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...

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