Today, a very interesting and scary phenomenon happened to me. I decided to take a quick nap on the couch in the parlour. It was still very much daytime. Soon, I had a lucid dream. But here’s the catch: the setting was in the exact room that I fell asleep in. So for the duration of the dream, I was convinced that it was actually happening and I had simply woken up from my nap. In the dream, my buddy called me, and my stepmom came home with some pizza. But once I decided to get up from the couch (I had fallen asleep with my legs hanging off of it, and it was the same way in the dream), I could move my legs all I wanted, and I saw them kick around, but I could not actually lift my body from the couch. At first, I thought I was high or drunk (but was confused because I was completely sober), and eventually I did this weird thing where I could get off and see myself on the couch but I wouldn’t actually be off the couch. After I stopped trying to move, I would revert to being on the couch. Then I tried again really really hard to get up and couldn’t do it and became mortified for about a minute, until the fear actually woke me out of my sleep.

Scariest thing ever.
