Your dreams seem fairly commonplace. I dreamt that I woke up in bed next to my own corpse, and resurrected myself by placing a pill in the dead me's mouth.

Most frighteningly realistic dream I ever had I was working in a hospital (I have nothing to do with the medical profession!) which I knew was on an airless alien world and was protected by some sort of force field. I was just finishing my shift and walking away down a long corridor when an alarm sounded to say the field had failed and looking down the corridor I could see people starting to collapse, I turned to a doctor next me shook his hand and said goodbye and then started to black out - at which point I woke up!

That has distinct echoes of the Dr Who story "Smith and Jones", in which a hospital was removed to the moon, along with - at first - its own air bubble. Have you seen it, by any chance?
I have dreams like this very often, because a very mundane condition : I gave severe nocturnal apnea. Try to check with a doctor (well, not necessarily THE Doctor...) if you are developing a condition like this.Most frighteningly realistic dream I ever had I was working in a hospital (I have nothing to do with the medical profession!) which I knew was on an airless alien world and was protected by some sort of force field.

Have indeed seen that episode but despite the similarities my dream predated it by many years!That has distinct echoes of the Dr Who story "Smith and Jones", in which a hospital was removed to the moon, along with - at first - its own air bubble. Have you seen it, by any chance?
Tell me, I'm an American living in this nightmare.Who needs weird dreams these days when all you need is to look at the news! I just spent an hour on FB reading about the latest slew of political crises in the US. What a nightmare.
That sounds like a nightmare.The strangest dream I had was strange because it wasn't strange.
I was at work. Just a normal day and I just got on with the job.
That was it.
So what was his solution/recommendation for avoiding loneliness?John Lennon was in my dream last night, reassuring me that I didn't need to be lonely (!). He was right up in my face, too. Long hair and granny specs era.
Hang in there. On the off-chance it's sleep disturbance in a positive feedback loops with tiredness, have you tried avoiding cheese, red-wine and caffeine after midday?I don't know what's causing these dreams, but they're beginning to freak me out.
possibly happened the other way round ? and at the moment your blackberry alarm sounded this was interpolated into your dream narrative ...... he held up a Blackberry and pointed at it. Then my Blackberry alarm went off at 6am. Only slightly Fortean but still.

mind you its quite fortean that you still rock a blackberry, that defies explanation
ive always felt that rather than being experienced as a sequential narrative series of events a dream or dreams manifest fully formed as an instant whole, so the antiquated phone alarm triggered the entire of what you think of as that dream instantaneously as a single thought, like looking at a mapI've noted that before - it's possible it's how it's recalled rather than how it happened. It's funny how dream narratives seamlessly incorporate external events - I suspect dreams have a different meter hand 'real life'.
I've written dreams down and after some practise a longer joined up (and sensible) narrative does emerge, which suggests the dream is sequential to some extent as the "map" theory might be outside the capabilities of working memory to recall a narrative in that way. I think memory storage is a kind of map though, where the data and the location of the data are intertwined.ive always felt that rather than being experienced as a sequential narrative series of events a dream or dreams manifest fully formed as an instant whole, so the antiquated phone alarm triggered the entire of what you think of as that dream instantaneously as a single thought, like looking at a map
mind you i did read somewhere that lucid dreams have been demonstrated as taking place real-time (and not as in inception) ...
the antiquated phone alarm
A long shot, but....processed chicken?there haven't been any changes in diet,
Yes, but: RIM servers/BES access. Hmmm. I'm wedded/welded to my BB, but I'd happily have it cut from me with a rusty spoon.and a device in which security is second only to iPhones.
Yes...agreed, in a sense. But there are snakes & ladders in there, as wellI think memory storage is a kind of map though, where the data and the location of the data are intertwined

As opposed to fresh, free-range local.
My late Father-in-law used to swear that eating mass-market supermarket chicken made him have horrible, paranoid dreams. Might you have, exceptionally, eaten 'city chicken' recently?

Do you watch CSI type murder/rape dramas on TV ? ... my Mrs loves them but they're to grim and depressing for me.City chicken, lol. But no, no dietary changes at all.
Had another of those dreams last night again. This one more detailed and more disturbing.
I was the victim of a serial killer, reliving my last days and moments trying to figure out how I had been caught by the killer. I was running through various sections of woods, knowing the killer was out there somewhere. I happened upon a particular area which I recognized as the site where my body had been found. I decided I'd better get out of there, but upon turning around, came face-to-face with the killer in a clearing.
It turned out the killer was a woman, fairly young and a little plump, with longish dark hair. Not someone I immediately recognized from real life. If she looked like anyone I could name, it would be Meg White, from The White Stripes. I have nothing against Meg White at all, so no idea why the killer resembled her. Though I do get the feeling this woman represents someone I know, just appearing in a different guise.
In the dream, I cursed myself for my foolishness, having run back to the site of my own death. Then I woke up with the shivers again.
Whatever's going on, I'm sure it's psychological. Perhaps I'm unconsciously picking up something that's wrong in my environment.
