Instead of having a more dramatic dream about needing to evacuate and feeling like there was a threat to my life, I had a dream that I was far too cold to be comfortable in a classroom that was being run by a man. (And when it's freezing, you need to leave.)
I said, "Does anyone else feel cold?"
Half the class raised their hands
"Well, I actually feel warm. Who feels warm?" he asked.
Half the class raised their hands and I was already getting the "Pretty soon everyone's going to be feeling warmer rather than cooler" feeling.
"Do whatever you need to do," the man in charge said to me, supposedly magnanimously.
I woke up and decided to look up some articles.
"More women than men feel uncomfortably cold..."
