Sleep Paralysis: A Nightmare in Wakefulness
Have you ever felt a heavy weight on your chest, unable to move? Maybe you've been through sleep paralysis. This terrifying state occurs when your mind comes to before your body, leaving you aware but stuck. It can be a deeply frightening experience, often accompanied by vivid dreams.

There, before me, stood a building, its paint faded and peeling, revealing the unsettling truth beneath: a door, painted a blood-chilling red.

As I grasped the cold metal doorknob, a feeling of overwhelming dread washed over me. I faltered, for a moment, but the compelling force of the door was too strong to resist.
