Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real, it's surreal? I had one last night that freaked me the hell out.

I don't remember all of the specifics, just the very end. I was asleep in my bed, with Overboard to my right; everything is just as it was when I went to bed. My perspective in the dream was where I laid, and everything was very calm and quiet, as one would expect at that time of night. Suddenly, I heard a noise, but I could not determine where it came from; the noise was loud enough to wake me up, but not Overboard. I laid in bed trying to go back to sleep when I heard a creaking noise coming up the stairs. I continued to lie still, hoping Overboard wouldn't wake up; then I noticed a shadow move, then a noise for the spare bedroom. Overboard continued to sleep very soundly, but I was a little more alert, fully awake and honestly, scared shitless. The shadow then turned into something tangible; it had a shape, it had movement, the figure then moved into the bedroom. I tried to remain still in order to get the jump on the figure as it moved closer, all the while hoping that Overboard remained asleep. The person got within arms reach, but I couldn't move; it got closer and closer, as if to check if I was sleeping or awake; I could feel my instinct saying "GO GO GO, HIT HIM", but I couldn't manage to make the move, the figure got ever closer, but I could not make my move. At about this point I woke up and I was extremely rattled. The room around me is as it was in the dream; Overboard was still asleep to my right, just as she was in the dream, I could hear someone drive through the neighborhood, splashing as they went...

The dream was so real, I almost got up to check the house, just to be sure.
