Nightmare Trigger

I knew I was dreaming after all. It looked real, but felt fake like... well I can't explain it, I could remember that I went to bed and now it's daytime and I'm standing in my front yard. I wanted to test something, usually I test with flight, but I didn't know how much time I had left before I wake, so I decided to see if I could trigger something within my mind. I wanted to see if I could turn my dream into a nightmare with just a thought. I said to myself "Nightmare activate." Lights went dim like I was on a stage, but I was still in my front yard and I could see it was night time now. "That was cool," I thought to myself. Next thing I wanted to do was turn my dream back on before something goes wrong, but I couldn't the night was still young and dark, very, very dark. "Nightmare off," I shouted. Still no change occurred, I thought to myself that maybe I turned it back to a dream, but it was just still dark, but I felt uneasy, like I do in all my nightmares, I could sense my own fear as I felt chills run down my spine... The problem is I shouldn't feel anything, but I felt cold and afraid, I hated the feeling and I wanted it too stop, so I shouted again. "Nightmare off!" It failed again and the feeling became worse as I heard footsteps come towards me, I turn around to see who it is, but I see no one, but I felt a presence as the person came closer and closer until a shady man in the dark came with a sack and threw it over my head. I shouldn't be afraid, because it wasn't real, but I was and I awoke in my bed drenched in sweat. "Oh god, a shadow figure in my nightmares, that is just freaking wonderful," I sarcastically stated before falling asleep again, but this time a normal dream and I didn't know I slept.
