As a child, maybe about 7 or 8 years old, I woke up one morning to the sound of two people talking in the next room, with some laughter. Then all of a sudden two ghostly beings burst through the wall and rushed at me. The thing was, they were wearing underpants on their heads, and socks on their hands. It was clear that they were just being silly and scaring me for fun, which at the time felt like it made it all the more scary, cos it was just a joke to them. I was totally terrified, paralysed with fear.
Then I woke up again.
Oof, double wake-up are probably my least favorite dream anomaly, but then I’ve never had sleep paralysis.
I think what I had was sleep paralysis. It felt really real and I wasn’t able to scream. I might be wrong, tho. Ita the only time I’ve ever had it, if that what it was.
