This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Last night, I had a nightmare. The nightmare itself wasn't very horrifying but what I saw when I woke up was. I saw a pair of brown, withered hands lying next to my head, and they disappeared in a blink. Earlier that day, I watched a horror movie, so I guess that caused me to have the nightmare, but I wasn't sure if those hands were part of it. Since the light was on while I was sleeping, I could clearly see the hands. They cringed and disappeared when it noticed that I was awake. However, the way they disappeared looked digital. Maybe I was still in a dream.

I'd end with "Maybe I was still dreaming". If I stuck with your word order, I'd use "the dream" at the end.
 
Yes, you were still dreaming. Those hands weren't really there.

@Maybo You have a vivid imagination. You should consider writing a novel. 😊
