Sleep Paralysis: When Your Mind Traps You
Have you ever felt a heavy weight on your chest, unable to speak? Maybe you've been through sleep paralysis. This terrifying experience occurs when your mind wakes up before your body, leaving you conscious but immobilized. It can be a deeply frightening experience, often accompanied by vivid dreams.
During sleep paralysis, your body is in a state of REM sleep, the stage associated with dreaming. Normally, our muscles are paralyzed during this stage to prevent us from moving our dreams. However, in sleep paralysis, this paralysis remains even when we become aware. This can lead to a feeling of being trapped and helpless. The feeling can be so intense that it can trigger panic attacks.
While sleep paralysis is not harmful, it can be a frequent problem for some people. Stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation are often associated to episodes of sleep paralysis. If you go through frequent or disturbing episodes, it's important to seek advice from a healthcare professional.

There, before me, stood a building, its paint faded and peeling, revealing the eerie truth beneath: a door, painted a shocking red.
The impression of this red door sent a chill down my spine. It was as if it beat with an unnatural energy, drawing me in with its magnetism. I moved towards the door, my hand trembling, my heart pounding against my ribs like a trapped bird.
As I grasped the cold metal doorknob, a feeling of unbearable dread washed over me. I paused, for a moment, but the pulling force of the door was too strong to resist.
