What a wonderful thing sleep is, until you wake up trapped in your bed and a huge figure with glowing red eyes stands over you.
Horrifying dreams are something we can all relate to, but is it a coincidence people are seeing the same sleep demons, or is there something else going on?
This ep we discuss nightmares and their meanings and the shared experiences people have all over the world during sleep paralysis. As well as our own worst nightmares.
