I was lying down in bed, relaxing/ meditating trying to shut out the noises from the cars, taking a break in the middle of the workday essentially...I got into a very relaxed state, and pulled the comforter over me.....I looked at the alarm clock and fell asleep, all of a sudden I felt like I was having a dream within a dream is the best way to explain it.

 

In this dream I was awake in the present surroundings, I looked at the clock but did not take notice of the time, the sheets were deep blue and I felt like I was sitting up but my body was still lying down...I looked at my hand and arm and it was bizarre...I could see the blood coursing through the veins as if the skin was transparent for a moment...I was fearful but not scared at this point...I got up and walked to the lounge room and I felt i was awake and it almost felt like i had 2 pair of eyes...one real one, which kept bringing me back to the fact that I was on the bed, because I could see the blue sheets and alarm clock and the other was in the other room seeing things...

 

I started to get scared between the disparities in what I was seeing, was I awake or is this a dream...Every time I thought I was not dreaming and walking around, I realized in fact that my body was actually on the bed...I started to get very scared, as I couldn't seem to separate one reality from the illusion...

 

Things started to get out of hand, and I was starting to get really frightened, as I tried to pull my hand up to push myself up off the bed...I tried with all my might but didn't succeed...and yet my own body who was now on the stairs walking around was detached and very light...

 

I finally looked around for my real watch and compared the time on my real watch to the alarm clock which showed a time difference of an hour or so, and this seemed to shock my brain into waking up...I ""woke"" up but didn't consciously wake up as one would after a nights sleep this was a different kind of wake up, more like an acknowledgement of a changed state...I felt a little afraid, confused and very very tired...and a little blank.
