Peculiar Things Happening, Family Says It's My Imagination

I have a story for you all from last night. Yesterday my dog would not stop barking all night. I was in total darkness, and I just focused my eyes on the darkness. I swear I saw a dark figure in a hooded cloak pass by my room. Either that was a shadow or I'm crazy. And then it got more peculiar, my dog came right next to my room and started to bark some more. He was looking up at the wall, barking at it. Of course me being me I said loudly for whatever was there to leave, and my dog stopped barking. This was around 11pm. And then I went back to sleep. Now here's where I got freaked out. I had a dream with my lover in it and he was playing a video game and I didn't like the game because it made me feel uneasy. Turns out I dreamed that the game's characters were trying to abduct me! I was half awoken to something or someone pulling my legs from out of my bed covers, pulling me towards the floor. I grabbed on to one of my bedposts. After about a minute, I felt the same pulling sensation again but this time instead of being pulled down I was being pulled up! I jerked my leg and still grabbing on to the bedpost, I made a white aura of light around me, I had my eyes closed and from under my eyes I saw a bright white flash of light! This lasted for about 5 seconds. And then everything went calm, and I fell into a deep sleep again. Now I don't know if I really experienced this or not because I was 75% asleep when this happened to me. I told my parents what happened to me in the morning, and my mother wrote it off as it's my imagination and that I'm watching too many horror movies. I told her that I seriously felt myself being dragged, that I can't forget how it felt. She said I was crazy, and my dad, who is more open to what I said, said it was just a lucid dream. I'd love to think that, but a small part in the back of my head says that it was real. Even though I was mostly asleep. I don't know what to think. I am unharmed.
