Ear wax (cerumen) in dreams.

TL;DR - Have gross dreams about my ear pooping ear wax (cerumen), then my ear plugged up IRL, now the dreams are even more intense. WTF?

I've had this type of dream for some time now, maybe 2 years or so. It's occurs rather regularly and has been on my mind a lot recently due to a very intense dream I had about a week ago. I though, "reddit's got all kinds of answers!" So I stumbled upon this subreddit. As expected I found another awesome subreddit to maybe find some answers or even just a little insight as to WTF is ear wax doing in my dreams.

So about the dreams... When I lived in another city from the one I'm currently residing in, I had a dream of ear wax falling out of one of my ears (forgot if it was the left or right). I mean it came out like a fountain in slow motion. Forgive the gross factor, but it basically felt like my ear was taking a Poop. It being a dream and me not realizing, I was totally mortified and unprepared for the situation. It oozed into my hand, I could feel it was warm.

Then one day I wake up (IRL, none of this dream inside a dream crap) and I can barely hear out of my left ear. It got worse through out the day so when I got some ear flushing kit and tried that, didn't work. Then my friend talked me into a damn ear candle, and that was worthless. I ended up having to got to a ear/nose/throat doctor, and he told me that it was compacted wax. Turns out all you have to do is flush it with a high percentage peroxide and let it whilst taking a shower.

Sorry I'm rambling. Anyway, skip ahead to my most recent dream... I'm sitting at my desk at work dong to herp and derp when a wild crusty feeling in my left ear appears. When I reach up to feel my ear there is this huge... This huge... Not sure what to describe it. Okay take croissant dough, wad it up into a ball and bake it until it burns and is flaky/black, then shove it in your ear.

When I pull it out, again with the ear pooping feeling. It's a nasty feeling and I cringe even thinking about it. Made a nasty mess.

So what do you guy make of this? Am I just being paranoid of my ear "plugging up" again or is there some deeper going on psychologically? I just find it curious that I had the first dream, of an already long running series, before an actual incident happened IRL.
