You had a false awakening, which is pretty common. Happens to me a lot and until you get used to it, it will freak you out.
The most freaky thing is that the dream world feels as real as if not more real than waking consciousness.
If I was you, if you are still feeling freaked out, jut take deep breaths and keep doing reality checks that you aren't sleeping still, you'll feel better later, everything will be alright and you can assure yourself that next time it happens, you'll enjoy it instead of frekaing out.
I did something similar, was having a nightmare so woke myself up, went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror and my face looked different. I turned round and looked at the bedroom, I could see myself lying in bed. The shock of that woke me right up and this time I was awake, but I felt pretty unsettled the rest of that day.
Fortunately, like anything, it gets easier once you get used to it.
