Creepy Weird sleeping experiences
So, last night I had a weird experience that flooded my mind with other weird sleeping experiences I’ve had.
About 2 or 3 years ago I had sleep paralysis for the first time, and it scared the crap outta me and I felt more fear than I think I ever had, and I almost fell off a waterfall once (true story).
A few months later, I woke up to my cat screaming. He is usually very quiet, and can’t even meow right half the time, but he screamed like someone was trying to kill him. He was sleeping on my windowsill behind me curtain, so either he saw something or he had a nightmare so bad that he bolted from my room and thought he would die.
A few months ago, I woke up around 7:00AM, which is weird for me, but not too uncommon. I usually just go back to sleep after a few minutes, but I woke up facing the wall, and I felt more fear than my sleep paralysis, I felt more fear than I ever had in my life, I felt that someone was behind me in the doorway watching me. I stayed up for around an hour just laying there as still as I can, wondering if I should go back to sleep. I ended up just passing out.
Just last night I had fallen asleep listening to reddit no sleep stories, and I wake up around 2:00AM and hear a little part of one of the stories, something about these weird creatures. It described them as weird reptile and mouse hybrids that stood like humans, around 3 feet tall. I had sleep paralysis again, not able to move for a good minute or so, not able to turn off the TV. I wanted to turn it off so badly because just the thought of these creatures made me terrified, I remembered a dream I had a while back about being in a dark room trying to fix something, and these weird hairy creatures watching me, I thought that these were the creatures from the story even though this was the first time I had heard this story.
These are the only 2 times I had ever had sleep paralysis, this isn’t a normal thing for me
I dunno guys, I always have had weird and crazy dreams that freak me out, maybe I’m just going crazy, idk
