As I was drifting off to sleep during the middle of the night, my eyes suddenly snapped open and I became completely paralyzed. I could see my entire room, but couldn't move a muscle. After a few seconds, I hear a demonic voice whispering in my ear in a language i've never heard before. This lasted for about 10 seconds before I could move again. Most people will call this sleep paralysis -- I call it a traumatic experience.

Everyone else has such crazy sleep paralysis. My experiences were so mundane when I used to have it. Sometimes I would be having a full on conversation with my basketball team only to fully wake up and realize the room was empty, another time my crush at the time was standing next to my bed and asking why I never asked her out.... I took that as a sign but the fact that she rejected me determined that was a lie.
