1er concurso de la comunidad Mundo Onírico: Cuéntanos un sueño que te haya impactado y explica por qué (ES/EN)

Hola gente de internet! ¿Cómo están? Muchas gracias a mi hermana @mairene1 por invitarme a este concurso, la verdad es que yo no suelo recordar con mucha exactitud mis sueños, aunque hubo una época en la tuve muchas parálisis del sueño muy seguido, en ese entonces yo no tenía ni idea acerca de eso, ni porqué ocurría ni de qué se trataba, absolutamente nada, así que la primera vez que ocurrió fue una experiencia doblemente aterradora, primero por las imágenes que vi y en segundo lugar por no entender que estaba pasando, así que el día de hoy vengo a hablarles de esa experiencia tan traumática.

Hello internet people, how are you? Many thanks to my sister @mairene1 for inviting me to this contest, the truth is that I don't usually remember my dreams very accurately, although there was a time when I had many sleep paralysis very often, at that time I had no idea about it, nor why it happened or what it was about, absolutely nothing, so the first time it happened was a doubly frightening experience, first for the images I saw and secondly for not understanding what was happening, so today I come to tell you about that traumatic experience.

I would like to invite to this contest my cousin @emperatriz1503 @promete0sz and @erigm, I hope they will be encouraged to participate 😉.

First of all I must clarify what sleep paralysis is, it is a disorder in which the person, despite being awake, can not move, sometimes remains in limbo between the dreamlike and real terrain. It occurs in the change of sleep cycle, when it goes from REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movements) to NoRem, it is assumed that the body has, so to speak, a kind of "switch" that prevents us from moving while we sleep, which prevents us from executing any of the movements we do in dreams, and as we wake up that "switch" is deactivated, but sometimes it remains active for a few seconds or even a few minutes and somehow we are still linked to the part where the most vivid dreams and nightmares are experienced, so we find ourselves there, in our bed, paralyzed with horror while we see the most Dantesque creatures we can imagine, terrifying, isn't it?

What happened to me some time ago was that I fell asleep normally, suddenly I started dreaming that I was walking through a very old and unknown house for me (I had never been there) you could tell it was old because it was colonial style, high ceilings and so on. I arrived to a very long corridor and that's when I started to feel that something was wrong, I felt watched and stalked all the time, in fact I woke up but I could not move, however I could see how some hands emerged from the wall next to my bed (they literally went through the wall), they took my face and then something or someone began to lick my ear, that thing only spoke, with a guttural and frightening voice, to tell me its name (which fortunately I do not remember).

I was terribly frustrated because I could not move and escape, confused because I knew I was awake, fully conscious and of course I was terrified, until I finally regained my mobility and woke up my sister, she hugged me and asked me to pray, which we did immediately. Then I investigated a little more about it and discovered that it was not only happening to me, it is a rare phenomenon but it still happens to other people. Fortunately I discovered that the phenomenon occurred more often when I slept on my back, so since I started avoiding that position the night terrors decreased and I haven't even had one in years, thank God.

And friends that was my terrible dream experience, I hope it has helped you to learn something about it and document a little more in case it has ever happened to you or you are experiencing it frequently, I know it is scary but it is not something paranormal, but something physical, it is just a sleep disorder, however, of course prayer helps a lot when you are a believer because God never forsakes us or let us suffer when we turn to him in faith.
