I Had a Night Terror :(

Had a night terror last night, Alex (my roommate) woke up to use the bathroom that’s just outside my bedroom at 4am and the creaking bathroom door echoed my dream where I was also in bed and I turned and slowly woke up but didn’t realize I was actually waking irl. I saw a creepy female figure in my room and she was talking to me in a sweet but hiss -like voice with outstretched arms. I went full fight or flight - and apparently I’m all fight - and launched myself swinging at her. I threw a punch at her face and crashed into the wall and then realized it wasn’t real. It took me a second for my brain to fully wake up but then I realized how dumb it all was and laughed as I got back in bed. Poor Alex was super concerned because apparently I had screamed while charging the figure!
