were surprised to see someone entering from there but I knew they would have been before I entered. I explained to them I wasn't an enemy and they accepted me.
It seems that I had travelled far into the future, possibly hundreds of years. The people in the house were of different species. They told me that many years ago an alien species had attacked Earth and enslaved most of humanity. Somehow most of the planet (at least much more than in reality) had been covered in water. Other aliens had come to our help but they failed and now most of these species were slaves to the "evil" one as well. The house I was in was a hidden shelter where some people from all the benevolent species were trying to lead lives as normal as they could.
One of the people in the house belonged to some kind of species that were all tentacles, two of which had eyes on their tips and were all green. I don't remember what the others looked like but there were humans among them and there was also someone who looked like a young girl (maybe 10-12 years old) with long black hair but I "scanned" her with some kind of device I had and it showed that she wasn't human although her species had the exact same appearance as humans. Also that in fact she was much older (perhaps even older than me) but her species could simply choose to stop aging for as long as they wanted to and she had chosen to stay that age for now.
I stayed with them for a few days and at some point they sent me out for a mission. Somehow during that mission (I don't remember) I ended up back in my own time.
Later I went to the same building that lift was in and was told by the concierge that this time I had to go to the 4th floor. I pressed the button for the lift and waited for it to come down (it was apparently very slow).
I went to a nearby panel on the wall which had some kind of pipes in it. There was a small ball somewhere there and I started trying to get it out while I waited. Then I noticed that a friend's sister had just come in the building. She asked the concierge what floor the hair salon was at and went to wait by the lift. I thought I should say hello but I didn't go right away because I wanted to get that ball out of the pipe first.
By the time I was done the lift had arrived, so I went in it at the same time as my friend's sister. Somehow she didn't notice me and for some reason I knew I couldn't get her attention anyway so I said nothing. She stepped off the lift before the 4th floor.
I knew that by going to the 4th floor I'd go back to the future, one year after the time I was there last. The lift suddenly started moving sideways until it stopped and then spun around so that its door would face the entrance. I pushed the door open and ended up in that hidden shelter I was in last time.
A man who had been there before was the first to see me and recognised me. I knew that most of the people there were mad at me for abandoning them last year, but I explained that I had somehow time-travelled back, and that for me it hadn't been more than two hours since I last saw them. They understood and accepted me there again.
Additional Comments:
The most interesting thing I have to note about this dream was this sense of "I've seen this story before; I know what will happen". This is usually the kind of insight my "Director self" has, but this time the "Actor self" had some of the same knowledge, which hasn't happened before as well as I remember.
Another thing to note is the idea of the human-like species that could stop aging.

In this dream I was a woman and some kind of agent (FBI or something else).
There was a criminal who had kidnapped me and was planning to kill me. He had me follow him somewhere and led me to the roof of a building (the area looked like a stereotypical small suburb of Athens). At some point he went near the railing and that's when I thought that it was a perfect chance to push him off.
I knew that if I didn't kill him then I might never find another chance before he killed me, so it was either him or me. Still, I was very reluctant about doing it but I thought that he wouldn't stay there forever so I didn't have time to be reluctant. I ran at him and gave him a strong push, and he fell over the edge.
I looked down and saw that there was another building next to this one, just one floor shorter, and he'd fallen on its roof. He was still very much alive and moving. So my situation hadn't changed; I still had to kill him because if I didn't he'd kill me. It was more difficult to convince myself to do it this time but I jumped down into that roof while he was still dizzy and pushed him over the edge again as he was standing up.
This time he fell two floors to street level and I was sure he must have been dead. I went down some kind of fire escape and was surprised and terrified (but somehow relieved) to find him still alive and having just regained consciousness. I knew that there was no chance for escape this time as he'd surely kill me, but then a couple of kids (a boy and a girl) came from a nearby alley (the place was all alleys) carrying colourful ribbons.
The kids started running around him as an older woman was watching them from a nearby gate. The killer was still dizzy and hadn't realised what had happened. I quickly told the woman that he was a criminal who wanted to kill me and she just nodded without changing her expression, as if she already knew that.
I noticed that the kids, who at first had seemed to just be dancing and playing with the ribbons around the killer, were actually tying his hands with them while he still was dizzy. By the time he came around completely they had tied him well and went where the older woman was. The three of them started leading me somewhere as I finally had the upper hand on the criminal and arrested him.
Additional Comments:
This is the third dream I ever remember having in which I was a woman. The other two are this and this. They have more things in common that they do with this one, but once I again I was some kind of secret/undercover agent.
I think my thoughts about having to kill this man were the same ones I'd have in reality; I'd really not like having to do it but I would if I thought it was the only chance I could survive. And if I tried and failed once but I was still in danger, the second attempt would be even more difficult emotionally.
