Surreal in general means bizarre or dreamlike.

Every dream means something. For example if you have a dream about hunger it suggests that obviously the dreamer is hungry and that our physical, emotional or mental needs are not being satisfied. Kissing someone in a dream shows respect and acceptance. I even have a dream dictionary by Pamela Ball which you can probably by at chapters. I'm really into dream interpatation and all that stuff. I find it really cool that your self concious comes to you in such a cool way. Hope this helped. Jen (:

Below is the best definitive answer I could find, but basically surreal is when you get the feeling "this cannot be real!" accompanied by the dreadful suspicion that it just might be.
"surrealism
1927, from Fr. surréalisme (from sur- "beyond" + réalisme "realism"), coined c.1917 by Guillaume Apollinaire, taken over by Andre Breton as the name of the movement he launched in 1924 with "Manifeste de Surréalisme." Taken up in Eng. at first in the Fr. form; the anglicized version is from 1931; surreal is a 1936 back-formation."

the prefix 'sur' actually means 'above' or 'over', so surreality is a a reality higher than the normal one i guess.
