This is a late entry as this happened some few weeks ago, but I want to add it for a record as best I can remember it. As I drifted off on this particular sleep, I hadn't even noticed that I had actually fallen "asleep" at all. I was having a tired discussion with my girlfriend about nothing which would later resemble anything in this dream to be. My memory on this one is a bit foggy, but I remember I was walking down the street from my household with either my little brother or my son, I cannot remember for the life of me, when I realized I heard dogs. For some reason I knew they were pitbulls and I knew they were coming and that they were giants, and I would not be able to protect the child. It was at this point that I realized this was a dream and that giant pitbulls do not exist so I simply made them disappear. When I did the child disappeared and I started twirling; slightly ascending a few feet into the sky as if I were flying and then I snapped out of it and somewhat regained consciousness. I say somewhat because I was unable to move for a few moments and somehow mumbled or grunted something and awoke my girlfriend who later swore that she hadn't heard anything from me and had woken up on her own accord....
I'm in a bar with two of my friends. Tim and Mike. We're playing ping pong for some reason. Drinking and ping pong are two things I do enjoy so this makes sense Tim tries to explain something to me and I try to respond to him as best I can as I'm leaving the bar but cannot find the words because I'm intoxicated. I mumble something incoherently and then realize that I have to be dreaming because Tim and Mike do not drink anymore and the only bar that ever had a ping pong table has been closed since I finished high school. I IMMEDIATELY hear a roar of noise and what sounds like rain and realize when I wake that it's my air conditioner making the noise. I was also able to make sounds and say words while I was in a conscious awakened state whilst still being unable to open my eyes. My girlfriend confirmed this as she was lying next to me the whole time. Weird...
