      hi,i don't know what i call it. you know trying to sleep. all of sudden i went up and up i could see my body under blanket.then there was a nightmare because of sth i had done earlier that night and i can't explain.i thought it's a lucid dream but soon i realized i'm stuck in it. i couldn't change anything i had no control i couldn't speak and justify what i had done earlier.it lasted for a long time and i was scared shitless.couldn't figure out what it was dreaming or dying,i saw my body so i thought i'm dead and going to be punished for that damn thing.i tried hard but couldn't get rid of it.i cried and showed regret over what i had just done then i was able to speak and i came back to my body.really weird! when i came back i woke up and thanked god

      I'm not sure what you did, but it sounds like you were having some major regrets and ended up giving yourself a nightmare over it. The experience of seeing your body is pretty simple, you just dreamt an out of body experience, and so you saw your own dream body from your dream's vantage point. It can be freaky. I had a false awakening and woke up next to my own head once. Luckily I just realized it was a dream and went to go do something.

      If this ever happens again, next time try to remember that it is just a dream. Instead of focusing on the fact that you can't move or get out of bed (which is what your attention will go to and what will make it the main point of the dream and harder to get out of) just relax and try to just keep telling yourself it's a dream, you don't even have a body so there is no reason you'd be stuck in bed, or floating around if you didn't want to be.

      It's also possible that you were in sleep paralysis and hallucinating, although it sounds more like it was a dream. You'll have to tell me, I wasn't there

      If you want stranger explanations, Beyond Dreaming can certainly give them to you. But to me, this sounds like a dream and nothing more.
