Parker Elway is having dreams. Strange dreams; waking dreams; dreams in which she opens her eyes in the darkness to find herself paralyzed and surrounded by shadows from her deepest nightmares. The doctors call it sleep paralysis. But is it really so simple? As the waking terrors worsen and strange people begin to appear in town, Parker sets out to uncover the truth. And when she digs up a trove of hidden secrets and a dark past that everyone seems all too eager to forget, she begins to wonder: is her terrifying dream world merely the result of a sleep disorder? Or is it reality?

Her Secret Admirer by UnknownAngel_SG

She was pretty and kind-the quiet girl who never dated, never even cared to try. Relationships meant nothing to her, because her heart already belonged to one person: Alex. She had never met him. Never seen his face. Yet his presence haunted her dreams, his words etched themselves into her soul. He was a mystery... and her obsession. But then everything changed. A new student arrived. Striking. Magnetic. Dangerous in ways she couldn't put into words. For the first time, her heart raced for someone real-someone who wasn't just a shadow in her mind. Now she's caught between two worlds: the faceless Alex who has claimed her heart for years, and the boy who stands before her, awakening something she can't control. But nothing is as it seems. Alex isn't just a dream. And this new boy isn't who he appears to be. To find the truth, she must confront the impossible, uncover secrets buried in darkness, and face a choice that could destroy her. Because love can be a lie. And sometimes... it's deadly.

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name. by itzthatgirlchi11

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.

WOKE: After Death by reborncoder

What if death wasn't the end... but the beginning of something worse? Hridoy should've died in the accident. But his mind woke up - not in a body or the afterlife, but trapped in a cold, sterile machine. No heartbeat. No voice. Just consciousness floating in a tank. Memories are accessed like files. Emotions are monitored like code. He's not a person anymore - he's a project. But Hridoy remembers who he was. And something inside him refuses to fade. As he pieces together the truth of what happened, he discovers a terrifying secret: He's not the only one. And the line between life and death was never as solid as we thought.

In the Mind by Ali_A1

To most people, dreams are created inside one's head. Merely one's imagination while they sleep. A nightmare being the more satanic imagination one's mind creates. But almost all can agree that dreams and nightmares are just one's imagination. Nothing more than a mere image. However, 13 year old Elijah disagrees after being haunted over and over again from the creature within his nightmares. Little by little, it takes a piece of his life, leaving him more and more alone. Desperate to find out why he's being tortured, he searches to find answers. But the creature becomes more horrid and aggressive. Will Elijah end the beast's attempts to break apart his life, or will he be left with nothing at all?

More Than My Body by inkoftheunseen

They gave her six months to live. But what if the real danger didn't start until she tried to survive? Alina Reyes has always fought to stay in control-even as her mysterious illness chips away at her strength, her memories, and her future. When a fatal diagnosis leaves her with one last, desperate option, she agrees to join a secretive experimental trial at an isolated mountain facility. The treatment might save her life. But it might also cost her everything else. Inside the high-tech compound, Alina meets Dr. Elias Vance: brilliant, closed-off, and hiding a past that could ruin them both. As the trial begins, strange things start happening-hallucinations, disappearances, encrypted files, and whispers of a darker agenda beneath the surface of the so-called cure. The deeper Alina digs, the more she realizes: This trial isn't just about healing. It's about control. And in a place where your memories can be rewritten... How do you know what's real?

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.

She Who Remembers by Rihanna_Verel

Velvet wakes in a cold white room with no memory, a stranger's reflection in the mirror, and a haunting song echoing in her head. Her name, her past, her love-they've all been stolen. Replaced. As whispers follow her through sterile halls and porcelain-faced dolls watch her sleep, Velvet begins to unravel the truth: she is part of a twisted experiment where memories can be erased, rewritten, and sold. The Dread Doctors call it progress. The elites call it salvation. But for Velvet, it's a prison. Hunted by her own clone and betrayed by the man she once loved, Velvet must escape the labyrinth of false lives before she forgets who she truly is. Along the way, a nurse with secrets, a lover with divided memories, and a trail of crimson flowers lead her deeper into a conspiracy that warps love, identity, and time. Because somewhere beneath the lies and layers... She still remembers.
