Paralysis

1:42 p.m. I thought I was awake. I was on the bed. I can feel the bed. I can feel my body. I can see my room. The light was in. But I move my arm in front of me and I cannot see it. I cannot move it or cannot see it. Am I getting blind? I can see my right arm move via my right eye. Realized it is a sleep paralysis. I willed myself to wake up. No go. I am starting to panic. I locked my door, so no one can come in and help me. I moved but my eyes are still faulty. Afraid. How can I live with a bad eyesight? I thought up dozens of ways to live. I am hearing the audio playing in the background. I want to wake up. But I cannot. I am still in the in between. I tried moving my body and feet. I can still hear the audio. I moved my right arm and took the phone so I can change the audio; did not work. I am still asleep. Relaxed somehow. I just have to wait it out. Went into a semi-aware dream. Moved in the "room" and did capoeria moves. I jumped-crunched. McDo. Meeting all N2. <PERSON>. BP nearby. Change of venue. Closer. Checked my body on bed. Still cannot move. I was on the bed trying to move. I can but not awake. Finally woke up completely. Moved my arms, checked my room.
