So I wake up from my nap and find myself "unable to move" and like there's something holding me back/strangling me. Across the room stands a huge black shape that doesn't really look like anything so I don't really pay too much attention to it. Faint faint numbers/text also appear to to dance over the screen of my lappy besides me, but that's not really too interesting either. The fact that I'm feeling pulled at felt a lot more urgent and I struggle to move my arms. Eventually I succeed, and it turns out the "thing holding me back" was just my hair that had laid itself across the front of my neck and my the thing on my necklace that had gotten stuck behind my back and was pushing against my neck in a way that made it a tiny bit hard to breathe. I look around the room again. The black shape I might or might not have seen is no longer there, and my laptop looks fine. I don't feel fine tho.
At first I just figured this was one of those weird semi-lucid dreams I sometimes have (as in I am conscious in the dream, but I'm not aware that I'm dreaming nor can I control them), but now I'm starting to wonder..
Could that have been sleep paralysis?
No matter what, it's probably going to be a while before I'll dare to sleep with the lights off like this again... >->'
