Disorientation due to paralysis I just woke up from a dream. I was dreaming that I'd woken up from the nap I was having because I could hear the dog crying and it sounded like she was really close but I looked around and I couldn't find her. In reality, the dog was crying right next to my head but I hadn't actually woken up. And, to top weirdness upon weirdness, when I realized this, I was still dreaming and I couldn't make myself wake up!. I was definitely paralyzed, but I think this probably happens all the time to keep people from sleepwalking. I couldn't open my eyes even though I knew it was all a dream and I was trying to wake up. It was all very disorienting. |
