Paralysis

This is a late entry as this happened some few weeks ago, but I want to add it for a record as best I can remember it. As I drifted off on this particular sleep, I had not even noticed that I had actually fallen "asleep" at all. I was having a tired discussion with my girlfriend about nothing which would later resemble anything in this dream to be. My memory on this one is a bit foggy, but I remember I was walking down the street from my household with either my little brother or my son, I cannot remember for the life of me, when I realized I heard dogs. For some reason I knew they were pitbulls and I knew they were coming and that they were giants, and I would not be able to protect the child. It was at this point that I realized this was a dream and that giant pitbulls do not exist so I simply made them disappear. When I did the child disappeared and I started twirling; slightly ascending a few feet into the sky as if I were flying and then I snapped out of it and somewhat regained consciousness. I say somewhat because I was unable to move for a few moments and somehow mumbled or grunted something and awoke my girlfriend who later swore that she had not heard anything from me and had woken up on her own accord.

What stood out: paralysis
