Mental Health Support

I'd get out of bed to get ready for work but when I'd go to turn on the bathroom light, my hand would slide right through the switch. After a few more tries I'd think, heck, I'm still asleep and in the dream I'd go back to bed and pretty much just reabsorb into my body. In a few dreams, when things would get dicey, I'd tell myself that I was only dreaming so everything is OK.

I also used to wake up WHILE my body was still in a state of sleep paralysis. I'd try and try and try to move but nothing would happen. Then I'd feel a horrible pressure, like I was being pressed into the mattress. That is horrifying. Sometimes it would take me two or three tries to actually coordinate my brain with the rest of my body.
