Still Holding on to the Past

In these past months I have been having some experiences involving my sleep or moreless the plane between my dreamstate and consciousness.  I feel as though I have woken up from a deep sleep and while I'm lying in bed, I experience the sensation of feeling my paralyzed body again.  I then go on to move my legs up and down off of my bed.  While doing so, I get extremely overwhelmed and excited and think as though I have regained my ability to walk again.  Then I tell myself that I can't move my legs and that I'm paralyzed.  That thought leads to the conclusion that I'm sleeping and of course I wake up.  As soon as I reach a full state of consciousness, I have feelings of disbandment, anger and then sadness.  I feel as though I'm holding on to my past like Karma itself.

Yet another experience today.  I took a quick "Power Nap" and it happened again.  I was reclined in my Med-Lift chair and I dreamed that I woke up and that I could move my legs again.  Right away, I realized I was sleeping so while still in my dream, I wanted to make sure it was only a dream that gives me the use of my legs.  So I lifted my legs off of the foot rest and set them on the floor.  I then forced myself to open my eyes to reach a full state of consciousness.  And, of course it hit me like normal when I saw my legs were still on the foot rest.  Rather than letting it get to me at that time, I closed my eyes and fell back asleep and found myself right back in the same dream.  I knew it was a dream state of mind, but rather than waking up, I stood up in my chair and walked around my apartment.  I felt the floor as I walked in my feet, I felt my pants brushing against my legs as I walked...  and I saw my kitchen counter from 5' 11" for the 1st time...  and I saw my bathroom from 5' 11" for the 1st time...  and I saw my bed from 5' 11" for the 1st time.  I remembered seeing the world from that perspective again.  I knew I was dreaming, but it felt so real.  I skipped through my living room laughing in excitement, I felt myself for the 1st time in a year and a half and noticed my abdomen was as if I had never gained any weight.  This opened my eyes to reality and I found myself sitting in my Med-Lift recliner chair again.  Except this time, I felt not negative emotions, but thought positively and I am optimistic about this happening again.  It is like a vacation in my mind.

I've read that some people have the ability to actually decide what they want to dream before they go to sleep and then dream it.
This comes pretty close.
Either that or you are a transcendentalist master actually sending your soul out into the world from the comfort of your recliner.
Sounds like you're working through some things in your dreams, which, I think, is what they're really for. Good for you.
Now if you could just insert Angelina Jolie in there somewhere...
