A frightening dream experience and a powerful reminder

Assalamu alaikum, I hope everyone is well. I wanted to share something that really shook me up, and I’m being completely serious about this. I had a really intense nightmare. At first, I saw someone encouraging me that reading the Quran is truly beneficial. Then, images of Quran pages flashed before my eyes. Suddenly, I was in this dark, empty space at night with a road stretching far ahead. In the dream, I saw a figure that is often depicted in certain ways, and it started reciting Surah Yusuf. But when I tried to listen closely, it gave me the most terrifying stare I’ve ever seen. Then, it began playing some kind of game with another person who appeared from a house on the road. Everything felt surreal and unsettling. Then I woke up, and at first I heard heavy, unsettling breathing, followed by an incredibly loud, high-pitched screeching sound right by my ear-not screams, but a piercing noise that would stop and then start again. I moved my fingers to make sure I wasn’t paralyzed, and I immediately recited Surah Al-Falaq, Surah An-Nas, and Surah Al-Ikhlas. As soon as I said ‘A’udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim,’ everything went completely silent. Now I’m too scared to go back to sleep. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences?
