I just kinda open my eyes and that's how I escape
for me that's when the nightmare begins
Keep opening your eyes until you escape
You've heard of sleep paralysis?
Some of us get that dream effect (eyes open, dream reality overlaid over real reality) but without paralysis.
Opening your eyes? They're already open and the dream is running
Getting out of bed? Touch hallucinations may become part of it
Usually turning on a light gets me out. That or time
Now that just sounds like garden variety psychosis lmao
I can't really put it into words but I just randomly (?) have this thought of "certainly not" and have the feeling of "this has got to be a bad dream... Oh wait, it's actually a bad dream, why am I still here at all".
I just don't always manage to.
That's how my "I'm stuck in my own bed and can't move or talk" nightmare usually begins.
