I had a frightening experience a while ago. I probably had a nighmare, I woke up, but my body was paralised (this happens, when we are sleeping many of our muscles are semi paralised). I couldn.t move at all. And when i looked around the room i saw a lot of shades and eyes, they were making no sounds but they were moving. At some point one of them looked like a crow (or vampire i don.t know how to call it) and suddenly came next to me. Apparentely it had a knife and was going to stab me. I wanted to scream but i couldn't. I wanted to cry but i couldn't. I knew i was not dreaming but i couldn't believe what was happening. Inside me I was screaming loudly but nobody could hear me.
I don.t remember what happened next. Truth is that all the details that were in the room at that moment( blanked on the floor, books on the desk etc) were the same when i woke up again. It was daylight, and some time from that day i couldn't sleep without a lamp open.
