see me paralyzed

i had sleep paralysis when i woke up this morning. it’s the second time it’s happened to me– the first was when i was a junior in high school. briefly, this is when you become awake but your motor functions, and sometimes thoughts, are controlled by your dream state. the first time only my motor functions were disabled. when i tried to move a part of my body a wave of tingling went from that part of my body to and up my spine. this time i (dreamed) someone had broken into my apartment. it was so frightening i couldn’t speak. it only took a couple seconds, though, and i snapped out of it and woke up. i only have one other friend who has ever experienced this. if you have, you’re not crazy– it’s just rare.
