I have recently started having this fear of sleeping and it all stemmed from a dream I had six months ago.?

This dream terrified me because it seemed so real and at first I was scared of being alone in the house but that quickly passed. Now, I am scared of going to sleep because I suddenly fear that I will have a similar dream. This fear also stems from the fact that I reside in a very superstitious society and some people have lead me to believe that the dream was not in fact a dream but an actual occurrence. Every time I am in bed, sounds terrify me. I am only sixteen and this sucks! Does anyone have any idea how to help me?
