I wish I could think of 5:30 as being too early to get up, but alas, that's when I usually get up, sometimes ever earlier.

I've had a similar experience with hearing alarms in my sleep, but my experience is with music in my dreams blending into the sound of the alarm. One experience that sticks out in my mind is where I was watching a symphony concert playing a slow movement of a piece in a minor key. When the last measure was played they orchestra held the final note for an awful long time, longer than they should. Then I realized it was my alarm holding that final note. :ph34r:
As far as recurring people in my dreams, I have had this one red-haired girl show up in at least a couple of my dreams this week. I don't know for sure how she fits into my experiences, since she doesn't look like anyone I know.
