CW: Kind of disturbing (at least to me)
Have you ever had a dream where you can't open your eyes?
No matter how hard you try, they're just too heavy to open.
Or maybe you can open them just a smidge, just a squint, having to hold them open with your hands.
Or maybe you can only open one eye for a few seconds at a time, getting tiny glimpses of things being wrong.
Have you ever had a dream where you can't move?
Maybe you're lying in bed, thinking about getting up and walking out, but your limbs aren't cooperating.
Maybe you think you've gotten up but you open your eyes and find out you haven't moved an inch.
Maybe you want to talk but your mouth won't open, only making hushed whispers.
Have you ever had a dream where you hear something but see nothing?
Maybe you heard a hiss, like one of your cats, from behind you but nothing is there when you check.
Maybe you heard a door slam across the house, despite nobody being in.
Maybe you heard your mother's voice, even though you know full well she's at work.
All three just happened to me.
I have no idea what even happened. I was just trying to sleep, ended up having some combination of these examples happen, woke up and went back to sleep only for it to happen again.
Im not going back to sleep but maybe tumblr can explain what my experience was?
