PARALYZED

Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move, it occurs when a person passes between states of wakefulness and sleep.

During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also experience hallucinations and feel pressure or a sense of choking.

It is not experienced by everyone and even so, every experience is different from one another. Thus, I wanted to see how Artificial Intelligence(AI) reimagines visual hallucinations during these episodes of sleep paralysis. 



Recounts of experiences were collected and used as text based prompts to generate high quality images through the eyes of machine learning technologies. 

Generative artificial intelligence program used in this project - Midjourney
