A new episode of the Waking Nightmare video series has just been released through the Paranormal Network YouTube channel, and you can check it out in the embed above. In this one, a woman wants to cry for help while experiencing sleep paralysis… but she can’t get the scream out!
Waking Nightmare is an anthology series that chronicles real stories of people’s experiences with sleep paralysis. Each episode in the series will retell a different, separate nightmare.
What is sleep paralysis, you ask? It is a transient state between waking and sleeping where the body is immobile and the mind will often hallucinate, combining dreams with the real world around the dreamer. While some people grow accustomed to this unusual occurrence, it is typically the cause for immense fear and anxiety. This feeling is what we wished to capture by recreating the dreams we were told, creating a shared experience that can help foster a place for people to share their own stories.
