Terrifying nightmares
Hi everyone,
I am exhausted. Tired of being exhausted. I’m at a point where I can barely keep my eyes open but even when I do close them I don’t sleep.
I just had quite a terrifying experience and I’m hoping someone here understands what I’m about to say..
I was trying to get to sleep, as a lot of you probably know, it is a feat on it’s own. I set myself up with some soothing music and calming essential oils. I hadn’t fallen asleep, but potentially was in that limbo between awake and asleep. You know, when you’re sort of drifting off to sleep but you are fully aware of sounds etc around you? I could hear the song that was playing. But I couldn’t move. It was like I was in a nightmare but I was awake and unable to move my body at all. I felt like I was being hit and like there was a force pushing and holding me down. My jaw felt clenched and I couldn’t open my mouth. I couldn’t lift my head. No matter what I tried to do I could not do anything and felt like being struck with some kind of forceful impact. I felt like I managed to grab my phone to dial 999 but it wouldn’t call. This whole time I could hear the song that was still playing.
Thinking about it now I cannot tell if I was having a nightmare that this was happening or if I was consciously trying to move and couldn’t.
I just don’t know. It was terrifying. I felt like I was going to be found dead.
Has anyone any ideas what this is or experienced something like this?
