Anybody else have dreams that seem so realistic you can't believe they're not when you wake up?

I've had the same recurring nightmare for many many years, and I have no clue where it comes from. Details differ but the main theme and location is always the same;

I'm standing in a parking lot that I actually know, but the sky is a weird steel grey, but the surrounding houses and large tree on the left of my vision are pitch black. The parking lot itself is also grey. I stand upright and from the left of my vision a black, rather small creature appears. I can't really discern it's features; it's kinda blurry. It is about the size of a dog but moves upright. It moves to the right side of my vision, seemingly not noticing me. It doesn't move smoothly, but it's like it's teleporting or something. Like a video game with a bad fps. When it's at my right it moves it's head and glances at me. It's eyes are white. I feel myself falling over, unable to move, and usually when I would hit the concrete I find myself sitting right up screaming at the top of my longues, scaring my poor wife.

No idea where it comes from. I know the place of that dream, and u can't think of a native thing that ever happened to me there.
