the dream

i was having a bad nights sleep. the boyf has been ill and makes alot of noise, takes up alot of bed and gives off alot of heat. i love him but its the truth. id finally managed to get off to sleep and was dreaming pretty vividly, but what i really remember is being in my kitchen, it faces down the drive and sees the top of the drive clearly. there are unmovable electric gates at the bottom. it was light and i was in the kitchen on my own, i see something out of the bottom window and go to see, theres something coming up the drive, i can see someone carrying ladders, i go to the other window which looks to the top of, and theres a man in his 60s or so, setting up a ladder against the corner wall to the right, next to my garage door, looking out onto the back garden, this in it self is ridiculous seeing as theres a flight of stone steps about 4 or 5 paces back from where hes set up the ladder. i race to the living room, where my parents are watching tv, they only do this when its evening or they're really bored and watching an old movie. i tell dad theres a man on our property, getting up a ladder, dad tells me hes been here often but not to worry, the guys not real, hes a ghost, i race back along the house to the kitchen and the mans playing a bugle now. it scares me. then i'm threatened by something or someone, something bad. someones coming after me, because i know.
what i know i'm clueless but i woke up shaking with fright, and said to the boyf, 'i'm scared' he woke up immediately, and pulled an arm round me, i wrapped myself around him but was still sacred and shaking and looking for whatever was coming for me. i wasn't calming down much, he turned me round and locked me in a spoon and i relaxed and eventually fell asleep. he was awake til id dropped off. bless him.
that was unusual for me tho i've been having many many nightmares recently. i, a couple of months ago, woke my mum up (but not myself) screaming in my sleep.

i'm freaked out and scared now from recalling it. its utterly irrational. i don't get it. help!
