This is a dream theme that repeats about twice a month for me. Sometimes more, but always at least twice a month.

I have a false awakening. I never think to do a reality check here even though I have been trying to do one every time I wake up. I am in my bedroom and I come out into the living area of my apartment. My dog is there and looks normal. Everything looks normal until I open the door to leave my apartment. Then I find out that the rest of my apartment building and the area around it looks like something out of Silent Hill! Everything is run-down and covered with a thick fog. There aren't any weird monsters like in Silent Hill, but the setting is still very disturbing. I don't play Silent Hill - I just know about it from my friend. Any idea why this would happen?
