I was in a regular dream, and it ended, and I knew it was a dream right at the very end, so I decided to remain perfectly still, and see if I could prolong it. It didn't work. I just remained there in darkness, and recalled the events of the previous dream in my mind, so I wouldn't forget. But it was hard to concentrate with the TV on and I shouldn't have left it on all night, and I had to focus hard on remembering my dream but the TV was distracting me.
Then I remembered.... my TV IS NOT ON!
I've gotten use to it before, so it didn't spook me. Instead, I just allowed the "voices", much like a TV show or a news report, speak their nonsense. I couldn't understand half the gibberish. I was sleeping with my hands on my face and could feel it. One on my forehead and the other over my nose and mouth. (Hard to explain, but it was just the sides of my hands, and my face was tucked into the crack of a sofa where the cushion meets the backing. I slept on a sofa). I then saw some imagery, but it was small, only taking up the center of my vision, between my hands, not the full area. I simply waited, allowing it to develop and grow, and the visuals became my full vision, and were following the 'commentary' I was hearing. I forget most of it, but it was like a shoot out in a warehouse TV show or something like that.
I waited, expecting the sounds and visuals to become even more developed and eventually envelope me right into a 3D dream as it can do sometimes when I 'pop right in to one' suddenly. (I suppose that 'pop' is the sudden introduction of your tactile/proprioceptions, and you gain a spatial awareness.)
But that didn't happen.
Instead, I felt as though a person who had been laying behind me, stood up and left the 'bed', even though there was no room for them on the sofa I was on. I could feel the up and down movement on the 'bed' as they left. (That has happened before and spooked me, but I am use to it now, even though it's rare for me. Plus, I knew I was on a sofa, so it had to be just an odd SP sensation as your body goes limp). Then I felt a blanket drape over me as though this 'entity' tossed it on me as it left. The 'blanket' blacked out my vision, so now I was in complete darkness again. (I didn't sense a presence in the room, but in the past I sure did wonder, Who's there! And that use to create one out of expectation and fear of the unknown and a need to rationalize that feeling of 'someone getting up' from behind/beside me').
But I knew this familiar feeling I was having. I was free to roam now.
I tossed the blanket off, and I got up, just as real as getting out of bed in real life, but I collapsed to the ground, without a sense of balance, and had to stand up again. I felt like perhaps I did it too suddenly, and any faster, without my past experience, I would easily have thought that the 'entity' had pulled me out in one motion, as I 'rolled out'.
So anyway, now I'm standing in a room where I slept (not my bedroom, but beside a couch that I had been sleeping on). It was vivid, but not the same as reality. It was dark and dim, and was night outside the sliding glass doors, even though I knew I went back to bed around 9:00 a.m. I was completely alone and called out for people and tried to will someone to show up, but it only lasted 10-20 seconds at most before I woke up. (Dang it!)
It was after a long dream anyway, so I guess it was at the end of a dream cycle and I couldn't maintain it. I still had my eyes closed, and realized my sleeping position was different, and without opening them, I just KNEW I was awake this time. My hands on my face before was an illusion, 'dream hands' if you will. Just in case, however, I remained still to try and see if it happened again, but unfortunately it didn't. I confirmed it by opening my eyes.
It was not meant to be this time.
