Inspired by a vivid lucid dream I had earlier this year. I am laying down outdoors trying to sleep (within my dream), observing the night sky. It was very dark. I am awoken to a number of large planets moving across the sky at a faster speed than normal. They align after a short period of time, creating a bright, colorful light. This would happen multiple times. I had started taking pictures. I remember zooming in and seeing everything in such impressive detail. After some time I go to tell someone and show them the pictures. I realize that I had left my camera behind, so I return back to where I was. On the way, I remember feeling happy about being able to see such an event. Suddenly I feel numb and immobilized. I can feel what I could best describe as a pressure on my body as I begin to lift from the ground. This feeling seemed more real than anything I've felt in a dream, more intense, as though I could physically feel this. There was a light enveloping me getting brighter to the point all I could see was white. I was feeling anxiety during this because I wasn't sure what was happening. At this time it seemed like I faded into waking up feeling a bit shaken.
