Stress Induced Nightmares & Sleep Paralysis

Nightmare: Chords

My body finally relaxes enough to fall asleep. It's dark for a while then suddenly a bright white. I'm in an empty room that is entirely white. It's not a room it's just an infinite horizon of pure white. My eyes slightly hurt from the brightness. I'm quickly overcome with the sudden feeling of panic. Why am I panicking? Everything flashes to darkness for a second then the white comes back into view. There's chords surrounding me now. In one swift motion some are wrapped around my legs like that one scene in Jigsaw where the guy's leg is held in place by wires that are cutting into his flesh. I know it's not real I just need to wake up. The chords tighten. It hurts. My eyes open instantly as I breathe heavily. I'm awake now. I need to get sleep though. I fall asleep quickly. The chords wrap around my upper arms and are still in the same place around my legs. This time the ones around my legs are tighter and my skin is starting to bleed. Should I attempt to struggle? No! It's probably a trap and any movement will just make it worse. The chords around my arms start to cut into my skin. I feel myself let out a whimper but no sound comes out. I'm released from the event in my head as I snap back to reality sweating. Again I fall asleep. The chords are now around my torso and legs. Tears form in my eyes but refuse to fall. I can hear mumbling in the distance that I can't understand. The voice is unfamiliar to me. I slowly awake yet again but fade back into slumber. This time I can still hear the mumbling. And the chords are where they were from the previous part. Something is off though. I feel like I'm still slightly conscious. I'm about to feel my body in the real world tossing and turning but I'm asleep. The mumbling gets louder but still incomprehensible and distant sounding. The chords start moving quickly. I can't tell if they're releasing or wrapping around me more. All I can think of is back to that scene from Jigsaw. They're going to cut me to pieces aren't they?! My body jolts awake. I wait a minute trying to give myself some time to relax from the chaos of the nightmare. Unfortunately I end up falling asleep again but it's just darkness. At least it's better than what it was...
