"PHOSPHENES"- If this one doesn't scare you,you are already dead

Last year, I used to get sad a lot. It mostly happened in the summer, and it would happen after really bad nightmares (I usually don’t dream.), but they had to do a shaman ritual. My mother gave me a charm for protection, & they stopped, but they’ve returned.

The most significant one shook me badly. I was taking a nap on my sofa, and I had a dream where I was with my friends one moment, and the next, I wasn’t. I felt the sensation of falling, & I was frozen and couldn’t move.

Then I realized I was on my couch, now awake, but it was similar—my body felt like it weighed a million pounds. I could not move. I then fell quickly back into another dream and quickly woke up, and this process repeated over and over.

Finally, on the last attempt to wake up, I was trying my hardest to move. I could see my hands, and I saw my finger shift a little. I realized that I was getting closer, but suddenly, something appeared on the back of my eyelids-- a pair of eyes—a man’s. They looked east Asian.

You know when someone takes a photo of you, and the flash is kinda burned into your eyes? When you close them, you see the flash all dark, shadowy, purple/blue/red on the back of your eyelids? That’s what these eyes were like—but instead of blobs of shadows, the eyes were distinct and clear.

I was scared, but I was also angry. I was just trying to take a nap because work haD been exhausting me, and a stupid ghost had to come to disturb my sleep. I started screaming in my head & telling the eyes that I would kill them if they didn’t let go of me. I finally awoke.

I still remember what the eyes look like; its image is burned into my mind. I don’t know what to do now. Should I tell my parents again? Should I leave it be?
