Paralysis
I am walking down a dark street in my hometown when I suddenly realize that I was trying to sleep just a moment ago. I pinch my nose and sure enough, I can breathe. I have quite the clear mind and I remember saying to myself that this dream is fairly vivid. I see my sister running but I do not bother to ask her about the reason behind that and I just try to go do something else. I turn around and I, for some reason, think that I really should stabilize the dream before going about my business. At about the same time, my vision starts to blur as I suddenly become able to see my nose in the middle of my field of vision; It is quite annoying and causes the dream to destabilize even more and I end up in the void (It is CanisLuicidus who coined the term, not me ). I proceed to do the exact opposite of what I should do: I panic. The dream starts to fade more and more and I cannot figure out what should I do to stabilize it and end up waking up. I can feel my body now, though it feels quite strange. I think that I am in sleep paralysis so I try to take advantage of the situation; I try to visualize the dream scene but my mind is filled is random thoughts and I find it hard to clear my mind so I give up and wake up for good.
