I couldn't really be unable to wake up, could I?
Thinking of Inception, Yue Yuan's subconscious began worrying that he might truly be unable to wake up.
Yet just as that worry surfaced in his subconscious, Yue Yuan, who had originally been flying through the air in the Third-Person Perspective, suddenly realized that he had become the First-Person Perspective and was falling.
