    I was on the brink of sleep.
    I could feel myself just kind of drifting away.
    Then I saw some doors, and a man.
    He stopped, stared at me.
    And then walked quickly on his way.
    He was more like a shadow then a man.
    It only lasted a couple seconds.
    But I woke with a jolt, and was just SO scared.
    More scared than I've ever woken up from a dream.

    Help, please?

    This is a common type of hypnagogic hallucination, a hallucination that you have as you are falling asleep, halfway between being asleep and being awake. (A hypnompic hallucination is a situation that you have when you are waking up.)

    It's common to hallucinate a scary figure during a hypnopompic hallucination, and to have a feeling of intense fear.

    People experience similar hallucinations during sleep paralysis.
