i was asleep and i heard a terrible noise and woke up. i woke up hut i couldn't move. try and try, but still couldn't move. then i realized that i was still asleep and i wake up. but i still can't move and the noises are wierder, i can't move my head to look at where they are coming from. then i wake up again. i can almost move but not very much, and i need to wake up again! eventually the cycle ends and i really do wake up, but since it took me so long to ger back to sleep before the nightmare, i don't open my eyes. i just lay there eyes closed, somehow knowing that i am awake, i can feel my heart beating way to fast. i can hear my breathing, i realize my mouth is open so i close that. i don't move for a long time and i go back to sleep.
all within about an hour and a half before i now have to ger up for work. nice.
