Let me preface this with a few details. First off, I rarely dream, or at least if I do I rarely remember them, anymore. I strongly do NOT believe in ghosts and try not to be superstitious. Still, this "dream" has left me feeling a bit shaken due to a number of reasons that may or may not become clear reading it. Also, Mikki is my wife, for those that don't know.
So here's my dream, as I went through it in IRC. I'm too lazy to try retyping it.
Anyways, so like I said at the end. The way my body felt in the "dream" is how I awoke with my body feeling. As far as my memory is concerned, I'm almost not sure if there's any difference between the moments in my "dream" and when I "woke up". It all felt seamless.
So.... yeah...
EDIT: Also, another thing that made the "dream" feel real was the fact that during the entire thing I was able to think in my head just fine. It wasn't just the actions in the dream, I was actively thinking the entire time. Thinking of my options trying to figure out why my body wouldn't move even though I was telling it to, etc. I swear... everything was just way too real for me...

ugh
i feel so
...weird
i like
hmmm
had this "dream"
i couldn't get out of bed
move my arms
legs
most dreams you see yourself
i didn't
it was my view
from the bed
facing the ceiling
and i kept seeing these figures
humanish figures
shadow like
from the corner of my eye
appearing on the ceiling a bit
my thought was "ghost" and i wanted to get out of bed
to run
but i couldn't move
my arms
my legs
nothing
i could change where i was looking
but that's about it
and every time i'd look at that figure
my vision would get all darkish brown and distorted
think i heard some feint screaming
or something
but still
no matter what I tried
i couldn't move
then I was even able to close one of my eyes
and i noticed that figure was only in my left eye
so i closed it
tried looking to the left
where i saw it
nothing
Weird
so i tried reopening my left eye
and again
it's there
and every time i see it, EVERY time, since the first time, that same distorted brown vision
with the screaming
eventually i think to myself
that im able to move
but maybe i just can't feel my arms
and legs
and stuff
so i try moving them
assuming they are moving
trying to position them in front of my face
to make sure they work
nothing
then i tried moving myself
eventually i got the feeling i was moving
and sliding off the bed
thought i was
but still couldn't get up and stuff
then i realize I hadn't moved
and I'm still in bed
look with my left eye only
don't see the figure
so i try my right eye
now it's in my right eye
but then i notice something else
i notice what appears to be someone else in bed with me
to my left
i assume it's mikki
and try to talk
try to wake her up
or something
to help me
i either can't speak or i can't hear myself
so then i try moving my head and turn
and whatever it was
made my vision change again
the way it did on the figure on the ceiling
again the screaming too
i decide to try and move my arm since i can see it
it moves
but i can't feel that it's moving
since i can't see the face on whoever is in bed
i decide to try and wake her up
i put out my arm
and apparently my hand went in the nose
not the whole hand
just a finger
i couldn't see it
but for some reason feel it
and then i could hear what sounds like mikki repeating herself
"nose nose nose nose nose...."
over and over
i think to myself "ok, that's weird"
move my hand out of the nose
forget where i put it(like i forget right now trying to recall the dream)
but im sure she repeated where i put my hand too
i remember trying to get out of bed again
but couldn't
so i tried moving my head
boom
now I'm awake
like
sure I'm awake
my arms and legs still feel numbishly like they were in the "dream"
and im in bed at the same spot as there too
tho no one in bed
i could move now that i was actually awake
and i darted out of the room
i still feel weird now
it all blended so well
creeped out
i almost don't know if it actually happened
too weird to have actually happened
but it FEELS like it did
i feel so
