Weird dreams

I have been having some strange, extremely vivid dreams lately. Most of them feature a rather evil protagonist that is trying to get me.

I start off in normal situations, which makes the dreams feel like I'm actually awake. Then all of a sudden, I'm being pursued by someone/something for a reason I don't understand.

All my dreams end at the instant I am caught or discovered, whereupon I wake up fully charged with adrenaline.

Now I just have to figure out what all this means.
