River Panther

I am swimming in a river, more like standing waist deep in the water. Behind me there is gravely sand making up the shore, but across the river there are large pine trees growing clear up to the water. I can't see the horizon in any direction because there are so many tall trees everywhere. I rinse my arms as though I'm bathing, and I catch a glimpse of a girl half my age swimming in the center of the river, coming down stream. My mom and dad on the sandy bank get excited, calling my name and saying, "Look! Look! A mermaid is in the water with you!" When I look back at the dark haired little girl, she dives under the water, her magenta and orange fin kicking up behind her. I notice the way the fin bends, I can tell she has knees and heels. I don't want to say it in front of the little girl, because she seems to be enjoying making us think that she's really a mermaid, but when she swims under water by me I call to my parents that the fin she's wearing is really awesome. She surfaces, and for the first time speaks to me. I compliment her fin, and we exchange some more dialog before she takes off her fin and we leave the water. My parents had already gone inside a log cabin not far from the water's edge, and the sun is setting. As I dry off I tell her she should come inside, and that she can stay for dinner if she wants. But before we get through the door I realize that she's just a little girl, not but ten years old. I ask, "Hey, where are your parents?"
Timidly she says, "I, I don't know. I lost them. I think they're still out there. I should really go back and try to find them..." She turns and starts heading toward the water to walk along it's edge upstream. I tell her to hold on, that I'll come with her because it's way to dangerous to go alone. I close the door behind me and start to walk with her, but we don't get but ten feet when I stop in my tracks, and grab her small arm. A black panther is stalking toward us, amongst the trees, from the direction we need to go. It's eyes shine red.
"Get inside, go, go!" I harshly whisper to her and pull her toward the door. I jump violently when a loud black dog in a house/shed next to our cabin, locked up in a chain-linked area, barks ferociously at us. It surprises me so harshly that I fall to the ground just as the girl opens the door and flees inside. I turn my back on the frothing-at-the-mouth dog and the panther edging ever close to crawl to the door, getting inside myself.
Now the urgency is gone. I plan to climb up a latter to my right, right inside the door, that leads to the room I share with two other room mates. It's time to sleep, and because I was late getting inside, the girls I share a room with have lifted the latter and closed the hatch. Now, I have no freaking way to get up to bed. Katniss asks me what's wrong when she notices my disarray. I tell her the situation, and she tells me that there's a way to lower the latter via a button further inside the house. I follow her as she leads me upstairs, past a bunch of others like us sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor, couch, coffee table. I can recognize most of them as my classmates. Very few are not asleep yet, including the popular girls like Crystl, Cristal, and Jamie. Once we're on the second floor I see that there's a bunch of cots, in the "rooms" which are actually not really rooms at all. They're more like three-walled extensions to the dark hallway that Katniss is leading me down. She stops to remove the front panel of the fuse box, but I don't notice. Now that we're on the second floor, I can't help but look for Darel. I know that he sleeps up here. I see him on one of the small beds, his blond hair swished over his forehead awkwardly, tossed by sleep. I can't help but smile as I look at him with longing. Those his eyes are closed, I can easily picture their vivid blue color. Katniss pulls me out of my thoughts as she tells me she's flipped the switch that will lower my latter.
I thank her as we make our way to the window. I open it up and crawl out on the ledge. I look down to the balcony I'm supposed to jump down to, but it's way to far down for me to make it safely. So, I walk along the edge, telling Katniss one more thank you, before I head to the corner of the ledge. About half as far down as the balcony, there is a boat's bow sticking out the building. I leap down to it, sliding on my feet to the boat's very tip. I flip over the railing, catching myself on the bars, and drop down onto the deck/balcony underneath the boat. A few people applaud my performance. [End]

Relative to Real Life~
Night of December 10th, 2013
Real-life characters: Mom, Dad, Katniss (The Hunger Games), Crystl, Cristal, Jamie, Darel.
Dream-created characters: Mermaid girl, two inconsiderate/evil-step-sister-type girls I shared a room with, people on the boat.
Real-life places: None.
Dream-created places: River, log cabin, forest.
Different than real life: I haven't swam in a river in forever, I've never actually been around someone wearing one of those mermaid fin things, I've never seen a panther in real life, I don't live in a cabin near a river, my parents have been divorced for 3+ years and haven't been in the same setting since, I don't live with a bunch of other people, I haven't seen Crystl Cristal Darel nor Jamie since high school- and even then we rarely spoke as they were not in the same 'group' as me, I obviously don't know Katniss in real life because she is a fictional character.
Reasons:
River / Log cabin = I was watching a show on Nat Geo that showed a guy moving gravel up a river via a boat to a log cabin he was building.
Katniss = I've seen many pictures of Katniss/Jennifer Lawrence on my Dashboard on Tumblr the day before this dream.
Reoccurring: No.
Precognitive: No experiences yet.
