I was in Pittsburgh and I do not live there anymore, so I knew I was in a dream. I was playing a video game and taking a test to see if I have any mental health problems, and my brother <PERSON> was there, and I realized I was dreaming. I found my mom and dad they were together (in real life they are divorced), and I was scared for my health because i was asleep and knew I was dreaming, and they wrote something down on a piece of paper and told me to take a cab to a hospital. Suddenly I was outside, and I remembered to ask myself, Am I still dreaming? Yes was the answer. So I decided to practice my back flip. In real life I land kind of on my knees when I do it without a spotter, and on my feet bent legs but my hands reach out and touch the ground when I do it with a spotter. At first I could not do it, but then I managed to do a back flip, and I landed on my feet and then fell back down to the ground and hit my head, and I tried to sit up and stand up but I could not, all I could do was lift my head up off the ground. But I knew it was just a dream and I woke up soon after that, but still it left me afraid that doing a back tuck in real life would leave me paralyzed for life. I know in heaven <PERSON> would heal me and that this dream was just a warning to be careful and to only do it on a big soft mat or into a foam pit and with a spotter.
