A few minutes ago I suddenly woke up , I didn’t sleep well

At the beginning everything was normal , then I blinked and …

The lighting suddenly became more yellow (and unnatural) and the closet I was looking at turned into a frightening and shocking appearance (the closet itself, it was vandalized in a way that I can’t even remember to describe). I remained in shock for three or four seconds, then I found myself closing my eyes tightly ( it was an involuntary reaction ), and when I opened my eyes again, everything returned to normal.

This is the first time in my life that this has happened to me

So … any scientific explanation?

Thanks in advance

    I’ve had similar things as a child (normally related to overheating in bed) and a couple of times as an adult due to anxiety. Your brain hasn’t totally woken up and you’re still dreaming whilst your senses are working. We all know dreams incorporate what’s going on around us (Hence the joke about eating giant marshmallows in your dreams and the waking to find your pillows have gone), but rarely is sight involved.

    It’s really freaky, rather disturbing, but nothing to worry about. Just get better sleep.
