A dark figure

I forget how this situation arose, but I find myself being held captive in my own house by a group of people I cannot remember. The thing is, no one is pointing a gun to my head or anything. I could leave, but for some reason I am afraid to. There is some real psychological issues to unravel in this one. I become lucid when I meet a woman who I have seen in the past as a hypnotherapist - only she does not look or sound like her. It is night, and she tells me that we should just get up and leave. I know this is a slightly nightmarish dream by now, so I decide to go with her, just to see what would happen. Despite knowing this is a dream, I am still hesitant to leave. Like I am not supposed to do this or something. We just walk out of the door without any opposition and get in her car. She drives us away and chats to me as she does so. The streets are empty. I am really nervous for some reason. I look into the rear view mirror and I see the silhouette of a man in the road behind us in the distance. He seems to flit in and out of view. He looks like he is wearing some tribal headdress - like a bear-skin or something. The hypnotherapist notices that I am staring into the mirror and has a look herself. 'Oh yeah,' she says, 'it looks like there is a man behind us.' This was the point where I woke up.
