When I open my eyes, all I see is darkness covering our room . "*Sight* the lampshade turned off again, I murmured". As I used to it, because there were really nights that when I woke up our lampshade was off. So I try to reach my phone to check the time, as I also needed to prepare my son's milk and at the same time I can use it's flashlight to fix the lampshade. But this time I can't reach my phone. I remember I just put it behind our bed as I always do, but it wasn't there this time.
I try to rise but I can't move my body, I can't even move my feet and I felt there's something heavy above me. I tried to look around but it is really impossible for me to see anything. I try to call my partner but there's no voice came out from my mouth. Then suddenly our door open, I suddenly wonder when it opens, because we don't normally close our door. Yes, we usually slept while our door open, to let some air come inside our room. Then I saw a shadow coming inside, I try to recognize it but I can't recognize who's shadow was that. I suddenly felt strange, thinking that it might be a thief. So I try again to call my partner, but there's really no voice came out from me. I'm starting to panic as i slowly reflected the shadow coming near to us. I try so hard to move my body but I cannnn'tttttt. I try to shout and call my mother-in- law, mommy??!! I was so scared and terrified, I keep on trying to move my body but I really can't .
Then I reflected the shadow look at my side, did he noticed me? I suddenly felt my heart beat rising. I panicked a lot when I reflected the shadow was already in front of me. I can't see it's face but only a dark shadow. I get scared as I keep on trying to move my body away from that shadow, but it keeps on trying to reach me. Until it touches my neck and try to choke me. Please..No!!! Stop please who are you? Though there's no voice but my mind was fighting. It touches my neck so strong as it has a plan to kill me. I was really scared and I'm started crying. I'm slowly suffocating and felt like I'm losing my breath. I suddenly remember my son, feeling sorry as I felt I'm dying from that moment. I keep on begging some help in my mind but nobody hears me, until I hear my son was crying. I try to fight my fear's and give my best to free myself from that shadow. I screamed like I can make a noise.! I need to see my son, my sons needs me! That's what I have in my mind that time. Then I suddenly felt a pain in my face, and felt like I'm being shakes by someone.
Jenny!! Jenny, wake up!!!
Your having a nightmare, wake up!!
I cried out loud as I open my eyes and saw my partner in front of me! I was shaking with fear's and I felt my heart was beating so fast. I hug him tight while thanking him for waking me up!! I thought I'm gonna die. I thought that was the end of me. I'm catching my breath while I'm telling my partner about my nightmare.
He told me that he woke up because he hears me moaning and he hears a noise from a thing that fell in our floor. He saw that it's my phone, and he saw me crying and trying to catch some breath, so he immediately woke me up and when I didn't respond he decided to slap me.
Until now, I still don't know why I got a nightmare last night. The last time I got nightmare was 2014 and it didn't happen again. Last night I remember I had my insomnia and slept too late, it was already 12 midnight when I totally fall asleep. Then I had that nightmare at 2:30 A.M and i found it hard to sleep again after that. I'm so scared closing my eyes, as I might have another nightmare again.
Have you guys got the same nightmare as mine?
I searched in Google about the common cause of nightmare and it says that stress and anxiety can triggered nightmares.
I was trying to write these, this morning but my son is having his tantrums. So I just read some articles to relax my mind.
This is all for now guy's.
Thank you for reading.

Hola me gusto mucho tu artículo. Aunque parece como una historia irreal se que ES REAL pues lo que tu llamas pesadilla es lo que se conoce como PARALISIS DEL SUEÑO o tambien se dice que es cuando un demonio llamado INCUBUS te visita.
Esto lo se porque a mi esposo le pasa al igual que tu. Y segun lo que él dice es una SENSACION DE MUERTE. Busque en internet y averigue lo que le pasaba se lo mostre y me dijo que si que era tal cual. Y pasa generalmente cuando la persona esta muy estresada. Bueno nos veremos en gus proximas publicaciones pues ya me suscribi y te seguire leyendo. Saludos
