Dark and Mysterious Photography Inspired by Nightmares

19-year-old photographer Nicolas Bruno has been suffering from sleep paralysis since he was 15, which causes him to wake up in the middle of the night and see hallucinations. He decided to interpret his nightmares into a kind of visual art and began taking surreal photographs. He explains “After time, I started noting down these experiences and pulling main components of the dreams – such as silhouetted figures and chilling subject matter to create for a bittersweet homage and reenactment of these dream-world encounter.” Scroll down to see his photos below and visit his website for more.
