Anybody help me unravel what this dream means?

I had this bizarre experience last night dreaming. I felt quite frightened and unsettled.

In this dream I was in my own house in my own bedroom and it was dark, exactly as I actually was when dreaming it. There was a man called Andrew who came round. I must have known him, because he was familiar, and he must have come round to help me with something but I don’t know why he would do that in the middle of the night. He had long hair and a beard. I don’t know anyone in real life like this or anyone called Andrew. He tried it on with me and I told him to stop it that I wasn’t interested and he said I had given him signals that I fancied him and I told him I hadn’t.

What is weird about this is that I kept waking up, knowing what was happening wasn’t real, but went back to sleep and found myself in the same situation in the same room and house I was actually in. My cats were in the dream as well. Then I noticed there was water coming through the ceiling. I’ve dreamed about water coming through the ceiling before and been scared, and very relieved to have woken up. I also had problems getting ready, having a shower, finding clean towels and shower gel or shampoo and running out of time to get ready, I have also dreamed this before.

This Andrew kept asking me for a “snuggle” or a “cuddle” and I knew I had to keep the right side of him as I needed him to sort out the mess or stop the water running through the ceiling and wrecking the house. I kept on waking up, telling myself I didn’t need to be scared as it was only a dream, then falling back to sleep and returning into the dream again in the same place I actually was. I can’t work this out at all.

Reading the people’s comments about the Uncanny show it felt a bit like that, though I know this wasn’t supernatural but it could be coming from my subconscious.

According to my quick look online, dreaming about a water leak can be about feeling overwhelmed in life, by stress, anxiety, etc. Unwanted sexual advances can also be linked to stress and anxiety disorders.

I've had dreams where I certainly feel as though I've woken up then gone back to sleep with the dream continuing.

Do you have a lot on your mind at the moment? Dreams are linked to the subconscious.

Yes I do! Absolutely tons going on and so busy, overwhelmed and not enough time to do things, and lots of work related stress including redundancy threats.
