(i went through each level by this order)
1: awareness trap: You know you're awake, you can see your room, but your body is completely frozen.

2: shadow watcher: While you're frozen, you start to feel like someone is in the room. (a figure, i usually pretend its not there. I am not looking at it. It is not looking at me. We have an agreement.)

3: Being pulled away: A demon grabbing or dragging you to another spot like from your bed (also floating above the bed, spinning, vibrating intensely, my personally experience is being dragged by the demon nonstop, but still in my bed. another attempt was when I was getting out of sleep paralysis and getting hypnic jerks like how you fidget tendons through your thumb, but waking up and doing the same jerk with your neck)

4: the chest demon: Something feels like it's sitting on your chest. You feel like you can't breathe, like something is pressing down on you. (My go-to move here is trying to wiggle my fingers. but the demon is really not that serious, your still breathing technically, sometimes I don't even see a demon)

5: the intruder: Now you start hearing things. Breathing next to you. Footsteps. And whatever is there, you can feel it. (first time I had a makeout session with my sleep paralysis, real sexual intercourse, it was wrapped around my entire back, breathing behind one ear, and grabbing me)

6: the dream bleed: When sleep paralysis overlap occurs during a vivid dream. Personally, this was my first attempt trying to lucid dream, your brain is in like a dissociative state whether in sleep or lucid dream. (it's like in sleep and not being able to get out of bed)

7: Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS):

(i personally experienced this when i've unlocked all, and it's most annoying by far)

It feels like parasomnia explosion, crash, bang, screeching, buzzing, or alarm, you feel a numbness in your head, almost like the sort of numbness when you get out of the toilet, toughout your whole body, while your in a sleep paralysis.

I’m honestly so done with how inaccessible "adulting" is, I think many of us raised don't grow to be adults that know everything.

I come from a background where my parents didn’t know how system worked like first-generation families, and having zero connections. I had an nmom didn't want me to work, they don't want me to be independent, and they’ve intentionally kept me from how to function.

If you don't have parents who act as your mentor, you’re just expected to magically know how to file taxes, how to find a job, maybe how to volunteer in a city just to survive or stay away from homelessness.

all these things come in a way, inefficient, and unassceisble, instead you have so much information on top of so much gunk and mess. Theres millions of websites, BUT there isn't one website that fits all these hundreds of topics and though theres governmental websites in a way it does, just unefficiently in a yank of legalese. Because government just want to use legacy systems, built by people who translate paper into websites, they use legalese, lawyer talk, You are expected to just know it. People with good backgrounds.

I don’t know what your stuck looks like today. Perhaps you’re navigating an abusive situation, your stressed, you don't know where the next step is. Many of us didn't grow up with the guiding hand of a protective parent, and that can make the world feel like a very lonely level to play through.

We are met with sterile instructions seeking for help feels like a lecture or a cold shoulder from someone waiting for their next paycheck.

It’s a frightening thought to me personally, to imagine a child in trouble, trying his best, seeing those three big numbers—9-1-1—and there's just some old cold professional grown up just following a script. And If you don't come from a background with those ready-made connections, you're left staring at a screen behind everyone else. There is so much noise social media, news, endless tabs of government documents and no clear starting point. you just have to say I have no idea what I'm doing and I feel behind. I wish I had clarity on what to do then.

It should be okay to be confused, and it’s okay to need a bit of help finding the path again. Just part of how the world works, makes it so hard, inefficient, and scary. Because I know feeling quite left behind by modern technology to people straight out of highschool, who simply don't have clarity. They are staring at a wall of noise social media, the news, endless tabs of government documents, jobs, family problems, with no clear starting point. It feels like the system was built to inform you of a rule.

life should not feel like being dropped into a game with no tutorial, for not already knowing how to do something.

We are in especially need for good mentors and most of us that don't have loving parent(s) or none at all, and the next thing thats just government pages that feel like someone copied a paper form onto a website. job sites that throw you into hundreds of listings with no explanation of what you’re qualified for or where to start.

I often think back to that game like the little Sackboy tumbling off a cliff, and the narrator’s voice: "Now occasionally you’re going to get stuck. It’s nothing to get upset about. Don’t go hurling your controller at the cat."

But I truly believe what we need in systems as a community as a world, is that it needs a bit more of that heartwarming clarity and reassurance, some more support besides what we have, no matter who you are.

I’m honestly so done with how inaccessible "adulting" is.

I come from a background where my parents didn’t know how the system worked, and honestly, like those foreign parents, and I have zero connections. For me I had an nmom, that didn't want me to work, they don't want me to be independent, and they’ve intentionally kept me in the dark about how to function.
