Fell Asleep With my Eyes Open
I don't know what it is called, I need help on this issue to make sure it doesn't happen again. It happened a while ago, but I need to know what this is and why it happened.
I was afraid to go to sleep for a few weeks, because I had a huge fear of evil in the house. I was very, very tired. My aunt (who is very violent) was sleeping over. She yells alot. So, I lie in bed with my mom and I stayed awake due to fear. My body must have been very tired, because I refused to go to sleep. Then, I was dreaming. I had a nightmare, which wasn't even that scary. My aunt saw a roach and screamed really loud because of it. In the dream, I screamed back, but instead of screaming in the dream, I screamed in waking life. Loudly. I did what I would do in my dream. The scream was so loud, that I woke up. But, when I woke up, I don't remember opening my eyes, but I remember the dream fade and next thing I knew I was face-to-face with my mom. I never opened my eyes because I never closed them. I knew I fell asleep with my eyes open, my mom even told me. I guess my body just shut down, but what is this? Also, when I woke up, I was in bed, sitting up straight. I never laid down.
