This one dates back to October 2007.
I'm in a dark tunnel speaking to my mum. My sister is also there. My mum walks off, and my sister and I are left. All of a sudden, a train rolls into the tunnel, and the music starts to go all Silent Hill. I also notice that the front of the train resembles Pyramid Head's head. Just then, I notice the train starts to slowly transform INTO Pyramid Head, so I turn and tell my sister we need to get out of here quick. However, she's faffing around and not listening to me, so I grab her hand and we both run out of the tunnel. At some point, I think she slips or I lose her, but I keep on running anyway. I manage to escape the tunnel before Pyramid Head transforms and then I wake up.

Old dream: Living Dead Woman
This one dates back to October 2007.
I was a new student starting college. I went to my class, and noticed that the tutor was no taller than 4 feet (though she wasn't a midget, as everything was in proportion). She briefed the class (it goes a bit blurry here) and later everyone's dismissed for break. I return from break to find the class empty save the tutor, whose sitting with her feet up on her desk casually surfing the net on her laptop. I ask her what's going on, to which she shrugs indifferently. She tells me she couldn't care less about teaching the class anymore. I criticise her for being unprofessional, and she criticises me for being nosey. I continue to pry as to her sudden change of attitude, and she bursts into tears and tells me she doesn't want everyone to know that she is in fact dead. She describes herself as a "living dead woman" and tells me she frequently has to go for check-ups because her body parts keep rotting and falling off. All of a sudden, the smell of putrefaction fills the room and I hear people vomiting. I also start to vomit, and the dream ends.
Associations notwithstanding, in hindsight, I am positive this dream is about work. At the time, I was feeling undervalued and I suspect this dream relates to that somehow.

Severed
This is a dream I had two days ago.
In this dream, I went from being an observer to an active participant. I started off observing a man and a woman get out of a car and walk into a large mansion-like house. It was a dark night and the car, which was black was parked on a gravel driveway outside the property. The man and the woman were a couple.
Just after they left, I heard the voice of a child, a little girl say something like "Please no, mister!", which immediately got my attention. In my state as the observer, I started searching around for the source of this voice, suspecting the child may be in some kind of trouble. However, as I looked around, I didn't see a child, but I did see a man dressed in black in his mid to late thirties smoking a cigarette in what looked like a child's play area in a park. The park was quite small, and contained a little climbing frame, but I don't remember any specific details about it beyond that.
As I saw this man, I wondered if he too had heard the child, and why he wasn't doing anything about it if he had (he was just casually smoking and paying no heed to anything else). At that point, I became a participant and found myself standing at the top of a small hill that directly overlooked this park. I was about to speak to the unknown man, when I noticed what looked like a ghostly apparition of a young girl appear in the play area. I knew straight away that this was the same girl I heard earlier, only she was actually about 16 or 17 (or so her appearance suggested), which was a direct contradiction to the voice I heard.
I only saw this girl from behind; she appeared to be wearing a pink overcoat, and this was all I could really see of her. She then floated straight through a locked gate to the right of where the man was smoking and continued down a little pathway that lead out of the park. From my position on the hill, I called out to this girl to get her attention, but she didn't respond. Just then, the man said to me "It's no use, she can't respond, she's been severed". I had no idea what he meant, and his words have stuck with me ever since.
I then noticed the girl was heading up the hill and along a path that lead directly to where I was standing. I looked and saw her ghostly form floating towards me, again her pink overcoat was flowing and I could make out a faint black glow that outlined her bodily form. Even though it was me who originally called her, I suddenly became frightened when I thought about what was actually happening (i.e. a ghost was approaching me), and decided to flee in the other direction. So I ran away from this ghost girl and came to another grass hill, which I started to climb. The girl then appeared directly in front of me and at that point, I woke up. Incidentally, I couldn't make out the girl's features at all. All I saw was a hazy black mist.
Associations
The couple : They only played a minor role in this dream, but the couple actually reminded me of a couple at my workplace, only their relationship is on the rocks, as I learned recently. For some reason, they came to mind when I saw the couple in the dream.
The black car : I can think of no particular associations with the black car in this dream.
Child's play area : As mentioned above, it was small and had been locked up (presumably because it was the evening). I had a fight with another kid in the child's play area of a park when I was about 10 years old. I avoided the park for a little while after the incident. My only lingering thought associated with children's play areas is that, whilst fun, they're not very safe and potentially, anything could happen. The park in this dream was in a cage-like enclosure.
The girl : As before, she was actually a teenage girl, but what I heard was the voice of a little child in distress.
The colour pink : ...the pink coat is interesting, simply because it is a colour that has frequented a few of my dreams in the past. Like many I imagine, pink is a colour I associate with women or femininity. Incidentally, the girl's coat stood out all the more as everything else in this dream was dark.
UPDATE (31-1-09): This dream literally haunted me, but its meaning has become clearer to me in hindsight. When I had this dream, I was noticing a rather troubled young lady at my work (I work in a college and she is a student). She caught my eye and I was genuinely concerned for her wellbeing as she looked as though she was having trouble at home... only I had no idea how to approach it particularly as it looked as though no-one else even noticed her (she was always alone too). It used to bug me a lot, because her demeanour was so sad (like a drowned kitten). I read an excellent dream dictionary which purported that mansions symbolise the effect external situations have on us as individuals (ergo, this girl's effect on me by means of my concern for her). The rest of the dream imagery appears to compound this notion too, what with her almost "ghostly", seemingly invisible presence around the place. Perhaps the dream was showing me that if I had gotten involved and tried to help, it may have been more than I was psychologically capable of being able to deal with (hence me running away from the ghost girl).
Interestingly, the couple at the beginning of the dream (whom I thought to be work colleagues who were seeing each other at the time) seem almost linked to this in a prescient manner. The female of the couple was a woman who worked in my office (she's now left). We became friends outside of work, which is how I learned that she had a drinking problem. This is relevant becasue before I even knew about this, I sensed she was also troubled in some way - just like the aforementioned girl. However, it is only now, in retrospect that I have put the two together.
Incidentally, the girl left the college this summer past (could this be what the dream meant by telling me "she" had been "severed"?) and I haven't seen her since. I still wonder about her from time to time as she genuinely looked like she was going through hell. Wherever she is, I can only hope she's OK.
