Well, I haven’t posted here in ages, and I probably won’t post for ages again. But here it goes. I just took a little nap and had a weird, weird dream, along with some weird associated experiences. Here is the part the general public gets to see. Don’t worry, it wasn’t too sexual.
All of the sudden my eyes were open. Physically open, I think. I tried to move my limbs but I couldn’t. In real life now, I THINK. I figured this was sleep paralysis. But on my wall I saw projected the movie, it was flickering a bit like it was on a movie theater screen or something. Again, I figured this was sleep paralysis, some sort of hallucination. There was pressure on my hands, maybe imagined but they might have been clasped together under the pillow (The feeling, however, was of my hands around the girl - something from the dream). Quickly, the image of the movie disappeared on my wall, and I regained the ability to move my limbs. I was looking at the wall which touches my bed, just lying there. It’s unclear to me what really happened there, when I was conscious and when I wasn’t.
What I know is that I saw the movie projected on the wall, and when the hallucination disappeared, I was left with the regular wall. So either 1) my brain knew what the wall looked like to begin with, or filled in the gaps after I opened my eyes or 2) I was semi-dreaming with my eyes open. I BELIEVE that I opened my eyes earlier, and so the hallucination left me, I regained control over my body, and there I sat. I wondered, as this was happening, if my eyes were really open. I seem to recall opening them, then seeing the hallucination.
I’m not sure if that makes me want to nap more or less.
The focus here is not on the dream but on what the fuck happened. It’s called sleep paralysis. You can google for it, and if you’re really adventurous you can google groups for it. What’s unclear to me is if I’m experiencing sleep paralysis or I’m just imagining it. Well, you judge.
