Good evening, folks! I apologize for missing last night’s drawing. I was inspired to do some writing so I stayed up doing that instead of the drawing. I’ll make it up to you with a double drawing tonight. Here’s the first.
“I open my mouth to scream, but there is no sound.”
This drawing is based on something that’s been coming up frequently as of late, and that is the phenomenon known as sleep paralysis. A dear friend of ours talked about her experience with it, and lo and behold, we see a documentary about it on Netflix called The Nightmare.
The basic idea is that when your body goes into REM sleep, it becomes paralyzed. Sometimes, your mind wakes up before your body does, and you remain in a state of physical paralysis while your mind remains in a waking-dream state of limbo. People who have experienced sleep paralysis often report hearing sounds of people walking around them, or seeing shadow people out of the corner of their eyes. Some have reported direct confrontations.
In this image, imagine waking up to see them standing over you. There are three, and one is reaching toward you. The shape of the light coming through the window is projected on the ceiling and you can see it outlining their silhouettes, but that’s all. There are no other details you can gather about them.
Freaky!
Look for another post soon!
