Shadow figures, what is the meaning of my nightmare?

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this when having nightmares. I dreamt I was in a dark room on a bed and there were 2 shadow figures, one was an adult and the other was a child sitting on the floor. They were both facing away from me and standing stillstaring at a old fashion tv with nothing beside loud black and white scribbles as if no antenna. The tv was the only source of light and I was behind them. I was so frightened I woke myself from the nightmare for several seconds and fell back to sleep. Isually when i do this it ends the nightmare but instead i was pulled back into the same nightmare. I woke myself a couple more times and the same thing happened until i sat myself up and woke myself fully. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I have searched the internet but cant find anything on this, is it only me?

You're dreaming about yourself. The two shadows are you.

The TV is just a symbol that you're looking for some kid of signal in your waking life but you're just not tuned in right.

The dark represents your subconscious.
