Night Terrors (Free verse) by princesszoe

Depths of persuasion Unfathomed cruelty Spiralling Out of control The first cut Not the deepest Each slice Another layer Of humanity Stripped to the stench of raw bone

Sleep paralysis is like having a lucid dream but being unable to move out of the dream. To explain further, I know I am dreaming and to some extent can control what happens in the dream. However, I usually begin to feel a sense of menace pretty quickly and the dream will turn scary. At this point I cannot get out of the dream and my body is physically paralysed. I know all I have to do is move an arm or open my eyes to get out of it, but it takes a huge amount of will to do so. I usually return to a scary dream after this happens, or like you have sort of awake hallucinations. I have actually been suffering from all these phenomenon much more recently. I agree they are probably all related. I also have to be very careful with scary books/films, although sometimes I am perfectly fine. I generally manage to scare myself far more than anyone else could!
