Paralysis

I was in my bed unable to move, and I started to get really frustrated. Eventually, I began realizing I was in sleep paralysis (although my thinking was still very fuzzy). As I calmed my self down, my body began sliding off the bed- I made sure that I ended up on my feet though. I walked toward my mirror and caught a faint reflection of myself without a shirt (accurate). I decided to jump through the 2nd story window although part of me was not sure if it was real life, so I was a little bit hesitant. As I jumped through and began flying, I got this amazing feeling- this sense of freedom that I was actually dreaming. I remembered that I needed to tell ST that I was dreaming so I started flying toward where I thought she lived (in my head at the time, she lived a couple blocks away). As I came over the elementary school, my brain interpreted it as being the middle school and I quickly got distracted. I decided I was going to mess with the kids and take whatever I wanted out of the cafeteria. I started eating hamburgers for some reason, and joking around with the lady working behind the counter. I started using the word "dream" in different contexts, but it started to really piss her off (like in inception). The dream started to lose clarity, so I knew I should just leave her alone. I started heading down the walkway, then saw a girl I recognized from one of my classes. I wanted to see what she would say if I started talking to her, but the dream became fuzzier, and I woke up.
