The voices in my head all hate you

I have always had a dislike for those cheesy Hot Topic t-shirt's that say things like "I fling poo" or "Keep staring, maybe I'll do a trick". One that I've always despised is "I do what the voices in my head tell me". I think its just the idea behind the t-shirts that I don't like. The way they make kids feel different all the while conforming them to each other. Anyways I've always thought about people hearing voices...I wondered what level of insanity you have to reach to be able to hear from non-existent aquaintances.
Well...I think I may have reached that point. Recently, freaky things have been happenig in my head. Hearing strange things and insane dreams have been added to my list of eccentric problems. The first instance was recent. I was lying in my bed, in that twilight between consciousness and unconsciousness, when I heard something that would freak the hell out of anyone. As clear as a bell, I heard the words "depart from me". The voice was very angry and is still very clear in my head. I instantly identified the voice as what I thought to be Jesus. Needless to say I was wide awake at this point. I began to pray aggressively. I was scared off my ass that my current line of belief had taken me to the point of pissing off my Lord. Of course I came to my senses that this action would not be in Jesus's personality and that nothing can separate me from his love, but still freaky.
Also recently I was praying for something that I really feel to be a desire of mine, frankly my strongest one, and my current biggest struggle. During my prayer a voice very clearly said"Yeah, well, Merry Christmas 2006". Once again fear, this time from hearing something so clearly from nowhere. I kept praying and haven't told a soul about this. I still really don't know what to think about it. Jesus's promise or the devil's false hope.
Now for the dream's. The first I had about two weeks ago. Rather than leave me with a state of fear, this one left me feeling warm inside. I dreamt that I was at a graduation ceremony. I was sitting by someone whose face was blurred and I could never make out. It was a woman. Then I heard my last name announced. Again I couldn't hear the first name, only the last. I realized that my son was walking accross the stage, graduating from college. Then the lady next to me grabbed my hand and leaned her head on my shoulder. This was my wife. Even in a dream, I felt the peace that I long for, only for a moment. I began to cry. At this point I woke up. My pillow was stained with tears and I was still crying. It was an incredible dream.
The most recent dream was awful...to put it lightly. I dreamt that I was watching someone that I fell in love with being intimate (for lack of cleaner context) with another. I recognized her instantly, and I recognized what was going on, but I couldn't leave. I wanted to get up and run, but I was planted in my chair. I had to watch the whole act. Afterwards, people started showing up at the place we were at, which I didn't recognize. It was a party, in the midst of all the people, I saw her, I kept trying to talk to her but she just kept walking off without saying a word or even making eye contact. Then out of nowhere she looked at me intensely. This stare lasted for a good minute, then she pulled a gun out of her pocket and shot me in the chest. I woke up, crying again, and severely heart-broken. I wanted to call her and just hear her voice after this dream but it was way too late. I miss her.
I don't really know what all of this means, maybe a lot, maybe nothing at all. I do know that except for the first dream all of this scares me and makes me think. "Your young men will dream dreams, your old men will see visions." Maybe this is coming true for me and I'm not crazy. Maybe this is preparing me for something. Or maybe I just have an overactive imagination.
