Suddenly, he woke up. The lights were on. A cool breeze
rushed in from the open window. He wondered when and for how long he had slept.
There was no blanket on and the laptop was still turned on pausing on a scene
of the Lego Batman movie. The last thing he remembered was getting too tired
and sleepy watching the movie lying in that very bed. He tried to move but his
body wouldn’t budge. He tried to turn but nothing happened. He tried to move
his fingers but it was like his nerves were not transmitting any signal to his
limbs. A sudden chill went down his spine. His greatest fear was not being conscious
but not being able to anything, like in a coma. He was terrified. Was his
greatest fear coming to a reality? He opened his mouth and yelled in sheer
terror. But to his dismay, no sound came out of his throat. With all his might,
he let out another scream and at the same time he swung his body forward and
was finally able to stand up.

There was no blanket on and the laptop was still turned on pausing on a scene
of the Lego Batman movie. The last thing he remembered was getting too tired
and sleepy watching the movie lying in that very bed. Wait! This situation felt
similar to him. Then he remembered that he had done the same thing before,
twice. He tried to move but his body wouldn’t budge. He tried to turn but
nothing happened. He tried to move his fingers but it was like his nerves were
not transmitting any signal to his limbs. A sudden chill went down his spine.

out of his throat. With all his might, he let out another scream and at the
same time he swung his body forward and was finally able to stand up.
Suddenly, he woke up. This time, he remembered the same
prior situation again. What was happening? He thought for a while and then
checked to see if he could move or shout. Still nothing happened. A thought
then came to his mind. He was dreaming and in this dream, he was stuck in a
loop. Again, with all the power he could muster, he let out a scream and swung
his body forward and was able to stand up.
Suddenly, he woke up. Whatever this dream was, it wouldn’t
end. He was stuck in a loop, waking up to find himself helpless. Using his
strength to stand up but he would wake up again in the same position. He doesn’t
remember how many times this happened. It felt like an eternity. He was getting
more anxious and terrified every single time. He tried to change the situation,
like he tried to pick up his phone, look at his watch, and call out for help,
but this loop would not break.
He wanted to cry but no tears would come. He had lost all
hope. Finally, he decided he would accept his fate and do nothing about it.
He was lying there, knowing it was a dream but with no
expectation of waking up anytime soon. His body didn’t move but his mind was
going haywire, thinking about everything and nothing all at once. Suddenly, he
felt a shadow fall on him. He couldn’t make out who it was and tried to
slightly move his head to see who it was but to no avail. As this person came
close, he could make out that it was a girl. She stood right by his bedside and
slowly leaned forward towards him. He finally saw who she was.
She was the girl he loved. The most beautiful girl he had
ever laid his eyes upon and she looked divine just then. She gently stroked his
hair. “Don’t force it. Just stand up slowly. You can do it.”, she whispered
into his ear and disappeared.
He did as he was told. He closed his eyes, smiled and very slowly
stood himself up.
And finally, he woke up…
(This is the bizarre dream I had yesterday.)
