Paralysis

I took a nap this afternoon AND GOT LUCID. But I had next to no control... Anyway. My dream was very confusing. I remember this girl I had a crush on last year. I suggested we snuggled and she said sure. It was nice. Then, I had to go somewhere. There was a lot of running around, but I have the impression I was travelling in time too. Anyway, we were somewhere and I took her hand. She got uncomfortable and I let it go. I apologised, but then I was upset. So I walked around on my own and there were lots of creepy dolls everywhere. I blame Magic Kingdom's "It is A Small World". I was paralysed and that was when I realised I was dreaming. I laughed, but I could not move. I decided to wake myself up, so I forced my weight until I was falling to the ground. I could see my reflection at the door next to me. I was on the floor, my face looked like a doll. It was creepy... And I woke up.

What stood out: paralysis
