“Glossary (page 145) sleep paralysis A natural and helpful condition during dreaming. Our body paralyses the muscles we use to move so that we don't physically carry out the actions from our dreams, which would result in injury. Some of our muscles, such as eye muscles, and those that regulate involuntary actions, such as our breathing, remain functional. See hypnopompic sleep paralysis for a special and frightening case.”

“Glossary (pages 145-146) sublucid dream Dreams in which a person's conscious mind is operating and trying to make sense of the dream, but does not realize that it is dreaming. This attempt to make sense of the dream can alter the content of the dream to meet the expectations of the dreamer. However, unlike with lucid dreams, the dreamer cannot deliberately control the contents of the dream. We are often sublucid when, in our dreams, our conscious mind intrudes to try to make sense of the inherent strangeness of the dream. We often experience confusion in such dreams.”

“Good Morning Sinkhole by Stewart Stafford Lucky birdshit on my window, A split-second awakening, Another landslide out of bed, Flailing in duvet quicksand. Clawing at the walls going down, Assume precarious crab-walk position, Straining every fibre to avoid collapsing, Land ho! with a fingertip mattress grab. Steadying myself, I drag my carcass up, Shaky leg muscles gain some relief, Retake Altar of Id with a drowning sweat, Survive to face more nightmare carpet rides. © 2025, Stewart Stafford.

“What the hell time is it?" muttered the old man. He was always an aggressive sleeper. Sleep was one of the things he did best, and he loved it. Some look upon sleep as an unfortunate necessary interruption of life; but there are others who hold that sleep is life, or at least one of the more fulfilling aspects of it, like eating or sex. Any time my old man's sleep was interrupted, he became truly dangerous.”

“Now, sprawled comfortably in his motel bed, Anson Sharp enjoyed the sleep of the amoral, which is far deeper and more restful than the sleep of the just, the righteous, and the innocent.”

“I wash with the can of water I set aside the night before, and eat whatever I put next to it. The washing is not strictly necessary but, again, I have always found it a good way to greet the day. You wash after a period of work, after all, and what else is a night of sleep, if not work, or a journey at least? ("The Things He Said")”

“But I was awake, sitting by the window looking down at the trailer and Mr. Zoltan's truck. I could not sleep. That is how it is with folks my age. We take naps during the day, and then we cannot sleep at night. I think that it is because God is getting us ready for the grave. Is that right? Did He ever tell you? ("The Little Stranger")”
