I just had to bolt from the bed to write this post. I was in the middle of a "brain break" after brainstorming for awhile on my boyfriend's thesis film script when I fell asleep and slipped into an episode of "sleep paralysis" or urom/bangugot as us locals prefer to call it, and now I'm kind of afraid to go back to sleep for the meantime. I'm sitting here sipping red wine from a tea cup (desperate measures), trying to calm myself down and figuring out the propensity of my nightmare and how I slipped to-and-fro the subconscious and the conscious and back... how I knew I was kind of awake, and kind of not, but I couldn't bring myself to wake up, and shadows danced around as my eyes tried to slip away from REM... freaky shit.
I know that there's always a less freaky, non-supernatural reason as to why sleep paralysis happens to some of us, but it's still perturbing how dreams can be THAT pervasive when they want to be.
Did this ever happen to you before? Stress related or not, whatever the cause for it, I can't crawl back to bed. Not right now, at least.
Outfit post is totally unrelated to this post. Took this during a press conference I attended last week. For some reason this outfit makes me smile.
Much love to all of you, and may you sleep soundly tonight, sleep paralysis-free xx
