Another early morning Dream

I'm running again, trying to escape my pursuer which appears to me as someone I know. They are faster than me so I need be smarter in order to get out of this strange structure. There seems to be three or four stories with one tower extending up on each of the four corners. I must go up in order to get out. At the top of one of the towers will be something I can climb on to. I climb to the top of tower 1 and look out to my potential escape route but nothing is there. I expect something big to be there so I try to look at the other towers to see which tower I should climb next. I don't see anthing at tower 2 and realize another tower must the correct one. I start back down only to face that which is chasing after me. I don't have much time left to escape. I can feel that, and neither is there time to think or plan. I have to be fast. I take a shot at my potential captor with my leg and, in the only moment possible I kick hard with my foot and start pounding on his leg muscle with my fist.... This is the weird part as I seem to know this thing in front of me but I also know I need to slow it down. If I can make a leg muscle stop working for a few moments I have a chance to make it to one more tower.
The idea works. I head to the lower level and start running for tower 2, my only open route. I think I only have time for one more tower. But Which one? I remember something. While I was looking out from the first tower I could only see tower 2 to my left and I saw no escape near that tower. My vision to the other two towers to the right had been blocked so I knew it had to be one of those two towers. My lower level run headed toward tower 2 but I now knew my escape would only be further, at tower 3 or 4. While running I remember I could not see tower 3 but I could see the 'sky' to the left of it. Since I am looking for something big, I decided my destination should be tower 4. So when I reach tower 2, I turn toward tower 4 and run faster. I am right. I get there just as I run out of time, as my pursuer almost reaches me. I try to look at the sky...
I open my eyes and it's dark. I hear and feel nothing. I take a breath through my mouth and then through my nose. My nose starts to clear and air finally moves into my lungs. I hear a BOOM and realize my heart just started beating again. My ears start a low rumbling roar. I take deep breaths and try to move. I'm lying on my left side with my head in toward my arms like my upper body is wrapped in a ball. I try to roll over to my right. I look up at the clock over my head and the time is 3:54 am. A few more deep breaths. I get up, use the bathroom and sit down at the PC.
I wonder what I did (or ate) yesterday that caused this. The last time this happened was November 2nd. Will they be able to determine during the test next week if these 'events' are real or all just dreams?
Anyway, it's 4:48 am now and I'm going to push 'publish' and try to get some more sleep.
