For years, artist Nicolas Bruno has suffered from sleep paralysis, a terrifying condition in which he is paralyzed while experiencing vivid nightmares in his dream state. To cope, Nicolas began to recreate his nightmares with moody, surrealist photo collages, casting himself as the victim as well as the figures that torment him. We sat down with Nick to learn more about his condition, and see how he realizes the incredible images inspired by his dreams.
