Paralysis

I found myself running up a long stairway. I became lucid as I continue running up but began to realize that the dream was ending soon. I tried to fly out the window on the building I was in and then all of a sudden everything went black. I could not see anything and realize I was soon to wake up. I decided to hold on to my awareness as I felt myself lying in bed. Ik new I was in a different state as I could feel my consciousness slipping. Soon I felt the same vortex slide me out of my sleeping body and in to somewhere else. I continue to hold on to my awareness as I felt myself being transported somewhere else and soon I began to see visuals. I was in my old city town house. Laying in my bed, still unable to move due to the transition process and just to make sure I do not wake up. I felt it complete itself and knew it was ok to get up from the bed. It work I told myself. I got up and began going to the back door and slide right through it. Outside was damp with a little rain. I decided I wanted to interact with my DC's as I plan to have a very in depth conversation with my Subconscious the next time I visit. I began running in till I see the first person I could encounter. It was an old woman with an umbrella. She was walking slowly, I approach her ask what was her purpose in life or what has she accomplished. I had a hard time coming up with these thoughts even though in waking life it would have been easy. Now I am beginning to understand the difference of my mental state compare to my waking self. She responded in a odd and confusing manner which seems to be the case for dream characters. She said "The hell of something " or in terms not much of anything. So I quickly decided to move on to the next person as I did not want to waste time. She seem displeased and now wanted to talk more but as I continue running off I told her it is ok. I saw a huge crowd and wanted to talk to as many of them as I can. I see they were surrounding this guy who look to be 6ix9ine. I approach him and ask him what was his purpose here. He seemed to be in a frenzy as people tried to get all over him so he pointed his hand to a direction and began running there. So many people bump in to me that I lost control of the dream and was back in the void. I had two choices, hold on to my awareness and wait for another transition or wake up. I knew I needed to take care of stuff in waking life so I opted to wake up this time.
