Are you sure that the phone wasn't ringing before you had your sleepy hearing the phone ring experience? When you're woken from a deep sleep by a sound like that your brain can easily get confused... I can semi-recall similar dozy states with an alarm going off.

If your mrs was asleep and feeling the effects of a full bladder, what's unreasonable in supposing that her subconscious in a dream state would manifest itself by representing an activity she must have done thousands of times?

As to the dread... there are too many potential explanations for it... the most likely sounding to me merely being that something in your environment triggered off a hormonal reaction in the brain.
