I cannot sleep. At least my body thinks I am getting a full night's rest but I still feel conscious when my eyes shut.
You see a couple of nights ago I went out drinking with some colleagues of mine and became so drunk that when we all went to my place so we could all do a séance because one of us said it would be funny.
I don't remember which one but I think we were supposed to go to a different world or something. It didn't work. The rest of them got bored, got a cab home and I went to bed.
Anyways the next morning (no hangover for me thanks to a glass of water after each drink) I felt weird. Really weird as if I had been having a lucid dream the night before, but all I remember is staring into a black void and occasionally red as if I had closed my eyes when facing the sun.
I thought nothing of it through my day of lecturing English literature to a bunch of highschool teenagers, it just didn't bother me, anyways my friends and i were drinking quite a bit.
That day I went home had dinner and went to bed to read. When I had put my book down at around 9:56pm, I remember lying awake until i saw the LED light display of my clock fishing 10:00pm sharp just to have it extinguished and darkness to ensue. I had shut my eyes. That's all, but I didn't understand why my body wasn't responding to my commands? I could not move or even flutter my eyes. The only thing I did for 8hrs was stare into the red and black abyss. I was in agony all because of one thing;
Why didn't I dream?
