I think there needs to be a specific word for the unpleasant feeling of half waking up from a dream in which you have missed an important deadline, and not being sure if it was a dream or something from work a dream has alerted you to.
Tim, I think this is up your alley. Perhaps a German word combination?

Germans have great long words which, as far as I can tell, they invent when needed - it's perhaps less a creative output and more an ordinary function of language. Maybe this would be halbaufwachenterminvermissenunsicherheitsangst, or literally -'half waking up deadline missing uncertainty fear'.
Thanks. It's a pretty good one for a competitive spelling bee!
