I am running away from intruders in the house I used to live in, and I come to the top of the stairs and I trip and fall down the stairs in slow motion, and when I hit the floor I am running but not getting anywhere.

I used to have that very same dream quite a few times when i was younger . exactly like that when i got to the bottom of the stairs i would try to get into the room and close the door before what ever was chasing me get in

are you still running and getting knowhere, or is it just a feeling of hopelessness and being trapped in that house as a kid? Can you break the pattern? It is so hard to see ourselves from the outside, and really hard to make changes.
