Sleep Paralysis
This happened to me after I went to sleep on the living room couch while sleeping on my back.
I was sleeping and maybe dreaming when I woke up or I started dreaming of waking up before really waking up (I was definitely awake at some point because my brother GC confirmed that he did walked into the living room during this experience and it matched what he did when I saw him during this experience), either way I was awake on the couch laying on my back, but I was paralyzed.
I assumed that I was having sleep paralysis because I could not move, I then felt a presence in the room behind me and like the last two times it did not feel negative really, and then I heard a voice talking right behind my head where I felt the presence.
The presence seemed to literally be behind me like I was laying on top of it with it talking right behind my head, at first I thought that it was a soft peaceful female voice, but then it seemed like a male voice as it got a bit louder.
Now it did not sound as peaceful and soft, it was still softer like someone talking quietly because they are right behind your head, and now it sounded and felt a bit like it was trying to scare me a bit like it was probably smiling and having a bit of fun.
I felt only a slight bit of fear or concern as I tried to move so that I could turn around to see who or what was talking to me from behind my head, but I still could not move.
I assumed that this was a auditory hallucination which happens sometimes during sleep paralysis, and I wondered if it was my subconscious communicating with me and / or if my mind was making up a fictional voice and / or if it was my brain thinking out-loud and / or if I was possibly becoming mentally unstable and hearing voices and / or if something else was going on.
I can not remember what the voice said but it spoke in clear English that I could understand, it possibly said my name and it possibly responded to me responding to it with a thought but I can not remember, but it did address me and it was talking to me and maybe it was taunting me for fun a bit or something but I can not remember.
I just remember hearing someone entering the living room, I could not move but I could move my eyes, and in the corner of my eyes I saw that it was my brother GC entering the living room to turn off his computer.
I was glad that he was there because I was hoping he could tell me whether he saw and heard whoever or whatever was talking to me from behind my head, but as soon as I heard my brother GC entering the living room the voice stopped immediately and a second or two after my brother GC walked past me and glanced at me I was then able to finally move.
I then turned around to see if anyone or anything was behind me on the couch but I saw no one, and then I went back to sleep.
Later I asked my brother GC if had walked into the living room to shutdown his computer and if he had glanced at me, and I asked him if he had seen or heard anything / one.
He told me that he did walk into the living room to shutdown his computer and he did glance at me, but he did not see or hear anyone / anything besides me laying on the couch.
Dream 1
I had this dream when I was still sleeping on the living room couch, and it involved maybe some of my family and / or some other people and I going to maybe a fictional version of the city of LC or an LC-like city.
We needed somewhere to stay either during our visit or until we could find our own place, someone knew someone who would let us stay with them, and so we went to a one-story house in a neighborhood to the right of the main road possibly near were L’s Restaurant should be.
I remember us sitting in the living room talking with an old woman who lived there, there were some windows with a view to the outside, and eventually some other people who lived there joined the conversation.
One of them was an obese woman with light-brown color skin who reminded me of a female patron who was going to be visiting maybe Guatemala soon, I remember her telling me that she did not like it when people try talking too much as she is talking about something, and I asked her to explain this further and to give me some advice to help me avoid this and to help me with being a better listener and better at conversations with women in particular.
I remember her explaining this to me and then we all went walking through the neighborhood to go shopping et cetera, but I woke up.
Dream 2
This dream took place during the day and I remember being inside, I remember helping a man with light-color skin with something on a computer, and while doing this something pornographic was possibly found that maybe a previous user of the computer had left or visited online.
The man was possibly looking for something and at some point he left, then I was on the computer, but then my male cousin DE needed help with something on the computer so I helped him.
At some point DE needed me to drive him somewhere so we left in my automobile, we were in a fictional LC-like city, and I remember driving along a fictional version of the highway and bridge near the main beach.
DE was a bit mentally unstable and he could not remember where he needed to go so I kept trying to help him remember, and I reminded him that I used to live in the city of LC when I was in college so I knew my way around some parts of it.
We possibly stopped at the beach and several other places as I continued trying to help him remember but I am not sure, and that is all that I can remember of this dream before waking up.
Dream 3
This dream involved the armed robbers from the 2017 movie The Ritual, and it involved me maybe imagining two different scenarios involving these armed robbers if I had been there alone with them and the female cashier in the convenient store instead of the main character from the movie.
The first scenario involved me entering the store, then at some point I realized that the two male armed robbers had already attacked the female cashier, and they were still in the process of robbing the place so I hid for a moment so that I could get my mobile phone / plastic mobile holster with clip out so that I could pretend that it was a handgun.
I then yelled freeze or something like that to trick them into thinking that I was a police officer, I pointed my fake gun (mobile phone in holster) around the corner telling them to put their weapons down and get on the ground, and my plan worked so then I was able to do a citizen’s arrest of them.
I had the robbers lay face first on the ground with their eyes closed and I told them not to look up, I tied their hands behind their backs with something, and I called the police with my mobile phone still trying to sound like I might be a police officer.
When the police arrived I moved behind a shelf to talk to one of the police officers to avoid the robbers seeing me, and I waited until they were outside to talk to the police officer.
The second scenario of this was a bit different because this time I grabbed some objects off a shelf to use as weapons and I made some noise to lure the robbers to me and I jumped out, and I asked the robbers to surrender but as expected they did not and the first robber attacked me with a blunt metal melee weapon.
I dodged the attack and I tripped him while disarming him, and I stomped him on this head / neck until he was unconscious.
The second robber tried to attack me with his melee weapon but I blocked his attack with his friend’s melee weapon as I disarmed him, and I beat him unconscious with his friend’s melee weapon.
I then called the police, the two robbers were probably in a coma when the police arrived, but they woke up eventually and recovered eventually and they served some time in prison.
Years later when they were out of prison I was walking along a sidewalk one day when I walked past one of the robbers, we both recognized each other, and he ran so I ran after him just wanting to talk to him.
He ran into an alley, when I got there he pulled out a handgun on me and I pulled out my mobile phone / mobile phone holster with clip pretending that it was a gun again, and he thought that I was trying to attack him but I explained my intentions were just to talk.
We had a standoff, I reminded him of what happened to him last time, and I warned him that this time I would kill him if he tried to shoot me; and I asked him if he was really ready to throw his life away.
This scared him enough to put down his gun so that we could talk, but I woke up.
The end,
