SLEEP PARALYSIS

Based on a true story that happens to me    

                     I have sleep paralysis every day. It starts with minor paralysis like a boy playing  guitar next to my bedside and singing a song which I really hate. I don’t remember the lyrics but I really hate the song on my dream. I tried to stop him from playing, but the boy could not hear me and I could not even move my body to stop him, until finally I was able to move my finger and my eyes open. The second  paralysis I dream of a boy who was so dirty and his breath stink so much so that I could smell something rotten in my dream and also, he was opening his mouth next to my face. I hold my breath and I was suffocating. In my next paralysis  I see a boy poking my area where it’s so embarrassing to mention, with a stick and it hurts so bad that I really wanted to snatch that stick from him and hit him hard with  it,  but I could not move my body I suffer until I could finally open my eyes. The paralysis escalated to the point where now I could not distinguish between a dream and a reality.  I dream of playing hide and seek with my friend on an abandoned house and the house was our old one. I hide inside an old fridge and wait for my friend  to catch me. I heard the sound of footsteps . and something being thrown on the ground and the sound of someone hitting something. I open the door of the fridge just enough to peep at someone and I saw a man  and my friend’s body  on the ground . He was smashing her and cutting her to pieces. I close my mouth to stop my breathing so he can’t see me. It was getting harder to breathe, I saw the man eyes moving and stop at my direction,  I froze, he saw me, He is coming towards me. He is coming closer Finally I was able to open my eyes and I was trembling. I could not sleep for the rest of the hour. I have nightmares every day. I dream of drowning in a well, I dream of sitting in a small tiny car. It got worse and worse.  I played with my phone the whole night and slept for only 2 or 3 hours but my nightmare did not stop on those hours. Someone suggested me to tie a mosquito net and sleep, I did, I take every advice I could get to stop my nightmare. One night I took the advice of my friend and tie a mosquito net. As a habit I scrolled through my phone for many hours playing games and watching comedy shows.  I dozed up while playing with my phone The first hour I dream of my old happy memories at school and then the nightmare started I saw a man foot outside of my mosquito net. I moved my head down on my dream and there are shadows of  two people at my bedroom door  just staring at me but could not  come inside the net and on top of my net I saw a boy floating looking down at me and hitting my mosquito net with a guitar. I just look at them all the only part of my body that can move are my eyes, I couldn't scream I plan on giving up until my younger sister hit my face and wake me . "Sis," she calls me I open my eyes and stared at her but my gaze was faraway I could not see what was in front of me for a couple of minutes and then I looked at her she asked me “Why are your eyes red?”
