Somewhere between dream and reality, what I experienced. Those nights are more than a nightmare! I grew up in a middle-class family at Andul, West Bengal, India. Loneliness is a part of my life since childhood. My dad always being in an outstation due to professional reasons. My mom remains busy with my little brother and handling households. I was nine when my brother was born. Then I left in a room with a lot of books, pens, colors and a blank canvas of loneliness.  I remember the night during my college days, I fall asleep so hard. I think the incident happened to me between 2 to 3 am. I needed help, I wanted to scream, but I could not. I saw that but was unable to move. It was so a terrible night. I could not sleep for a couple of weeks after that incident. It was so horrifying feelings that I cannot express in a word.
In the year 2017, again it happened to me, but in a different manner. I was not scared this time but felt assaulting by something, which I could not see! It was horrible in its own way.

Every time I feel, am I going to die? Or it's just a dream! Something is pressing on my chest and I can't breathe. Hallucinating so much, like some evil was continuously looking at me. Sometimes divine and lift me off from the bed. Something supernatural but I am unable to see it.
After that hilarious period when I could be able to move, I was still scared as I felt if I turn on the light, I could be able to see some evil, which may kill me!
Sometimes, after the incident, I slept again, but most of the time I ran away to my mother’s bedroom.

Then again, I spent sleepless nights for a couple of weeks.
I started to research a lot from the year 2016 and came to know that it is called Sleep paralysis, and many people experienced a similar kind of incident.
Thinking to express that feeling through my photographs, I started capturing pictures from the real world what is similar to my experience on sleep paralysis. I believe I will be able to make understand people who don't know about this and who know but have no experience of that. In many cases, I experienced disbelief of this incident, when I informed people about the incident happened to me. I hope, my project would be an illuminative feat for the society...
