The final installment of the Paranormal Network anthology series Waking Nightmare has just been released – and you can check it out in the embed above! In this episode, titled Melt, we watch as a melting demon attacks a woman while she’s experience sleep paralysis. And it gets pretty gross.
Waking Nightmare is an anthology series that chronicles real stories of people’s experiences with sleep paralysis. Each episode in the series will retell a different, separate nightmare.
What is sleep paralysis, you ask? It is a transient state between waking and sleeping where the body is immobile and the mind will often hallucinate, combining dreams with the real world around the dreamer. While some people grow accustomed to this unusual occurrence, it is typically the cause for immense fear and anxiety. This feeling is what we wished to capture by recreating the dreams we were told, creating a shared experience that can help foster a place for people to share their own stories.
