I had a similar one...I was the boy from The rescuers down under animated movie. I was being chased through the desert to a canyon cliff by a villain cowboy with a huge bowie knife. I had to jump off. I always woke up before impact in the canyon floor.
It was a recurring dream. When I would go back to sleep, I would wake up in a cave with a swimming pool. The swimming pool was bordered by a track of razor sharp tiles that moved on track which were being laid by a family. The family kept making wider and wider tracks of tiles that would slice my hands open when I tried to get out of the pool. I would get tired from swimming and the people laying the tiles just acted like they were being forced to continue. I basically fell back into the water in despair.
I probably had this dream at least 15-20 times as a young boy. About 30 years ago as well.
