A friend of mine works at one of our city's big professional hockey stadiums and calls it the "boy aquarium" and y'know what yes.

I would get so much fucking work done if I wasn't constantly worrying about money.

I was just thinking today how I wish I had a magical power that anytime someone tells me art isn't a real job or a valuable contribution to society, I can snap my fingers and they will no longer be able to experience any kind of art until they apologize.
It pisses me off so much that a lot of people think that acting or anything art related isn’t a realistic career choice, like what the fuck are you talking about??? how else do you think movies get made??

A lot of the supposed causes are just my normal baseline, (irregular sleep, not enough of it, stress, probable narcolepsy,) so it's a miracle I haven't had this happen to me before.. but once is enough!

I feel like I need several cigarettes. Even though I've never smoked a cigarette in my life.

Anyways. I'm shook. That was scary as fuck. Hope it never happens again. Now have major empathy for anyone who experiences this shit on the regular. Terrifying. Would not recommend.

Oh, and once I found I could move again I checked my phone and saw that the alarm was about to go off, so I deactivated it and laid there several minutes more. Once I felt like I was being pulled back into unconsciousness but I fought my way back out again; no way in hell was I falling back asleep.

Eventually I was able to break through by trying to sing "Push Back the Darkness" which is a contemporary worship song that just lives in my head because I was raised in a Baptist congregation in the '90s. And I woke up - for real this time, in my actual bedroom - mumbling those specific lyrics.

Something grabbed my feet and squeezed them - which kinda felt like a nice massage, tbh(??) - and I just kept trying and failing to say things, to move, to do ANYTHING. I don't know if I was making noises out loud in the real world or not but it felt like I was? Literal sensory nightmare.

I attempted to banish the malign presence: "begone, demon, in the name of Jesus Christ" but I could only think the words. I made a few strangled sounds but they felt thick in my mouth and my tongue wasn't working properly at all.

So I still couldn't move, and my throat also felt really constricted. Not like I was choking or being choked, but like it was just kinda.. closing up on its own. That's when the internal panic started, and the Evangelical Christian upbringing kicked in.

(My actual bedroom ceiling is painted dark brown, and I replaced the standard-issue dome light with an antique brass 3-bulb glass tulip shade chandelier when I first moved here.)

I opened my eyes to look at the one big dome light in the middle of the unpainted white ceiling. I blinked and the light looked like an upside down lotus flower. Blinked again and it was back to being a normal dome light fixture again. Why this detail? I do not know.

Approaching what I thought was consciousness, I found I couldn't move my limbs. The mattress felt like it was breathing under me - like, slowly rising and falling. And I both felt and heard something moving around under the bed, like someone was pushing against the underside of the boxspring.

So I went and laid down on the bed, in my bedroom, on top of the covers, lying on my back, hands folded on my stomach; set the alarm, fell asleep, started dreaming. A bunch of other stuff happened, but in the dream I woke up in a version of my bedroom that hadn't been painted yet.

Was working and feeling sleepy as I so often do in the early evening. Perfectly normal for me. It's also perfectly normal for me to go lie down, set an alarm for 10-15 minutes, pass out immediately, experience vivid dreams, and wake up on my own a minute or two before my alarm goes off.
