I can see
myself laying in my bed and I try to wake myself up but it won’t work. Still confused,
and frightened trying to figure out what was going on, or where I am. I all I can
see is myself, in a bed I can only guess is my own, I take a glance around the
room from where I’m stuck in place, it looks like mine. Everything seemed
normal, my room looked like it had when I went to sleep, but something was off.
I knew I wasn’t together, half of me was asleep and not aware of things going
on around. The room slowly starts to get dark and change, things start moving
more, the more I get scared and worked up it seems the worst things get. I frantically
thought of ways the wake the other half of me up before something happened. Things
just kept getting darker and things began to walk around and come alive it
seemed. I tried to calm myself, I thought if I could calm down everything would
go away, right as I had that thought I heard a loud sound and saw something appear
in the corner and start making its way towards my sleeping self. I tried to
scream to wake myself up, or to warn myself. I tried with all I had to move or
make a sound. I was stuck, paralyzed and petrified as he stalked through the
shadows, his knife gleaming in the moonlight.
Terrifying. I remember that feeling of trying to pull myself froma scary dream when I'd fall asleep on the couch in the afternoon during grad school. Like I knew someone was there in the house or something bad was going to happen but I couldn't move. Awful feeling.
