Last night I experienced something really weird and it scared the hell out of me. I was quite happily sleeping, but then I dreamt that I was hearing a weird resonating buzzing sound and I couldn’t move like some invisible force was holding me down. I remember calling Erin’s name to help me, not sure why I would have done that; but I did and instead some random woman who face was obscured appeared seemingly holding me down. It definitely wasn’t Erin, wrong colour skin completely, Erin is black (or chocolate as I like to call it, hmm tasty) and this mystery woman was clearly white despite her face being obscured! I talked to Erin about it this morning and apparently it’s called sleep paralysis and is quite common. This is the first time I have experienced this and would rather not experience it again. It’s horrible having a feeling of helplessness, not being able to move, I have only experienced this once before and that was because I overdosed on painkillers because of a toothache, but I was awake and fully aware of what was happening. I had serious trouble getting back to sleep afterwards having to turn on the TV to have some light and sound in the room. It’s a rather disturbing experience, I’m not even sure if it was a nightmare or I was awake, it seemed like I was awake but I guess I wasn’t; I don’t pretend to understand what happened, Erin seems to know a lot about it as she has experienced it numerous times over the years and is undertaking medical training at the moment for her future career choice!
