Papercut, there are a couple of possibilities. One is that this is a nightmare, reflective of some sort of distress, anxiety or trauma. Although this may not be the "cool" explanation, I think it's important to consider this possibility as well as others. With that in mind, how is your "waking" life going?
At the same time, the experiences you've described reminded me quite strongly of accounts found in Dolores Cannon's "Convoluted Universe" books. Have you read any of them? She has many hypnosis subjects who come in with unexplained experiences, including strange experiences at night, and discover they are actually very busy at night, while the body is asleep, working with non-Earth beings in various ways. Some of these are not necessarily what you'd call pleasant experiences, but all are, reportedly, what the human agreed to participate in prior to the incarnation, in the service of a higher purpose.
Finally, have you considered asking the part of you that knows exactly what is happening about it? Many ways to do so. The obvious one given the preceding paragraph would be a QHHT session. This is Dolores Cannon's hypnosis technique. Sadly she herself has passed on, but there are trained practitioners you can locate on the web. I've never had a QHHT session so cannot speak about the quality or experience - maybe others here can.
More directly, if you meditate you can bring to mind a recent "dream", ask about its nature and just listen. Pretend your Higher Self, who knows all your experiences past and future, is there with you, and simply ask him or her. Perhaps write down whatever words or concepts pop into your mind, without filtering. Don't forget to take whatever you receive with a grain of salt, as one always should.
Whatever the explanation for the phenomena you describe, it seems to have succeeded in at least one important way - waking you up from the 3D dream. (More accurately, I'd say, awakening makes it a lucid dream - we're still dreaming until we die, but at least we now know we're dreaming and don't have to continue taking it as seriously or blindly following the dream narrative). Now that you've awakened, how has that affected your daily life?
