So I got home from school at like 2 and went straight upstairs to take a nap. It was off and on sleeping, I think I had one dream, but I woke up at like 4 and was reflecting on that dream when I realized I was slipping back to sleep except I could not move myself into not falling asleep. So I was wiggling my toes trying to wake up when my eyes finally closed and I was in this state of mind awake body asleep. I could see the outline of some girl's blue face as I could hear these ringing noises from probably one of The Weeknd's songs. Before I even realized it, my legs were moving and I was running down a hallway with a bunch of doors. Everything started to become very vivid as I kept thinking about this being a dream, but I could not stop thinking of how I could not move my arms and then my legs stopped as well, then I woke up. The problem I have with WILDs is that I cannot help but think that I am really in my bed as the dream is forming at first, so I cannot move at all.
