It Happens At Night...

Ever notice how in the still of the night, when everyone is sleeping, normal everyday sounds sound 3 times louder than usual?

I have an over active imagination at night and I'm my own worse enemy freaking myself out. I sometimes have hypnagogic sleep paralysis now and then which I haven't for a few months so some scenes represent that as well. Then thrown in are some things that creep me out; dolls coming to life, radios turning on by themselves, etc.

In making this a sense of healing has occured in a way that I'm not so scared of the dark so much, now. :)

*Viewer discretion, some sights and sounds might scare minors.
And NO, Linda Blair or some other hideous image isn't going to jump out at the end and scream!

Is this what is known as hypnagogia?

[MzFX]

That's the type I experienced yes. I think there are different levels and whatnot.

It doesn't bother me anymore, I learnt to relax and now I astral project. So maybe it was a starting point for that. :)

The eyes (yours?) are so intense in the beginning. I feel many things looking at them. This video really captures the inner state of fear. Cool!

Thank you eaglecrowowl, I tried to capture the one thing that really freaks me out at night when it happens(HSP), because it is a real thing that does happen to the point of the ritualistic pleaing to God for protection. Yes, they are my eyes all through the clip. Thank you again for your comment. :)

nice editing, and yes, those sounds at night-- eek, I hear the floor creaking right now . . .

[MzFX]

Thank you Appropriator! I'll have to look at the better editing software when I can figure it all out. There's so many options in them. This was edited with Windows Movie Maker which I still haven't looked at all the options, and played around with alot of it yet. Early days for me I guess. Thank you again for commenting. :)

Spectacular job on the sounds. I can relate to most of them during hypnogogia. The visuals compliment the piece niecely, as you can almost feel what she's going through. Not always sure if you're awake or asleep, the hallucinations clutter you into confusion. The eyes really express the panic well.

dare I ask the source of your sounds and the sound editing software you used?
