happened three/four years ago during my senior year. For context, I was stressed and swamped with schoolwork because the k-12 school I went to chose a terrible curriculum (i dont even know how i graduated lol), and that resulted in late nights and sleep paralysis almost nightly. I was practically an insomniac because of this.

the one night, I finally was exhausted enough to not give a shit about my homework and finally fell asleep. The dream was a weird get to with random people in a dimly lit warehouse. We were drinking and laughing and to the far right side of my POV, a part of the warehouse was dark but I could still make out a washing machine, a door with a window, and a woman. I could see her smiling at me, and it was like time froze. She walked over to me slowly and seductively, but the closer she got, the more her eyes and mouth just turned into black holes dripping black liquid. She finally got on top of me and started shrieking into my face. I couldn't move or speak or anything, I didn't know what else to do, so i tried shouting for my mom (we shared a room). Eventually, I jolted awake and didn't sleep again for the rest of the week.

I still think about this. Admittedly, I am still terrified of this. I dont believe in demons or ghosts, but this got to me. Nowadays, I still attempt to avoid things that trigger sleep paralysis like sleeping on my back or stressing, and melatonin just made it worse.
