Would anyone know what this would mean or if it has any significance
I have experienced self paralysis before many times but this seemed different to that as I was waking around in the dream not froze to my bed
I basically ‘woke up’ in my bed in my house Around 9:30am so it was bright outside , everything was as normal and I thought I was awake but the atmosphere changed and became very heavy and bad feelings about me.. I was able to walk about my upstairs and enter the bathroom and experienced some hallucination sounds but can’t remember if I seen anything. I very quickly became aware I was still asleep and needed to wake up, I remember briefly being stuck in the bathroom in the dream and not being able to get out but when I did I then walked myself back to my room and bed but then instead of climbing into my bed I just like teleported back into my sleeping position and willed myself to wake up but I couldn’t wake up or move now at his point and then it became very like sleep paralysis where the hallucinations continued but I couldn’t move but again very aware I knew what was happening and tried everything to move my body back out of bed. I eventually managed and got myself awake and knew I was 100% awake this time as the atmosphere in the room was now airy and light normal and no heaviness or weirdness. I was so tired by this point and it was now 10:30 am. I went and had a bite to eat and went back to bed and fell into a normal sleep and woke around 12pm and had a normal day .
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that dream and if it was anything other than a dream.
Any thoughts?

Near death?
No! But it could be that you’re not getting quite enough oxygen in and it’s giving you apnoea and there’s a big association with sleep paralysis. Are you a snorer?
I don’t think there is anything woo going on at all!
OP to me the heavy and bad feelings in the atmosphere are the ungrieved losses of your pregnancies. For whatever reason you haven't had the support you needed to work through those losses, and your dream is trying to awaken you to that unfinished emotional business before you get caught up in the birth and early years of your forthcoming baby. Bathrooms can symbolise spaces within ourselves where purification of unresolved feelings takes place, and you need to carry that awareness into your waking life. It's important to work through the very real bereavements you have suffered, in a therapeutic sense. If counselling isn't an option, you could search online for suggestions from other mums bereaved by miscarriage, through rituals or other ways in which they have consciously processed their hidden feelings about what they've been through. This creates a less complex emotional environment for your new baby.
Sounds to me like false awakening, potentially coupled with a touch of sleep paralysis.
False awakening is weird, I got ready for work one morning- showered, breakfasted, everything while feeling v v heavy and struggling to move. Only to wake up in my bed 20m later and then do it all for real.
The only times I've experienced false awakening or sleep paralysis was when I was chronically sleep deprived and chronically stressed.
I wouldn't worry about the episode, but so seek help for your mental health and support through this pregnancy
