I was asleep up in the back bedroom of my parent's house outside of Chicago. I knew I should have written this up right after I woke up, because I remember it being cooler right after I first woke up.

It started out with a dream of some sort, then in the dream I heard the ringing in my head that usually precedes a bout of sleep paralysis. I awoke from the dream and found myself laying in the bed in my parents' guest room, but I was able to at least roll around in bed. The ringing was very loud, but the room didn't seem exactly the same as it was. The walls on two sides of the room were gone, and I could see down to the stairs on the other side of the wall opposite the bed. There was a rail in the place of that wall, as if my parents had decided to knock out a couple of walls and turn that room into an open area upstairs. I rolled around for a while trying to get back to sleep, but the buzzing in my head made it difficult.

Usually at this point I panic, but since I was able to move I was somewhat relaxed, other than the uncomfortable buzzing and the fact that I wasn't able to get back to sleep. I tossed and turned for a while and finally I was able to get comfortable laying in bed facing to the right. Just as I was getting back to sleep, the buzzing increased a bit, and I woke up, the room back to normal, and I was facing to the left in bed.

How dumb is that. I had a dream about laying in bed unable to get to sleep.
