First notebook entry: Introducing myself Last week was a hard week to my wife. She works at a language school in local Uni. It is just the beginning of winter vacation courses, so she has hectically been struggled with a lot of work and students. I think, that may the reason she had the Sleep Paralysis last night. In Korea, we call it ‘Ka-Wee-Nool-Rim’ which means being pressed by ‘Ka-wee’ ghost. Yes, she actually felt as if someone was pressing down on her chest by hands. Even she was not able to lift a finger tip as if she was turned into a stone statue. She opened her eyes. Then, she realized that four indistinct strangers were staring at her as standing just beside bed. She was so scared and frightened. She tried screaming and calling me who was sleeping peacefully beside at her. But she couldn’t… She couldn’t open mouth, couldn’t say anything at all. Even worse, two of them started whispering on her ears, ‘die…die.. Well, actually it didn’t happen. She just dreamed a terrible nightmare because I was not sleeping, I was watching a YouTube clip by my iPad. She reproached me for not awaking her up despite she had been calling me so eagerly. But it is not true. She hadn’t called me at all. It was just a dream, very real like. Most of those ‘dreamers’ claim that it is like real. They think they really opened eyes and awaken since it is too vivid and detailed. Often they explains and describe the scene in detail like a cup on table, friends who watching TV beside them, belighted room light and so on. But nothing is real. They realize that no cup is on table, no one is at room, and the light is off. Commonly, the dreamers say that they; - experience when they are so tired physically and so stressed. - feel drowning down when they are about falling in sleep(so they know it will happen) - feel a lot of press on body and cannot move in dream. - see someone or some people as standing beside or riding on them. - feel the dream is so vivid and real. - repeatedly dream again if they rarely awake themselves. Some experience so easily and often. Most scary case I heard is that the 'Ka-wee' pulled hair into under bed as stabbing chest with a sharp gimlet. Luckily, I have never dreamed it. Thanks God.
