Anyway, I fell asleep yesterday afternoon and dreamt a really, really huge boa constrictor was curled up behind some bushes. These cats I feed were trying to drive it away, and a second later, it's head emerged from the bushes with a cat in it's mouth. I laid down and started pounding on it's head with my fist trying to make it let go of the cat, but my arm seemed to have hardly any strength, and it's head was very tough. It went back into the bushes with the cat and I was afraid the kitty was a gonner. I tried to stand up but it turned into a paralysis dream. I couldn't get anybody parts to move. I was paralyzed on the ground with a huge snake less than three feet away. I tried so hard to call for help, and it seemed I had actually succeeded in making some noise, but no one heard me. I was sure the snake was going to come back out, swallow one of my legs and bite it off. I willed and willed myself to move. Finally, there was a kind of simultaneous realization I was dreaming and the return of my ability to move, and I woke up.
I read something somewhere that laid the cause of sleep paralysis to lack of potassium. So, when ever I get dreams like this I go get some bananas.
