I can relate to the vivid dream part. That is how I dream. It is rare that I ever have the suspend reality type "dream" to frolic with forest fairies. Mostly I dream very realistically that I'm somewhere witnessing something, usually horrifying. The people I see and hear aren't anyone I know or have ever seen before as far as I remember.
For instance, I dreamt recently I was in my bed, and that I had awoken sensing something a miss in my room. My eyes were adjusting to the darkness when I was suddenly able to make out a figure of a man standing next to my bed holding an axe. Just as he swung it to cleave my skull, I awoke for real. The worst part was that it just seemed like the dude disappeared. I was awake, and trying to convince myself I had a nightmare and that there was no axe wielding madman loose in my room. It's hard to close your eyes after that.
