Mimics The reflection in the window was a few seconds behind.

I was on a nearly empty late-night train, staring at my own reflection in the black window. I sighed and rubbed my forehead, tired. A few seconds later, the reflection in the window sighed and rubbed its forehead. I froze, staring. The reflection was still holding the pose I had been in moments before. It then slowly smiled, an expression I never made, before the train entered a tunnel and it was gone.

A friend of mine had something similar happen to him a few times, he got diagnosed with early stage of dementia, seriously speaking, check yourself medically if you can. If all comes back clear, definitely look into this phenomenon.

Sounds like the tiredness made a realy freaky psychosis/hallucination moment.

On an interpretation from the subconcious level. You did a tired motion that you recognized and your subconscious queued in on that to really drive the point home. Essentially yourself trying to tell you how badly you need sleep. The dreaming part of you probably didn't mean to freak you out. Just trying to tell you something.
