I’ve read terrifying accounts of sleep paralysis and the attendant feelings of oppression and supernatural presence they elicit. Thankfully, I’ve never experienced it.

What I have experienced, on the other hand, is waking up in the dark and —for a short while— having zero recollection of where I am. The bed is unfamiliar, the room is strange, my muscle memory is helpless at locating the light switch, etc. The feeling of disorientation and vulnerability is unsettling.

Though that’s just coming from traveling all the time and staying at so many hotels that they just become a forgettable blur at some point

absolutely had those as well - very strange vibe when you have no idea where you are in the given moment.

Was it also while you were traveling and sleeping in an unfamiliar bed?

exactly like that or after traveling. one time i woke up and thought there were people waiting downstairs. it was after doing a workshop and i was completely disorientated. it must have been due to stress.
