Last night I tried to force myself to wake from a dream that was negative (I posted a different thread about this issue). I couldn't get myself to wake up at first, but eventually I did. I had a very hard time forcing myself to sit up, but that ended up being the only thing that could break me from the dream setting (sitting up). I felt kind of like I was sitting and lying down at the same time (very heavy I guess?) but I was definitely sitting. I opened my eyes but couldn't see my room and ground myself in waking reality, so I fumbled around for my cell phone on my nightstand. I grabbed it and hit the button to turn the light on. I saw nothing until I brought the screen so close to my face it was touching it, and even then I just saw a dull light, not my lock screen.

What the hell is this?
