Outside of body Dream

A couple of weeks ago I had a dream where I was almost like watching my self sleep. In the dream I could see my self sleeping but then it switched into a first person and a black tall figure walked up towards me and I grabbed my blanket to cover my face while I screamed. I woke up because my sister heard me screaming and woke me up. When I woke up I was in the exact same position I was sleeping in when I was dreaming with the blanket towards my face, hyperventilating with tears running down my face making it feel like it wasn’t really a dream at all. I can’t sleep in that position anymore without being scared it will happen to me again. Just recently my friend had a very similar experience. Is there any meaning of this or is it just a night terror?
