Paralysis

Last night was the first night in I think a week that I was able to fall asleep quickly, I got atleast a good 7 hours of sleep and it also seems like I am not that tired throughout the day. Vividness is slowly returning as I had 1 dream tonight and I am hoping on getting more. I am also glad that I will be able to sleep a bit longer tomorrow. 1. A herring-thief! I was in the storage room of a supermarket and it seemed like in the store itself a party was about to start because the first herring of the season would be presented. Infront of me was the herring on a plate, I took a bite and felt like I was a thief and had ruined the whole party that was about to commence. It was then when a woman of the store walked into the storage room with a crowbar and violently smacked me on the head. As the crowbar made contact with my skull I did not see it through my own eyes but suddenly I looked through a camera that floated infront of me filming my face. I could see a lot of blood coming out of the deep cut the blow carved into my forehead. I fell to the ground in agony and partially paralysed, she ran away and I laid there looking through my own eyes again at the herring on the ground. I could barely move and was very disoriented but knew I had to run away before the police came. I stumbled across the room and pushed a door open, suddenly I am in my backyard which is surounded with high fences. (IRL too) I thought about quickly climbing over them and felt a strong sensation of stress, fortunatly my alarm went of at this point waking me up. I might try a WBTB tonight with a MILD or SSILD technique.
