Dream

I am frozen, yet awake paralyzed at fear, grasping to move unable to in my own skin, able to see all around I move parallel faster, with my body below terror holds me down, without breath I hear chatter, not of my own then I move, I breathe I awaken out of the terrible Dream Taryn Thompson

Often we get dreams such as this that terrify us. Sometimes we can't move or even speak. Your description of this state of subconsciousness is awesome, Taryn. Love, Carolyn

Excellent description of night paralysis. I've encountered these same feelings in those moments not yet awake and not fully asleep, and you've captured them well. - Chuck
