Fever Dreams
I recently had a mild fever, and after going to sleep, I had an unsettling experience. I don't know if this qualifies as a dream per se, but here goes:
Imagine you're in your bedroom. Now, imagine the walls closing in on you, as the doors and windows remained the same size. The end result was that my room felt smaller and bigger at the same time. After sitting in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes, and taking some fever medication, I felt better.

Thinking about it now, I don't understand why I was bothered by this. However, this has happened multiple times throughout my life, and each time, it's equally terrifying/disturbing.

My question to all the EPers is: Have you undergone anything like this? Do you remember any weird fever dreams? Is the 'Title Color' option that appears when creating a thread new, or did I just miss it before?

By the way, Physics Forums has a thread about this. It's an interesting read, and kinda creepy for me.

From what I know about sleep paralysis, that sounds horrifying.

RE: Fever Dreams
I've never had fever dreams, but when I was a child and had a high fever, I would tend to have strange hallucinations :/

RE: Fever Dreams
If it was a dream, you might be claustrophobic or afraid of being left alone in a situation where you're somewhat helpless. As far as fever dreams go,  I can't really differentiate between them and normal dreams. That might be because I eat psilocybin on a regular basis, though...
