It’s hard to go from dreaming straight into consciousness, especially when you were just napping. Unfortunately, it seemed to be even worse for Parker. When she was tired enough, too lethargic to get out of bed or even to keep her eyes open, she would often fall asleep again, but never for long. With her brain open to other influences, such as the dreams of the other world, came the susceptibility to sleep paralysis.
The first time it happened, Parker had thought she had died. It was scary to wake up and be aware of your surroundings but not be able to move an inch. It was kind of like being inside Parker II’s memories, but at least during those she got to feel the movement and feelings that the other Parker did.
She can’t remember what the dream she had been having was about, but suddenly, she was thrown into wakefulness, but still couldn’t move. She laid in her bed until finally, something gave, and she was able to open her eyes.
