Didn't have one until his Orangeness.

My Boogie Man is a recurring nightmare. There is a wild storm out and my kids/family/dogs are out in it and I can't find them. To top it off there are multiple tornadoes that are hunting us down.

When I ws a child I often had wh tis known as sleep paralysis. That is basically where the brain is awake, but the body cant' move. It literally feels like someoen is pinning you down, and I used to think I was being attacked by something (a ghost, spirit or demon?) that I could not see.

So, my "boogie man" was invisible.

Anyway, sleep paralysis is not uncommon, and is responsible for a lot of peopel thinking they have been attacked by demons or spirits. For soem people it is a state between beign awake and dreaming, so they may actually create soemthign they see in their mind which is attackiign them. Most common are desrbed as an "old hag" or a succubus.

Anyway, in very over simplified terms, the wires of the brain get crossed when entering into or coming out of sleep and the experience is actually a sort of dreamign whiel being awake.

My boogey man used to be being abandoned & being alone. It scared the B Jesus out of me. Then i got a healthy dose of life. I walked the hall way of a hospital for 3 days, in between work shufts because FMLA did not exist, not knowing if my 2 month old son would live or die. (Unknown virus) the doctor told me to "make arrangements". Kiddo pulled through (he's 33 yrs this year).

I don't fear being abandoned, it happened already. I don't fear being alone, I'm strong enough to survive that in great comfort. I've learned not to fear but to plan ahead, to find out all I can, educate myself, & learn how to fight & win against whatever comes.

Nope. Can't describe what doesn't exist.

Right Wing nut jobs in power. So I'm scared a lot, these days.

Scarey as hell, if there is a hell he would be there. My own father is probably the most terrifying thing of my life. Dead 21 years next month.

My leukemia or another cancer attacking me again.

Don't have one.

Control

Stress, fear, my inferiority complex, and mental illness.
