   I'm going to go off the rails for a moment here, but   
   I do wonder if what I am seeing might be a time    
   distortion, like I might be seeing my building    
   in it's abandoned state years from now.   
      
   I wasn't dreaming about gangs or abandoned houses   
   before waking up and seeing this, so it strikes me as odd.   
      
    I could understand if these were just random   
   patterns in my FOV, but the graffiti was referencing   
   specific gangs in my city in legible text (but as   
   the kind of scraw gang graffiti typically is).   
      
      
     "have some resemblance to the "sleep paralysis" condition,"    
      
    I've had sleep paralysis before and it terrified me whenever it happened. But   
   this was different. I didn't feel paralyzed,   
   and I was able to move around during    
   the 'gang graffiti' episodes. I did lay    
   there, feeling a lot of   
    confusion, wondering why my bedroom   
   walls were covered in gang graffiti, how   
   the gangsters broke in and did their   
   vandalism without me waking up,   
   wondering if I somehow ended up inside   
   an abandoned building and how I got there.   
      
   It is very unnerving, making me think I was   
   in some kind of danger, but then I get the   
   sense of relief when the graffiti fades away   
   and my bedroom looks normal
