weirdest sleep paralysis of my life
(i just woke up and have horrible jet lag so bare with me here)
i’m staying in new york city rn, and in my hotel i’m sleeping on a couch since i share the room with my brother and sister. just right now i was trying to go to sleep at around 4 and i eventually did and let me tell you the dream i had rn.
so right when i slept, my dream is me with my family at a pizza place and we’re ordering pizza, soon i go off on my own and find my aunt and uncle just sitting there while my cousin is leaving, i went to go say hi and my uncle greeted me like how he usually does. there’s also a door right by them and it opens and i see someone that looks exactly like me, like a doppelganger of me, then someone that looks like this girl i dated a while back. i soon pinched my doppelgangers face and went to go tap the person that looked like my ex’s face and both didn’t react at all. i soon left the pizza place and went outside and found my ex (the real one not the identical looking one) walking out with the rest of my school friends. we both talk and suddenly my dream just blacks out. i don’t know what happened but everything just stopped, kinda like the wifi going out. soon my dream came back and i’m in this restroom thing? it kinda looked like an old map of freddy fazbears pizza so i assume i’m back in the pizza place. there’s this big hole in the wall and walking in the hole is this animal. it looks like a cat, but was making dog noises. stupid, i know. but it was a white or yellow cat, and while it was coming through the hole, i start calling it and petting it and it was barking, which makes me think the animal might’ve been a dog, but i can’t really remember. i’m calling the animal, petting it and it has the same bark as my dog that recently passed and the one i have right now that’s still alive. all of the sudden, i get this grief feeling. i start feeling nostalgic and miss my old dog that’s not alive anymore. i said in my dream that i miss him (my dead dog) and i ended up pinching my finger. soon, i can’t move. i can hardly speak and hardly do anything and i’m just stuck. sleep paralysis has been getting more and more common for me and i don’t know why. this is the weirdest one of all. i can’t move and i’m trying to scream and i eventually did. while this is happening, i feel like i’m floating. i feel like i’m being lifted up in the air, even though i can’t move my own body willingly. while this is happening, i’m also trying to open my eyes. i see my hotel room and it looks bright outside. i’m trying to force myself to wake up and at the very last moment, a child’s voice whispers in my ear saying “thank you”. then i woke up in a sweat and it’s 5 AM and the sun is barely coming up.
i don’t know what happened and i’m still taking it all in. why was i at a pizza place? why was my ex there? why was there someone that looked like me? why didn’t they react when i touched them? why did my dream black out? why did i feel like floating? why was there an animal and why did it sound like my dead dog? why did a little kid whisper me “thank you” when i woke up? who knows.
not making this shit up either. this happened right now. if anyone has explanations please tell me.
