I have a throat infection and was sitting on my couch when I dozed off. I'm currently taking penicillin, benzydamine, and ibuprofen. the first weird thing I noticed is that I heard someone rustling through food in the kitchen, eating and opening packages. but I knew there was no one home. i couldn't see the kitchen from where i was sitting, so I tried to call out, but was unable to. I couldn't move at all. I woke myself up promptly. then it happened again. this time I had a dirty plate in my hand and I wanted to go put it in the dishwasher. I got up, walked over and tried to open the dishwasher but it wouldn't budge. I then realized I was still sitting in the chair with the plate in my hand. confused, I tried to get up again. but I couldn't move at all. I then woke up, and the plate disappeared from my hands. by now I was starting to see the trend. I closed my eyes and sat still for 5 minutes, then opened my eyes in a dream. I was still in the chair but I couldn't move. I instructed my brain to "play me some music" and some new song I've never heard before started playing as clearly as If I was wearing headphones. it went on for about a minute but then someone sent me a text message and the noise from my phone woke me up. I wanted to see how far I could push it. this time I tried again, with the instruction "break reality". immediately, everything began conceptually falling apart. the whole world was changing colors and shape in harsh, unpredictable pulsating ways and all I could hear was a high pitched noise pulsing faster and faster. I lost control of my muscles and my head felt as if it was involuntarily pulled to the right. after about 2 minutes of this I woke up to find I hadn't moved at all. again. this time I tried to suffocate myself. it worked, i found myself unable to breathe and but reminded myself there was nothing actually stopping me from being able to breathe. but just as I thought I was about to pass out I woke up to find I had been breathing normally the whole time.
