Sounds like the type of dreams I have. I don't remember much from my good dreams, but one thing I do remember is that among the trouble I'm in - There is always a woman. I guess you dream your desires.
My scariest deepest dream is one I had maybe 6 months ago, I don't remember much from it, but what I do remember is that it was the morning because I sleep until noon. In the dream I was getting out of bed at around 11-ish (it actually was around that time in real life as I was dreaming too), going downstairs, as I do every morning. Everything looked and felt so real, with so much detail in the world. I could swear I was awake. Then noticed something which lead to me thinking "Wait, is this a dream?" or my body was telling me that I was dreaming, then I got scared within my dream, trying to wake myself up in any way possible. Pinching, slapping, water, etc. I could feel my real life body trying to move to wake up, yet paralysed. After some time I was starting to believe that I wasn't dreaming and it in-fact was real. The trigger which woke me up was the clock on the oven, it was counting seconds, like hh:mm:ss. Our oven clock does not count seconds, as soon as I turned my head to look at it, I was 100% sure it was a dream and was able to wake up from that hell.
One other thing I remember from my dreams... Some people dream in black and white, others colour... I dream golden. Everything has a gold-ish tint over it. The sky and outside is gold, etc. Like a filter they sometimes put in TV shows and movies to signify Mexico or the 70s lol.
