Sleep paralysis

[Mr. Moncrieff]

I've had sleep paralysis a few times, but thankfully never with hallucinations.

My sister suffers from it quite often, along with night terrors. She sees people come into the room and they say horrible things and then they physically hurt her. She can actually feel the pain, too. Poor thing used to sleep in my room for a few nights (sometimes weeks) after a bad one because she'd be too scared to sleep alone when she lived with me.

That's dreadful. It's bade enough without the hallucinations.

That is just appalling to consider.

Poor darling.
