Last night I could not sleep. I fell asleep for an hour and woke up. Then I was trying to close my eyes but every time I did I would feel so odd. The same “nightmare” occurred but I was awake. I couldn’t move myself though and I tried to call out but nothing came out my mouth. I was petrified. In my awake state I felt like I was dreaming I was turning over in my dream but every time I did the room was pitch black. I felt so scared I couldn’t even move. I had white noise on for my baby who sleeps in the next to me and every time I felt like I was drifting off the white noise turned into screams and sometimes what sounded like children laughing.
I finally fell asleep but it happened countless times. I felt like something was in the room.
feel awful today. My whole body aches. I’m so scared it’ll happen again tonight.
any advice? Any similar experiences?
