Taryn Thompson Poet ABC

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

Chuck Novotny April 30, 2012 at 1:54 AM 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
