In this episode, MJ Smith recounts a recurring dream experienced over several years, centred on repeatedly entering the same house and encountering overwhelming fear, heaviness, and paralysis.

The conversation focuses on the lived details of the experience, including the sense of presence without visual form, escalating emotional intensity, and restricted movement, and how the dream eventually stopped. This episode presents the account as described, without interpretation or explanatory overlay.
