Vividness and feeling poking

So this phenomenon started out where I was dreaming about what seemed to be an end of the world scenario video game except it seemed real and I was in it. In this scenario me and this other guy who had to abandon our families where trying to get “out” which I think means getting out of the video. We knew that we didn’t belong in the video game world and it was attacking us. What happened was that we were on a normal road trip when all of the sudden we had to escape from an outer source or thing. In this dream it was a worm or twisted monster that spun itself, this kind of reminds me of the parasite eve game, the third birthday installment of the series. Anyways. We used our minds to create a path or obstacle to get away from this monster while we flew in the car and the landed again on the ground safely while staying alive within the dream, which is impossible when I have a real life dream. In a real life dream if anything defies physics and harms me, I die. So this went against natural law in most dreams I have. I knew it was a video game because it had a gameplay look from the early 90’s to late 90’s, Blocky and clearly underdeveloped to the games today. After we landed this one spectacular land we woke up in a dream scape, which is a normal dream to me. In this dream scape it was dark and it looked like the ghetto. Me and this guy had some “business to get done” or at least that was the feeling I picked up in this place.

The dream changed. I was in a bathroom situation. It was a bright curvy bathroom. The bathroom was divided up like this, there was a bright light coming from the entrance of the bathroom. When you entered the bathroom there was a couple of steps to a wall and then there were ab out three steps that went down into this bathroom. I really think it is interesting that there were steps leading down to the bathroom and the entrance had a bright light eliminating in it or beyond it. Anyways, I got stuck in this situation where I was waiting for someone to come out of a bathroom stall. I waited but I never really saw anybody come out until a lady dressed in blue walked out of the bathroom and walked away with another lady out from the stall. I then thought “what kind of bathroom is this?” and “why am I just standing here.” I then decided to move but instead I started to crawl up this tunnel into another area but instead I woke up. While crawling in this other area I saw darkness but them I saw what seemed to be me moving up in this tunnel and then it happened. I felt something poking me in the back before I woke up to consciousness. It felt real, and it hurt like when you hit your funny bone. I woke up all the way and still felt someone or something poking me in the back. I tried rolling over but it didn’t work. And then when I finally decided to get up all the way it stopped. I tested the same spot with my finger in my back between a fleshy area and it felt the same if I put enough pressure on it. Someone in the dream world had poked me and I know it but i don’t know why? Also, after the poking stopped they left a very vivid imagination with me. And by this I mean i could see the images clearly in my head. For example: I thought of mickey mouse I would see mickey mouse clearly and moving around in action in a cartoon state. I tried thinking of other things too and it worked clearly and vividly. What happened? I still have the trace of vividness right now and as I am writing this when I think of these things its like I am watching it on tv.

The fact that you said that you tried to roll over, but it didn’t work sounds like you were still in sleep paralysis, which is often accompanied with Hypnagogia (visual or sound hallucinations or feelings of touch).
