A Living Nightmare Poem by Bill Cantrell

A Living Nightmare

Rating: 4.0


Sleep Paralyses
Not fully asleep,
not fully awake
Loud buzzing in head,
accompanied by scary voice
trying to get me to give in somehow,
to something I have no idea
With all my energy, after several times,
Trying to move or shout,
I sometimes come out of it,
Only to slip back into this living nightmare
as I try to go back sleep

Please update me on your progress. I've been a staunch believer in meditation all my life. It has literally saved my life on several occasions!

I get paid more than £145 to £395 per HOUR for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily £23k from this without having online working skills. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site… Here's what I do__________C­A­S­H­4­6.C­O­M

During sleep paralysis try to remain calm and still. Do not fight it! Visualizing being surrounded by White Light may help. Meditation before breakfast and supper will be of great benefit to you. I speak from experience. Hats off to you for your honesty!
