Last night, my sleep paralysis demon came to visit for the first time in like a decade. The dude breathed down my neck and all over my face and then he proceeded to touch my ear and stare right at me. It’s been 11 YEARS and he learned NOTHING about consent and personal space. Smh.

Here's what I learned: explanation isn't exorcism, but understanding transforms terror into respect for what our bodies are telling us. The Mara is real—but only as a messenger.
Have you met her? What was your experience? I'd love to hear your stories. #SleepParalysis

But the heaviness is balanced by moments of serenity and experimentation through the classical, acoustic and digital instruments.
Fever Dream in particular showcases this dexterity of sound as it stalks and creeps with piano, discordant riffs and chip tune beats.

The Weeknd has spoken about sleep paralysis—being unable to move, sensing shadow figures, hearing voices as dreams spill into waking life. In Hurry Up Tomorrow, those moments become cinema, where fear, identity, and the dream-state collide. #TheWeeknd #SleepParalysis #ElsewhereDreams

🧠 FACT: Sleep Paralysis demons often appear as the same figure worldwide: a tall, dark entity, sometimes wearing a hat ("The Hat Man"). Cultures across continents developed independent legends for this one recurring hallucination. #SleepParalysis

This one is called “Sleep Paralysis”.
I was experiencing sleep paralysis pretty frequently at the time so, I decided to paint about it. It’s one of my only oil paintings.

Sleep Paralysis or Demonic Possession? The Night She Couldn’t Move… #horror #shorts #sleepparalysis
She woke up in the middle of the night — eyes open, heart racing, but completely frozen. A dark figure stood in the corner… watching. Then, it moved closer. She could feel it breathing, pressing down on her chest, whispering her name. Doctors say it’s sleep paralysis — your body trapped between dream and wake. But every culture on Earth has another name for it:

In Newfoundland folklore, the Old Hag—a gnarled crone—perches on your chest at midnight, causing sleep paralysis and terrifying hallucinations. Beware the whispering weight of the Old Hag! #OldHag #SleepParalysis #NFLD 🍁
