Voodoo Doll – You start the dream in a way suggesting you experienced a rapid shift of your feelings or awareness. The up and down crazy movement shows that you moved from your waking everyday awareness and you moved into another dimension,that is because humans live in two very different dimensions. The one most people identify with is the three dimensional physical world of the body. In waking life we exist only as an awareness of our body and that is locked in one position in time and space, and so we only aware of what our limited physical senses allow us to see.
In the second dimension we are in a wider awareness, in this wider awareness you leave the limited view of the three dimensional body world most of us are trapped in, and enter a world beyond time and space. Beyond time we are aware of all time, past, present and future – all at once. So we do not look into the future, but are it. Our body life is to learn important lessons by being locked in time, space and our body, with its gender and limitations.
You seemed to have moved quickly in the up and down movement through these different dimensions. See

You obviously panicked because you ran away into another white floor, but there is no need to panic because every time you sleep and dream you enter this death dimension; in fact older cultures call sleep the ‘little death’- little because you wake from it again and again, only when the body can no longer support consciousness and your body dies you are fully in the death/dream dimension.
You must be afraid of ‘dying’ because as one woman who died says, “The biggest surprise for most people in dying is the realisation that dying does not end life.” A big surprise because we have all been trained to believe that death is the final end. See

We have to remember that having a personality with self awareness is a very new thing and has only existed for a short time. Before that we were like animals that lived only in the Life Will – what we usually call instincts. So the development of self awareness was an immense step, and left us very vulnerable, and still does.
Many people as their awareness reaches beyond what they feel is their normal self feel scared. Such resistances cause us to create awful dreams and fears as a means of avoiding our own inner world and its wonders. We feel that we will be swallowed up and we will die. It is important to say that when we meet the experience of powerlessness through becoming aware of the hugeness of your Life, which we are usually unaware if, it feels like something alien or attacking and it is a shock. When we begin to meet the Hugeness that we are, we often react to it in our dreams or in waking with fear or panic. So we dream of being attacked by aliens or frightening creatures; or being swallowed by a whale or something huge, a tsunami, or even possessed by evil entities.
Then the dream persists in trying to show you what you hold within you, but you are so determined to exit so you do not take time to look and explore what was shown you. See
