Haha well there's no rule about quote order, it's just common practice on this site to do it that way, so it's a bit confusing at first to see it in that order.
Hmmm RC time lol

Short of hooking you up to all sorts of machines that I don't even understand I can't tell you exactly what happened. But it woke you up, didn't it? Often people wake up committing some sort of action that carried over from the dream. I can't say 100% confidently why. Sleepwalking doesn't occur during REM dreams. My guess would either be that it was such an intense action that you jerked yourself out of SP and enacted it (but woke up as you did so), or even that you just happened to wake up at that time and SP ended and you still acted out that one part of the dream. I guess like when you wake up from a nightmare and you bolt upright even before you're 100% sure you're even awake. I haven't read any literature about when exactly SP ends so I can't say for sure. But the fact that you don't have broken bones and bruises all over you yet you dream every night is testament to SP doing its job... for the most part

I'm not sure what's more interesting... that, or experiencing SP when you've just woken up and being paralyzed haha
