A Living Nightmare Poem by Bill Cantrell
A Living Nightmare
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
A nice depiction of the scary experience of a nightmare. Good.
Insomnia is very common problem, nicely dealt with in this poem.5****
Thank you Robert, I never thought of that, I'll talk to my daughter about it, thank you very much my friend
A brilliant poem dear friend! My great pleasure revisiting it. To mypoemlist
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!
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!
