*Trigger warning: Sleep paralysis.*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something woke me up in the middle of the night.

I'm laying with my back to the room, covered in my blankets.

I try to move, but my body is paralyzed. My eyes are flying through the wall in front of me trying to regain control of the movements.  

I can feel the room temperature dropping and a feeling of fear running down my body.

Something is observing me.

I stop and don't dare to move, waiting for that nightmare to be over.

All of the sudden two hands grab my shoulders and whispers in my ear. 

My head is spinning and my body hurts.

I can't understand what is saying, but it's sounding like a threat.

This lasts through minutes until I can move again.

I'm getting tired and my eyes are closing. I want to sleep, yet something keeps waking me up.

I don't know what it was. It felt so real. Even after it was over I could still feel the grip stopping me from turning around.

It's not the first time, but this time was worst.

And dreams usually don't repeat with the same actions.

I'm confused, was it dream or reality?
