I go wandering the woods in a nightgown

I have emphasized the important elements of my dream for my own reference.
It was the middle of the day and I was at my house. I walked away from my house in my bare feet wearing a nightgown. I walked through into the forest. I came to a very wide dirt road. I crossed it quickly back into the cover of the forest because I was afraid someone would see me. Next I had to cross a small clearing that was next to a highway. There were some hikers there that I really didn't want to talk to. I hurried across the clearing and down the small incline that was next to the forest.

I hesitated momentarily: it was getting late and I knew my parents would be worried when they found out I was gone from the house. They would also be furious and think I was stupid for wandering away in a nightgown. Maybe I could just stay out here until they found me and fake like someone had kidnapped me so that they wouldn't be mad. No, that was stupid. 

I turned around to head home and was startled that one of the hikers was standing there (The rest of the hikers were standing some distance away) just above me at the top of the incline (and I was at the bottom). He offered me his jacket. I thanked him and sat down on the ground in the loose, sandy dirt, wondering how I could explain myself to him. This was exactly what I had wanted to avoid by avoiding people, this awkward conversation when they asked what I was doing in the woods looking like this. I looked up at this man, he hadn't seemed to notice my clothing just yet because he was talking on his phone. 

I felt sure that he was about to call the police and report that a strange girl was wandering the woods in her nightgown. I considered making a run for it. 

Then I woke up.
