And if you guys have it too, let's talk about it over a cup of coffee. Just kidding. We should ignore each other and spare the awkwardness.
Go away. Now. |
Ever got trapped in your own body? I don’t know many people who have this
horrible condition I have thanks to my mum’s genes. Sleep Paralysis. This spooky hereditary disorder
sounds intriguing. It has all the
classic signs and symptoms of a terrifying nightmare:
-
You can’t breathe.
-
You can’t move.
-
You can’t speak
-
Intense fear.
-
This awful feeling of someone doing gymnastics
on your body.
-
Sometimes a tearing pain will pass through you.
-
And sometimes you will vibrate like your cell
phone.
-
You might hallucinate. Catch a glimpse of a spirit,
ghost, beast or your own self
-
A certain sense of an evil presence surrounds
you.
-
Astral project into the other worlds. At least
some people claim to.
-
Lucid dreaming.
I was 11 when I first experience
the ghastly Sleep Paralysis. Now, 10
years later (or is it 11? I suck at math) it still happens, frequently. Okay.
As much as I like to think that it is
a group of alien experimenting on me OR an old hag has taken a fancy to me OR a
person has created my voodoo doll – it’s not that interesting after all. UnFortunately,
it has a scientific explanation (to my relief and disappointment!). No
paranormal stuff like black magic... Or is it? I am doubtful.
Sleep Paralysis occurs due to this
random mis-transmission of chemicals. Your body is all ZzZzZz and your mind is
like O_O and these things you see and feel are just in your imagination.You are between the states of consciousness and unconsciousness.
So after battling with insomnia (or
rather sleep-phobia) and caffeine addiction I am finally getting over it. They say just go with the flow, scrunch up your face
and wriggle your toes. You will be okay in a few minutes. Or…
You’ll die from Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal
Death Syndrome (SUNDS)
True Story.
Now I'll go to bed. I hope it won't happen..
But It Will. |
