One of the things the human body does when it’s asleep is paralyze itself (for the most part) so you don’t act on your dreams and hurt yourself. But this can be really annoying, and not just when sleep paralysis hits. 

I was having a dream recently where I was at a spanking party and I was spanking a friend of mine (I don’t know who it was; just a generic “friend”-shaped person who fit the narrative). However, I couldn’t get a good smack in because my arm kept getting stuck. I was only patting her after the first couple of swats, and we were both disappointed by this. I’m sure it was because of the dream paralysis. 

In the dream, I also tried to spank someone else — someone slender, I remember that — with the same result. Later in the dream, I was going to have sex with the “friend”-shaped person but for some reason I’d left my lawn equipment at my old house so my dad drove me, my mom, and my sister over there to pick it up. The van wasn’t big enough to hold all of it, so I said I would rent a car, drive it all down to Florida (where my parents live)… But then I couldn’t do that because I’d never make it back in time to catch my flight home. 

There was also some stuff about radio stations and casino hotels in there, but I don’t remember that as clearly. 

I guess when my brain realized it wouldn’t be able to get a good spanking in it changed the nature of the dream so I wouldn’t be too disappointed.

It wasn’t a bad dream, but I think it would’ve been better if my brain hadn’t processed the dream paralysis and had let me actually spank these two people. But I suppose there’s a reason for everything.
