A non-fear-based dream that depicts waking up in your own bed and such is called a "false awakening". Your dream seems to be a rather unplesant one at that. Be it a night terror or not.
One idea that comes to mind is this: dream incubation. If you don't want to dream about that, don't. Simply incubate dreams about what you want before falling asleep. Imagine and focus on what you want to dream about before falling asleep. Just don't try keeping focused or you won't fall asleep or not for a while.
So, all in all, try some dream incubation by imagining and willing what you want to dream about while falling asleep. Then simply drift off. The key part, just like with MILDs - Mnemonically Induced Lucid dreams, is to really want it. If you really want to have a certain dream and use dream incubation, you'll most certainly have one about that and continue dreaming throughout the night about what you had incubated.
