could it really have been just a dream?

when I lived at my sisters house i used to sleep on the couch. while i was there i always used to feel like something was watching me, but i usually just ignored it. one day after i had come home from work i walked into the house and since no one was there i sat down and turned on the tv. i was going to put something on but just then i started to feel extremely tired. right then and there i decided to lay down and throw a blanket over me and fall fast asleep.
when i fell asleep it had been mid day and the sun was still bright outside. all of a sudden from behind me i heard the toilet flush. my eyes snapped open and i remembered i was alone in the house, which was a much darker color than when i fell asleep, like it looked like it was probably around 8pm when i must have fallen asleep at around two. throwing the covers off me i sat up and looked around. nobody was in the house. my first thought was to flee. i stood up and walked around the couch heading towards the front door. i felt like something was trying to hold me back, however and though my hand was outstretched i never made it to the door.
thats when i woke up. and that i knew something was wrong. it was still dark inside the house and i didnt understand how i could still be on the couch. this time i jumped back up and tried even harder to make it to the door. i think i was just a few inches away from being able to turn the handle when i woke up again.
I opened my eyes to see the house bright as day again. the tv was still on even though there was no movie playing. i looked at my phone and saw i couldnt have been asleep for more than thirty minutes. i sat up and realized i was soaked in sweat from sleeping in a blanket with all of my clothes on. shakily, i stood up for real this time and ran out of the front door to go upstairs to my sisters neighbors house. i remember feeling extremely scared and sick to my stomach.
this was over a year ago, and nothing like it has ever happened again. i have long since moved out of my sisters house. to this day i am still completely baffled by what happened. it was like there had been a veil over my eyes the whole time i was dreaming, and no matter how hard i tried i couldnt leave the house. can somebody tell me, is this how a ghost must feel when they are trapped in one space? could i have been temporarily possessed? or could it really have been just a dream? somebody please help me. thank you.
