Paralysis

I am having a hard time remembering how I got to understanding I was dreaming. I was in some room with many windows and a high ceiling. My understanding is that I am in some building that is supposed to be recreational for kids 10-18. So I am in this room, and I realize I am dreaming and there is no one else in the room. Immediately after I figure out this is a dream, the dream starts to collapse and the room is getting dark. I start shouting "clarity now!" as I am looking up at the ceiling that starts to get fuzzy and darker. The dream exits out and I am in dark matter alone with my thoughts. I am thinking to myself 'did I cease to exist? this is not right...' and then I feel my body land onto something under me. Of course it is me laying on my bed, but I cannot see anything and I am unable to move. I keep breathing heavily trying to wake myself up but nothing is working. Suddenly, I emerge into this really bright room sitting on a bed. The walls are covered with long streaks of blue, red, and orange and the ceiling seems to open up into the bright yellow sky. I take one look at this place and conclude that the last room I was in was simply a dream and that now I am actually awake. This place seemed too real to be a dream... this is experience was surprisingly very freaky and scary for the amount of stuff that did not happen.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
