If I don't have my Meds,
I have similar experiences. I will get up, go about my day, then realise something isn't quite right, maybe the colour of the sky. That's when I'll realise I'm dreaming, wake up, get up and go about my day. Then, somewhere along the line again, I'll realise something's not right.....etc etc. This has happened to me up to 6 times in a row.

If it was all mad dream-like stuff, it wouldn't be so bad, but it's just like real-life apart from the aforementioned subtle giveaway. When you wake up with the police banging on the door to arrest you for shooting someone, it's fucking frightening trying to figure out which bit is the dream - the shooting, the arrest, or all of it.

The odd thing about it
was the completely outrageous things which seemed completely normal during my dreams, like the old bathroom suite in the kitchen and my house being completely different than usual, then I realise I'm dreaming by reading a paper! I still have a recurring dream in which one of my legs doesn't work properly and I'm trying to limp home. The dream is always different, sometimes I'm back at school trying to reach the bus, sometimes I'm walking along the street, sometimes I'm carrying an obscenely heavy bag, but always one of my legs is all gammy :(

Sleep paralysis
I've had this...probably no more than 5 times in my life though.

it seems to be accompanied by lucid dreams (eg, with your newspaper and then you realise 'whoah, i'm dreaming.' i'm sure i've read in a dream before though).

my worst sleep paralysis was when my covers were over my face and i couldn't lift them off. i felt like i was suffocating to death. lovely!
