Paralysis

An unusual spattering of dreams from this morning. Somebody was stepping on my crotch. It hurt. Later, there was an Occupy protest in my town. Somewhere in the world, 4 more people were killed, and <PERSON> was going to mention the fact. This brought the worldwide toll from 96 to 100, quite remarkable considering this was supposed to be a revolution - but mostly, of the mind. I am suffering from sleep paralysis, unable to turn my head more than 10 degrees, or was it 25? I am apparently facing up, grabbing my laptop and going on Twitter, tweeting about the fact I have "testicular" sleep paralysis. Well, my fingers still can move, but when I try to turn my head, I start shaking like a wildman. Shaking. Just shaking. Facade - a giant room, chandelier on the top, wooden with big gates at the sides. Some kind of medieval fortres or university. I go on my computer again, this time on the website Weather Underground. I see that there are two tropical systems: one near Australia, and another over western Lake Michigan. How unusual for this time of year. The Great Lakes storm's name is Isabel, retired in 2003. Here it is a tropical storm, about to do an outside loop, and track into my area in four days. By then, it will have weakened. That is odd - it actually is expected to rain Sunday. Later, or possibly earlier. I am reading some source material about <PERSON>'s, and hypermasculine disorders. Where have I encountered this before? I awake to the sound of my alarm.
