Night terror

Date: 1/22/2021

Lying in bed. Tossing and turning, trying to sleep. Wake-up light was coming on and looked different to normal. There was part of a torn up plastic cup in my pocket, which I hid inside the pillow to see if it was real (need to check). There was some kind of small changing animal on the night stand that I was trying to watch but couldn’t focus. We realised the cat may be an animagus and did not trust it. The dream elements were flashing in and out, the constant background was the dark bedroom and myself and her in the bed. Then I saw a dark figure at the edge of the bed. I tried to turn to look straight at it but I couldn’t turn my head. It came closer and I realised it was a demon. I tried so hard to get up and fight it but I could not move. It had come for her, but I couldn’t stop it. It came right to my side and I saw it was a black silhouette with scratchy grey eyes and a slightly open mouth. I knew I was paralysed, so I thought maybe if I woke her, she could wake me. I screamed (or gurgled - even this was difficult) until she woke me up.
