Was it a ghost???

It's only around 8 in the morning but a little while ago I woke up crying, sobbing over a nightmare I had about my boyfriend. When I woke up, he comforted me and then he had to go make our daughter a bottle. I was laying in bed, one of my arms stretched out and the other over my eyes, and I felt something sit on the foot of our bed. I thought it was my boyfriend, so I looked up but nothing was there. It's been about 20 minutes and I'm still shaken up about it...
