I had this really disturbing dream/experience a few weeks ago. Either my dream melded with reality or the other way around.

I fell asleep on my couch (I do sometimes because it’s more comfy than my bed!). I had this dream where I was in a basement lit only by a really small red hanging light bulb, but the light wasn‘t red. I heard someone walking above me on the floorboards above and every step dust would come down and float around the little hanging light. I turned and saw these stairs leading up to an old wooden door with these weird marks all over it. Then the footsteps stopped and I heard these really loud pounding noises coming from the door, they started to get louder and louder and I heard wood start to crack like the door was about to explode.

Then I woke up and the pounding didn’t stop. I heard a couple more pounds coming from my front door which is only about ten feet from the couch I was on, I only heard it a couple more times after I woke up then it stopped but it was REALLY loud, like the wood splitting noise carried over too. I was really creeped out by it so I just laid there for a few seconds wondering what I should do, or if it was even real.
Then I got up off the couch and turned the lights on outside and checked through the peephole but I didn’t see anyone or anything. I didn’t open the door because I was too scared, so I went and woke up my roommate to see if she heard it, but she didn’t hear anything. So I have no idea if what I heard was my dream making it's way into reality or the other way around... either way it really freaked me out.
Anyone else ever experience anything like that?
