Standing Up for the Lady

I was in a college setting on a campus that I frequently find myself on when dreaming. I was in a class that possibly involved either athletics or some type of small construction (like a shop class.) The instructor was rude and aggressive and he started speaking particularly aggressively to a female student. There was a vocal cue that only I could hear that said out loud "You can't let him talk to her like that." I immediately confronted the instructor and expressed my disapproval of his behavior. He responded aggressively to me and became very angry. He approached me like we were going to physically fight but when he reached me he reverted to a comical almost cartoonish boxing stance. He did throw punches at my face but they were light and didn't hurt at all. He was grinning like a buffoon and obviously didn't really intend to hurt me. He turned away from me but continued his clownish boxer antics. The class let out and we all walked together to our cars. I noticed that all of my classmates were attractive women and they were all expressing their pleasure with me for defending the lady. The one that was most vocal looked quite a lot like a girl I was in love with in waking life many years ago. I made the joking comment that they shouldn't expect this kind of bravery from me outside of a school setting and the Hannah lookalike repeated it as she got into her car and laughed like it was the funniest joke she'd ever heard
