Couldn’t Wake Up

Date: 12/12/2018

I was coming out of multiple layers of dreams, and I thought I’d woken up completely. I was groggy, my eyes unable to open for more than a second no matter how hard I fought to force them. I could only get glimpses of the room and everything was made blurry by my waters eyes and the initial disorientation when waking up. My body felt limp as if still asleep and I could barely move, I couldn’t sit up, but I could roll around and move my arms. I grabbed my phone because I needed to know the time, to make sure i didn’t sleep in too late, but I couldn’t see my phone. No matter where I held it, it was if it was permanently in a blind spot. I waved it in front of my face but couldn’t even see the lit screen, only the basic shadow of it passing back and forth. I started to cry and beg to be able to see and move, I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t waking up properly and why I couldn’t see. It was until I let out a scream that I woke up for real.
