Sleep paralysis painting

Sleep paralysis painting

One night when I was about 17/18 I was asleep and was abruptly awoken by nothing in particular. I tried to sit up, lift my arms, scream....couldn’t do anything but lay there frozen. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw a figure at the end of my bed, this being I painted for you to see, they had grey clay-like skin, a tiny trunk-like nose and HUGE dark eyes. A few moments later I was back asleep and awoke in the morning startled and feeling out of place.
