What if you knew you were dreaming but couldn't wake up?
You couldn't run...you couldn't scream...you couldn't do ANYTHING?
That's the life Laszlo Nemesi has been living for the past decade.
During the day, Laz leads a great life: happily married, proud Dad, a longtime performer at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival's "Feast of Fantasy", and a ring announcer for Minnesota's Independent Professional Wrestling circuits.
But each night is a recurring hell he can't escape.
Sher and Kip discover Laszlo's living nightmare with sleep paralysis and dig to determine the cause.
In this episode, you'll learn:

How it began and what Laz experiences each night
The figures within his nightmares and the message he received
How he gets himself out, and how he manages to cope
Is it aliens? The dead? The Matrix? Or is it another dimension?
The meaning of the "rip cord"
