Sun Wukong, who had been startled awake in his dream, originally thought that being pinned under the Five-Finger Mountain was just a dream of his own. However, upon waking, he found himself truly pinned down by something. Sun Wukong opened his eyes to find complete darkness before him, and since he was lying on his back, he couldn't move his limbs or body since they were being pressed down.
At this moment, Sun Wukong became somewhat panicked. After all, the scene in the dream was too real, and he had memories of the painful experience of being suppressed under the Five-Finger Mountain which made him deeply aware of how painful being pinned down was.
