I have had sleep paralysis since I was an early teen.
It is such a terrifying experience!
Words cant do it justice.
Anybody that has suffered from it can attest to this.

Sleep was now a nightly ordeal of terror.
I could force myself to wake and ignore… With time I stopped having episodes and moved on with my life.
That is, until the events of the last few nights.
So, I write.

Did you know sleep paralysis takes place during REM sleep?
Our bodies are paralyzed during this phase of sleep.
Sleep paralysis happens when REM sleep is interrupted.
The person wakes up and is aware, but they are incapable of moving.
This period is also marked in some with intense hallucinations.
Well, that is the rationalization for this phenomenon, needless to say, now I have my doubts.
A whisper would escape the corner of my room.
As mentioned above, over time it stopped.
Palpable relief gave way to sheer terror when it began again last Friday.
I always wondered what it was for.
Speaking of jeans, the word originates from the city of Genoa.
I live alone and as of late had really cherished the solace of my bed on nights like this.
I closed my eyes as sleep overtook me.
The next thing I remember is opening my eyes and not being able to move my body.
Oh great, I thought, here we go again.
I hadnt had an episode in over a year.
I surveyed my surroundings.
I calmly waited to fully wake up.
Normally, His figure was hunched over, but this time I could see He was standing.
Jesus, the height of this thing.
The red ribbons that surrounded Him flowed in the still air of the room carried on a nonexistent wind.
They obscured His face.
Occasionally I would catch a brief glimpse of His eyes.
They were bright yellow, an impossible, saffron hue.
That look was unmistakable.
It was one of seething hatred.
I know if those ribbons ever dropped away, and I had to look at that face.
I will either go mad or die.
There is no middle ground.
I just know it.
As I have mentioned, I can bring myself out of the paralysis if I struggle enough.
I quickly fought with my body, forcing it with every fiber of my being to wake up.
All while He whispered the same incomprehensible phrase over and over again.
I turned my head toward that corner in my room only to see that the man was gone.
Sweet relief consumed me.
I had finally woken up.

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame?
What an awesome dude…

The next night I fell asleep with much trepidation.
I was rattled to my core.
In all my years with sleep paralysis, He had never moved toward me.
And Jesus that look in His eyes.
I awoke again locked in the throes of paralysis.
He was in exactly the same position I had seen Him the night before.
To my absolute horror He rose and began to float off of the ground.
The red ribbons whipping around His figure, obscuring His face while occasionally revealing those odious eyes.
His limbs made a popping sound as they turned backwards and clutched the ceiling.
What can it mean?
Understanding washed over me.
Oh God!?!
I clutched my chest as my heart threatened to burst out of my rib cage.
I could feel my mind become further unhinged.
I, as quickly as I was capable of doing so, woke myself up.
The following night (last night) the same thing occurred.
I looked to see the time on the clock.
With every movement his limbs cracked.
His voice began to fill my head.
It threatened to burst my skull with his demonic message.
I could feel an evil emanating from this being, a wholly malicious energy holding me in place.
Theres no other way to describe it.
It felt like death itself.
I finally awoke as the Man over my bed began to descend towards my sleeping body.
4:17
Did you know that what most people think are a horses knees are actually its wrists?
Their skeletal structure is different than that of humans.
Who am I kidding?
And those words that started as a whisper and ended up screaming inside my head.
Dont write it down.
Youre going to make it true!)
In the next world, youll never sleep again.
4:25
Forget what I wrote above.
The machinations of a stressed out mind on the edge.
I am just experiencing sleep paralysis and there is nothing supernatural occurring here.
If I dont sleep, I wont experience hallucinations and…
He… wont come.
The more I think about it the more absurd it all seems.
The Man surrounded by red ribbons.
Its just a hallucination, a symptom of a disorder with a perfectly scientific explanation.
What an idiot I have been.
Ive let fear and ignorance overtake my rational mind.
I feel like such a moron.
4:30
Did you know…
Oh, Jesus.
