Angela,
The heart attack could represent a lack of emotional support and acceptance, issues related to the Dying Dog dream. The grim reaper could symbolize negative aspects that you have repressed, possibly rejected aspects related to personality {early life experiences}. It would be something that needs to be brought to an end {grim reaper signifies death which represents an end to something}. These issues are draining your emotional energies {albeit unconscious} and these negative energies need to be brought out from your unconscious so you can resolve the issues {repression}. You may be on the verge of letting these unconscious out but when you get close to doing so you push them back deeper into the unconscious {losing consciousness and waking up}. Or you are reluctant to let them out and confront them for some reason.
