Remember how I mentioned that I had never seen any supernatural beings on my previous entry? I LIED!!! XP I see them every now and then throughout my course of life
Well, it's not that I fully lied.. there's a couple of conditions that I need to meet before I see them: 1) I must be half-asleep, 2) I need to be fully aware that I am asleep, 3) I need to have a dream. So, practically I can only see them in my dream, when I am aware that I am half-asleep, in the form of hallucination. Therefore, my claim to be able to see supernatural beings are totally unreliable.
Usually, when I experience this, I will experience fear in the intensity that almost can be described as outworldly. I won't be able to move my body as well during this whole 'tranced' session. (and no, I am not doing drugs) A condition described as 'ketimpa setan' in Indonesian, or probably 'tertindih hantu' in the proper Melayu term. This usually ends when I finally managed to open my eyes, or move my fingers... which usually takes ALL MY STRENGTH.. =.=
While it sounds like a horrible experience, once you've got used to it, it actually gave quite a good after-taste, a sense of euphoria, a trance of securities and reassurance. Personally thinking this as an awesome experience, I figured that it'd be nice to share some of the creepiest ones with all of you fellow bloggers.. =D
1) It was a few months after I stepped my foot in UK. I was still adjusting myself to the lifestyle here and was stressed out on my very first uni assignment in this country. When I finally managed to fall asleep, I dreamt about a vengeful spirit residing on top of my bloody wardrobe (despite of having only few inches room between the wardrobe and the ceiling, the spirit managed to instill the idea of him being 'human-sized' in my mind) It was when I caught the sight of him that he swung his huge blood-stained cleaver right to my face which gave me enough shock to got me awake from my dream..... just to find him STANDING IN FRONT OF MY BED still with his HUGE BLOOD-STAINED CLEAVER. I was genuinely terrified and realized that I couldn't move any of my body parts at all. After approximately half a minute of struggle, I managed to move my pinky finger (YAY!!!) and it vanishes before my eyes... OH WAIT, MY EYES ARE STILL CLOSED!!!
Yea, this was the bastard that lived on my 3 inches gap between my wardrobe and my ceiling... worse thing? girl in picture was not living with him....
2) Biochemistry is probably the worst subject during my whole entire college life. It was actually the first subject that managed to get me skips my sleeping session just to study for a bloody test... which only worth 15% of the module =.='' It was a beautiful morning, deprived from sleep, extremely stressed out of the coming test, and having the Biochem textbook right in front of my eyes, I am still struggling to both keeping myself awake and stuffing those texts into my now overloaded brain. I decided that I would do this while lying sideway on the bed... and BOOM!!!
All of the sudden, I felt heavy, there was someone lying right behind me on my very bed (I was living alone in a single room which is more like a closet than a room) and HUGGED me from behind. This person, apparently is genderless, and sounds like a PIG.. It SNORTS all the way to my mind. Once again, despite of being terrified out of my life, I still thought it'd be better if I can see the bloody creature who sneak attacked me in my sleep deprivation, so I tried to turn my head only to find that I can't bloody move it. Again, I struggled for about 2-3 minutes just to find it vanishes into thin air at the end. I never caught the sight of that bloody pervert..... And no, this was NOT a sex dream.
Wanted: Sick Snorting Perv, most likely a homosexual, tends to attack the victim from behind while they are desperately flipping thick textbook.... Warning: Upon contact, don't attempt to have kinky thoughts!!!!
3) When I was still 7 years old brat I used to sleep in a king sized bed together with my sister and brother. There was one night when I couldn't sleep for some reason. After about 2-3 hours of self-hypnotizing session, I finally find my eyelid to be heavy (but not my brain), and I closed my eyes......
WHY THE F**K AM I STILL SEEING THE ROOM? WAIT!! WHAT?? I THOUGHT YOU TWO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING!!? WTF!!!? STOP JUMPING ON THE BED!!! I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!!! STOP IT OR I'LL HIT YOU TWO!! I M NOT JOKING!! OMFG!! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!? I CAN'T MOVE AT ALL!!! STOP LAUGHING!! STOP!!!!!
Well, that's what runs through my mind in a brief minute before I opened my eyes again just to find my brother and sister still sleeping at the very same position as before. And when I closed my eyes again, they rise again... jumped on the bed again... staring at me with their dark, VERY dark eyes, laughing eerily with Joker-trying-to-murder-everyone kind of laugh... It repeated for at least 10 more times before I finally think it wasn't scary at all and fell asleep....
Now that i think of it, I kinda have some idea about how my mind got so f**ked up now...=.=''
Fun Fact:
Sleep paralysis (which is the experience that I'm talking in this blog) is apparently one of the gateway to lucid dreams, a kind of dream in which you are aware that it was a dream and held a full control of it. I had one when I saw that cleaver dude and had a wonderful sex with some sort of Jessica Alba and Keira Knightley hybrid until that cleaver dude re-appear and ruined everything =.='' (DEMYUH cleaver dude!!)
