While still hazy from waking up from my dream, I realized that I had walked a short distance in my room, from my bed to the bedroom door. I remembered my dream only lightly. I was sitting by a water fountain awaiting someone or something, but I was pacing back and forth, as though I knew what was coming. From a distance I saw someone walking towards me, and my anxiety grew, my heart hit beats so profusely that my limbs became numb. I could not move them, yet I knew that I didn’t want to be there. I could not stand and await the news, although my real self wanted to stand there and see what would happen next. But my dream self could not stand the stress of it. She ran. As soon as her foot hit the pavement, one, two, three steps, I opened my eyes and found myself near the door. Although while I was sleeping, I thought I wanted to see the dream unfold, my subconscious overwhelmed me, and I reacted the way I did in my dream. It makes me wonder how many times I have reacted to my subconscious without realizing it.

Wow, what a powerful dream. I'm guessing it was a nightmare. I've found myself upside down sometimes after a dream. It's amazing what the human mind is capable of.
I agree Patricia, our human mind is capable of so much. I wanted to convey that in a dream-like way. Our feelings, intentions, and actions can be forces from our subconscious that we are not aware of. Thanks for your comment.
I like the way that you kept up the idea of subconscious dreaming. It really makes me think about all the times that I have woke up and couldnt explain how I got the way I did.
