Sleep Paralysis is scary

Sleep paralysis is scary? Yeah, no doubt about it. It is extremely scary and I really hate it. I've been through it a lot. That's why I started to do some reading about this sleeping beauty killer. Meh kita tngok dulu apa yng dimaksudkan dengan sleep paralysis ataupun yang seringkali kita dengar adalah "hantu tindih"

"Sleep Paralysis bermaksud “lumpuh ketika tidur”. Seluruh anggota badan menjadi lumpuh sementara (temporary paralysis) ketika kita sedang tidur. Bila ianya berlaku, ada kalanya seluruh anggota badan tidak boleh digerakkan langsung termasuk mulut tidak boleh bercakap. Tetapi kebiasaannya badan akan menjadi separuh lumpuh dan mungkin ada anggota badan yang lain boleh bergerak."

That's it, a brief definition! Before this I never believe about this when people around me talk about their experience of having it. Now, I'm in their shoes. Serve me right yeah?
I got the first experience when I was in Maktab. I remember very well that I saw my myself at a very unfamiliar and creepy place. I noticed that it was a graveyard. I felt awake yet I couldn't move my body. My room mate was sleeping soundly right beside me and I could see all that  but I wasn't able to ask for help. As that was my very first experience, I cried a lot the next day and I told my family about it. 

Lama lepas tu, saya tak rasa apa- apa until la one night something weird happened to me again. That night, i slept facing the wall. Suddenly i opened my eyes and the wall is still in front of me but again, I couldn't move. I heard a voice saying , " kenapa risau akan dunia....." something like that la, i forgot already". I'm still figuring the meaning of those words till now. 

After that, it became worse because I will go through it almost everytime when I go to sleep. Tak kira la tidur pagi ke, petang ke, malam ke, memang akan ada. I really love to sleep yeah and I admit that! I sleep when i got free time. But now, asal time nak tido jak aku was- was. The fear is always there. Setiap kali aku tutup mata, nyawa aku rasa terbang. Ni menyebabkan aku kadang2 menggerakkan diri sendiri setiap kali nak terlelap. 

I miss to be the sleeping beauty :(
