painful contractions

I am 33+3, and for the last 4 days I am being woken up every morning with very painful contractions. They last a cpl mins and then go away. I will get a cpl more throughout the morn but they are very irregular and seem to mostly be at the beginning of the day. Since they weren't regular I wasnt really concerned.  Well now I am getting them more through the day but still maybe only 1 or 2 an hr. They do feel stronger though. And last night I had 3 dreams about my water breaking or going into labor. So odd, I've never had a dream like that before nor do I ever remember my dreams. Do you think I should call the dr or just wait a few more days and see what happens?

They can be painful for some people. The rule of thumb is 4 or more contractions (BH or not) go to emerge or call your doctor.
