I think that it is quite possible that this was a dream about being consumed by sexual passion. Perhaps your subconscious was recognizing that sexual passion can sometimes become painful or even destructive. Maybe it was hinting at a desire to become "one" in a literal sense. I don't know what your emotional relationship is with your girlfriend. Love can often feel like a desire to become one being, and not just in the sexual joining of bodies sense.

The disorienting sense that you may not be in bed with your girlfriend as you awoke seemed to be as disturbing as the dream. Intense feelings of fear or even that creepy "you are not alone" sensation is surprisingly common upon awakening from a dream. It is related to the chemical changes that happen when your body enters and leaves sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is a normal biological event that every healthy person goes through every time they enter REM (dream) stage sleep. Basically sleep paralysis happens to keep your sleeping body from getting up and acting out your dreams which would obviously be very dangerous! So, although your experience was intense and creepy, it was normal and caused by healthy biological processes.

Hope my two cents helps!
