Many dream fragments and one false awakening(possible dream foresight)

I slept late today and had many dreams which I cant remember.
One involved a movie based on Oedipus Rex with Cartman from South Park playing the king, I remember commenting that he did a good job.
Another involved me talking to a professor about a research study I have been deliberating(I remember more of this so I'll discuss it)
I walk down to his desk after class, everyone is leaving the room. I say "Can I ask you a question Dr. Jones?" He responds "How can I answer that question with no?" this is his way of saying go ahead, he is a very open professor and has never turned down a question. I began telling him that I am considering running a hypothetical experiment about the effects of psychedelics in depression. I explain to him that there was a study conducted on LSD, which found it can treat depression(don't know if this is entirely true). I mention that there have only been a handful of studies and that this is a novel research area.
He is listening, interested and makes helpful comments throughout. I finally mention the difference between my study and previous ones, I intend to use a psychedelic which is found naturally in the human body, dimethyltyrptamine. I say "I want to use a psychedelic found in your body" and point to his chest, he suddenly gets a look of immense interest, but before I can explain the dream ends.
I had another fragment which I believe proceeded the false awakening. I remember that I had a party in my new apartment, it looked different(even though in reality the only difference is my room mate moved out). I walk into my room and pick up my phone, it says missed call and when I click on it it says "so many." As if I missed many calls and it can't display them all. It then flashes a message to connect to the computer to retrieve these missed calls. I vaguely remember searching around the room for the cable to connect it. Then
I hear a knocking, "Oh, that must be room mate coming to pick up his last few boxes." I get up in a hurry and am rushing towards the door, suddenly I realize that I'm not awake. Then I actually wake up.
Here's the strange thing, I knew he was coming to pick up the boxes, but about 20 minutes after this false awakening I actually heard a knocking on my door. Lo and behold it was my room mate, here to pick up the last boxes. It may be considered a dream foresight(I don't believe it), because it happened very shortly after the dream. More likely it was just a happy coincedence
