The world ends without you

This was a two part dream.  

The world was minutes away from an armageddon-level event caused either by nuclear warfare or environmental disasters (I'm not sure which, but it wasn't good).  Everyone had been instructed go head to their nearest shelter and await further instructions.  I was surrounded by people panicking and fleeing in all directions.  I was also acutely aware that I didn't have my fiancee with me as she was several miles away in another town. I also had no way of reaching her.

This part of the dream ended as I headed out into the night looking for the other shelter.  The streets were nearly empty and the sky pitch black.  I saw very few people out on the street and missed my fiancee.  A sad song played in the background with lyrics from a song I wrote years ago. I woke up feeling very melancholy.

When I went back to sleep, the dream continued, but this time, I had my fiancee with me.  We were looking for a shelter together this time and people around us were running around in terror.  I then told my fiancee that I knew we could escape the impending disaster by jumping into a parallel dimension, but to do so, we'd have to go to a park on the top of a hill that was in the opposite direction of the shelter everyone was running to.  This dream ended as we held hands and started to head towards the park.

Stranger danger

 My recollection of this dream is somewhat disjointed, so I'll share what I remember.

It started with me in a village somewhere in East Asia (think Indonesia).  I was in what looked like a paddy field and it was near dark.  I was staying with a family who lived in a bamboo house in the field itself. At one point, I was in the  house with the family then went outside.

While outside, I was talking to two of the household's men (the father and oldest brother, I think) as I looked across the expanse of the field.  Across the field itself, I saw other huts and also got a sense that I'd been to this place before in another dream.

Anyway, at some point, the men told me it was not safe to be outside after dark as there were creatures that roamed the fields at night.  As soon as they said this I saw four of these creatures in the distance.  They looked like ghostly zombies but moved very quickly and strangely.  I then noticed that the men had disappeared, leaving me alone to try and flee these creatures.  

I tried to run back to the house, but the creatures were blocking my path, leaving me no choice but to run in the other direction.  I was able to fly as I often can in my dreams and took off to escape.  After a short while, I was in another land entirely and it was now daytime; a clear blue sky on a sunny day.

I flew past several buildings with signs I couldn't read (the writing looked like what you see of text in AI images) and landed in what looked like the middle of a runway.  I spoke to two young women who were milling about and asked their names (I wasn't trying to hit on them, I just wanted to get a sense of where I was).  They were very cagey and didn't want to speak to me at first but eventually did.  The first girl, oddly had the same name as me when I asked, and, even stranger the second said her name was "Clarence". I spoke to a third girl who was incredibly suspicious and thought I was some kind of spy.  I kept on denying this, but she didn't believe me.  The dream ended as she stabbed me in the stomach, which I actually felt, but instead of waking up, I entered a state of sleep paralysis where I could feel the sensation in my stomach from the wound (it wasn't painful, but it was very unpleasant). I eventually woke up, disorientated and confused.
