Are you sure you didn't have a nighttime paralysis episode?
Usually what happens:
When you're dreaming, you're more aware than usual. You actually think you're awake. Sometimes, you feel a presence with you, which is scary - like a man in your room who isn't supposed to be there. You try to wake yourself up and feel paralyzed - can't move, can't breathe, you're afraid you're going to suffucate. You try to scream and can't.
