What the hell happened?!
Yesterday I took a nap in the afternoon and something very strange happened.
I was in my parents' bedroom, on their bed, lying on my back, head on pillow... Seemingly suddenly, I seem to have lost control of my body. Despite wanting to get up, I couldn't. I wanted to scream but I wasn't uttering a sound. I couldn't even alter my breathing. What's more, I could feel my heartbeat and once every two heartbeats I would feel a pulse through my entire body and noticed my fingers and hands started to get numb as that happened. My breathing was slowing down and I was scared that it was going to stop where I would go anoxic and die. But then I could move again and with all the willpower I could muster, got myself out of bed, staggering as I did, and tried to call for help. I knew that my mother and younger brother were nearby, I had heard them, but they weren't coming which was very strange.
Then I woke up on my bed in my campus room, though still feeling frightened. That was all a dream? But it felt so real... I cannot recall another time where I had a dream or a nightmare that felt so real... What the hell was that? Looking back on it, the part of feeling my body pulse once every two heartbeats and feeling my extremities go numb as that happened had to be the most terrifying of the experience.
After I calmed down, I tried to reproduce the experience but to no avail.
