I was not my dream-self or my world-self, I simply experienced the dream as if from God's perspective, or a birds-eye POV. This concept in itself disorients me, it's something I've never experienced before.

My dream-self stood next to my world-self asleep in my bed. My world-self lay entangled over myself, arms misconstrued across my body, neck bent and back hunched. Why do I lay so uncomfortably and so complicatedly overlaid?

My dream-self is to the left of my world-body sleeping in my bed. My dream-self reaches down, attentively if you will, and says without words she see's pain. A vague idea again -- was mental pain portrayed through my sleeping position, was my world-self suffering in my sleep? My dream-self repositions the sleeping body sideways across my Queen mattress.

I slowly awake and find myself lying exactly how my dream-self positioned me within my dream.

Some things for clarification:
-as I wrote this out, I realized it's more as if there were two versions of me, not a dreaming me and an asleep me. It's more like I had a twin who watched me as I slept than a "dream-self". It's hard to grasp.

-I had a brief period of coming-to before I woke up. I was aware that I had just dreamt, but I was not able to control my dream. It was a foggy state between sleep and reality. I was able to analyze my dream, then wake up.

-This "twin" replica of me, the one who watched the other sleep, I'd like to say she spoke to me, telling me I was hurting myself but I can't be sure if it was words I heard or something I felt.
