this could literally be a form of sleep paralysis. You seem interested so I'll explain how it happens/why.
From what I've learnt, dreams are produced by your brain releasing a chemical called DMT when you sleep.
I can't remember the specifics too well, but you basically go through a few stages in your sleep cycle. so a rough idea would be like;
1. you lay in bed ready for sleep
2. after about an hour your body naturally paralyzes you (a safety mechanism so if u havin a wild dream you don't hurt yourself by accident)
3. like 2-3 hours your body is fully paralyzed, your brain starts pumping out the DMT
4. (this is where it gets complicated/mind fucky) your dreams are made up of your thoughts and your subconscious mind that are then projected around you by the DMT and your conscious self experiences them.
( i dunno this is hard to explain, the easiest way I could put it, is your dreams are pretty much an Oculus rift, but you see whatever the f--- is going on in your subconscious mind, if that makes sense)
5. the cycle comes to end and your body prepares for the wake up. What typically happens is, the DMT stops, then your body is no longer paralyzed, then you open your eyes and wake up
-Sleep Paralysis is where your brain makes a "mistake" i guess you could say. What happens is instead of going in that order, you wake up, but because your body is still in sleep paralysis it tricks your brain into thinking your still asleep. so your conscious self is now experiencing your dreams within real life - which is why it is so f---ing terrifying because it is 100% real without a doubt in your mind.

SO like, i dunno, maybe your experience was some variation of that? without the paralysis part? I mean, I know myself and a lot of other people see strange things at times when we just wake up, or wake up at night and go for a piss like yourself. Like when i learnt about sleep paralysis and s---, i honestly thought that a lot of those "i was asleep in bed and aliens abducted me" things were just sleep paralysis. Like, I can't explain to you how real it feels when you experience it. That's why I find it so crazy.

it's weird. It's a crazy experience so i'm glad it happened when I look back and when I think about it it's really not that bad. But it's whole different thing when you're actually experiencing it going "oh s--- this is real!"

Legitimate answer

Back in my teenage years I went to church a lot, and we were really close with one of the youth pastors so we would always hang out there on Saturday nights because he had a key (lol Tommy you loser hanging at a church on Saturdays) and we would play hide and seek because the old part of the church was supposedly haunted. Well me and my buddy went up in the old church to hide there and there was a bunch of chairs surrounded around the podium in a circle and it had never been like that before so we went to find everyone else to show them and we went back down there, everything was turned over
