1970's neighborhood dream

This dream began as a joyful dream as I actually recognized a few of my friends from a long time ago as they were back then. I was in a neighborhood, typical neighborhood with lots of trees and houses on both sides of the street however, the houses were far set apart like at least about 2 house-lengths to their neighbors. It was the 1970's and I saw myself as a teenager then (even though I was just a kid really in the 70's) and there was a group of us out in the street talking. There were a few adults, men and women who I have no idea who they really were and the rest were teens like me. I remember looking at one of my friends and seeing him smile at me and I felt like saying, "Man, it great to see you again!" when all of a sudden the dream changed. My friend who was smiling at me gave me a chill and somehow his expression was sinister.

When he noticed that I noticed this, he called all the other people except for the 3 friends that were with me across the street for some "meeting". One of my friends said he wanted to go too but the smiling friend said its best for him to stay here with me. They walked across the street periodically looking back and went around one house that was diagonal to the house we were standing in front of. The friend that wanted to go went anyway and sneaked across the road and then took a look around to the back of the house. As I started to tell the remaining friends that something strange was going on, the snooping friend came running back out of breath saying that they were doing something weird behind the house and that we need to get out of here immediately.

We all took off running away from the house that they went around down another street and there was an orange 70's sports car on the side of the road that apparently was mine. We kept running and running toward the car but seemed we could never reach it until finally we looked back and saw the people coming around the corner after us. We piled in the car and everything that could, did go wrong, keys in the pocket, foot stuck in the door, you name it. We managed to get in the car and get it started but they were right upon us. I put the car in reverse and we took off however it seemed like we again were not going anywhere. The people were marching toward us in a zigzag manner putting one leg out and then the other after and it had a weird hypnotic effect.

Finally, we made it out of that neighborhood and close to the highway but it seemed there was no way for us to get to the highway so we decide to bash our way through. It's kind of hard to explain because there wasn't a barrier or fence or median blocking the way, it was like we were in a film and the edge was preventing us from going any further and all the while the people were getting closer and closer. I revved the engine and we went headlong into the unknown. It suddenly became dark and my alarm went off so then I woke up at that moment. It's interesting to note that I woke up with a leg cramp so I must've been straining my leg in anxiety during this dream...

It didn't but that sinking feeling of something being wrong or off was very real in this dream... it felt scary...
