Can't Move, Can't Talk, Can't SCREAM...Im Scared To Sleep!

by Meghan
(USA)

My Name is Meghan. I have been experiencing episodes that I now think I can link to sleep paralysis. I have yet to figure out if I'm actually dreaming or awake. I feel like I'm awake, but I want to rationalize it by calling it a dream. I am unable to move, scream or talk. I feel pressure on me, and I absolutely can't move.

I am currently living in the dorms at school, and have experienced this about 3-4 times since I moved in. I can recall a few experiences that happened when I was living at home as well. Overall it has happened frequently over the past 3 weeks.

Today it happened, and I couldn't move, I tried very hard to break through the "force" and was slowly able to move my fingers/hands and eventually opened my eyes. I felt like as soon as that happened, I fell right back into the paralysis, and then eventually became unfrozen. What's weird is the fact that I feel like I'm going through hell while experiencing this, but I wake up feeling totally fine. It scares me not to be able to move, I am trying so hard to open my eyes, and yell for my roommate, or pound on the wall...only to have no success. I'm afraid to sleep now, and don't know what to do differently.

Kevin: Hey Meghan, thanks so much for sharing this. You give such a perfect description of what sleep paralysis usually feels like. And now that you're experiencing episodes with some frequency, you should try to learn about why sleep paralysis happens, if you don't already know. Understanding that it's the result of a very natural process and is rather common (most people will experience at least one episode at some time during their life) is the best tool to defend against the fear and anxiety that can rise up while you are in the middle of an episode, as you describe.

Another thing that may help with this is reading about the sleep paralysis experience of others. A lot of visitors write in to this site about sleep paralysis, and learning about how they deal with their episodes or realizing that you're not alone in it can definitely be of some value.

Also, have you had the chance to talk to your roommate or any other friends about this yet? Sometimes being able to chat and laugh about it with the people who you will be seeing soon after you have any episodes can be really comforting. Anyway, just some thoughts. Thanks for sharing again, and feel free to write any more follow-up thoughts using the "Post Comments" link below :)

Warmly,
Kevin

Science
by: Kevin Morton

I would caution the last poster against stories of superstition and solutions of ignorance. You are right to emphasize relaxation, but incorrect in your rationale. I would encourage you to follow the links I included in my response above to find out scientifically why sleep paralysis occurs, because it is quite capable of being explained objectively through observation.

sleeping problem
by: Kya

This sleeping problem first occured when i was about 12 years old. I wake up, i am able to see my surroundings but i cant move at all. I cant open my mouth and it feel as though my jaw is screwed shut. I feel very frightened, like there is an evil spirit watching me. I try real hard to break loose but i cant. Eventualy it wares of, it last about 5-7 minutes. When i wake up im afraid to go back to sleep. this has been happening to me frequently. Also it happens when i fall asleep. Im aware that i fell asleep and i cant move or talk and i try hard to wake back up.

cant move or scream!
by: Davis

I've had this feeling about 5 or 6 times. I tried to fall asleep n I feel myself slipping away, almost like I'm fainting. I get to a point where I fell all weird in my brain, than I just slip away, into a state of paralysis. I can't move or scream. I hear things around me but I can't react. I made an appt with my neurologist to make sure. From what I read. Its exactly how I felt. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing ur stories, and I'm lookin frwd to see what my doctor says. Wish me luck.

Same!!
by: Charlotte

This happens to me were I can't open my eyes or scream for help, do you get vision or when it's happening do you know it's happening to you. Every time it happens to me I know what's happening but I just can't seem to open my eyes or move no matter how much I try, is this what happens to you.

Don't be scared!

I understand everything people are saying about this subject. What I do is I think about the name Jesus because you are not able to speak; once I do this that feeling leaves!

Hi Megan,

You should be glad to know that you're not alone in this. There are many of us who experience the same circumstances. And of course, that includes me as well. I've been getting SP since i was (approximatively) 9. As a kid, i initially assumed it really was a visit from the devil. I cried every time i got it. I got it too often to the point that i chose to sleep with my parents! And also too often that for some reasons i could feel it coming(up to now)! However, as i grew up (and tend to get less superstitious), curiosity hit me and was very sure that there was a scientific explanation behind this. Hence, i came through SP. There are a lot of information about SP (for example;causes,prevention,etc.) that you can gain through the net. I advise you to browse through them. So once again, don't worry and don't be scared.

Ps*Do get some sleep!

Night terrors
by: Al3x146

Well I have this problem alot, but when it happens to me, I can't move talk yell or anything. It also feels like I'm being watched and a billion things are racing through my mind all at once. And, right before I awaken, I see a very horrifying face like from the excorsist. It hasn't happened to me in over a week. One of the scariest parts though is that my ears roar really loudly like if gun shots were just shot off to the right. I'm 13 and this has been happening to me since I was 12 or so and when I asked my doctor about this problem so called sleep paralysis, he said it's just basically night terrors. He also said that this problem usually fades away as you get older so I'm not really worried. I hope my story and imformation helped some of you and good luck.

last nite
by: samantha D

this happend to me last nite,i never felt like this before i came home from hanging out with my boyfriend and was laying in my living room with the tv on and the light off. i fell asleep but i could still hear and see the tv and it seemed extremly loud. i tried moving but i couldnt and i remember trying to scream as loud as i could but nothing would come out. then it seemed like the tv just shut off but i could stilll hear the sound coming out. i tried moving and screaming and and take my self outta this nightmare but it still didnt work. then ,i felt like i was being raised up in the hair and i remember looking down at my legs and i could see them moving back and fourth ,a few seconds later i was back on the couch and it seemed like i was awake when i tried moving i couldnt again,so i wasnt away i was still sleeping ,finally someone how i got out of it and was really awake . i was so scared to fall back asleep it was like 3 in the morning im 20 years old and i actually woke my mom up bc how scared i was.if anyone else felt that way please let me know.

I kinda know what your feeling
by: Al3x146

Yeahsamantha, I've had that happen but the reason it sucks so bad for me is that when I get the nerve to fall back asleep, It usually happens as soon as I fall asleep. This only happens when I'm alone or if I like noones around. So gl to you.

Jun 16, 2011
same here
by: Anonymous

this happens to me on occasion but its only when im drifting into sleep but im still barely awake. About a week ago i heard loud screaming and i was staring at the celing and i was trying to move but couldnt. i usually hear conversations with voices ive never heard in my life. I always get really scared everytime it happens. I found out that if i play music until i sleep it doesnt happen. It only happens when its dead silent in my room.

damn
by: Anonymous

Well I'm here to tell you that you are not alone on this I just got out in the state in being in sleep paralysis I. Kid you not, and yes trust me it feels bad but it eventually wears off, a good way to react to it is move around like for example move your fingers arms and head it works for me :), this may sound funny but I kicked out of a sleeping paralysis I don't know how I did it but I just gave it all I got and boom I freed myself, don't be afraid to talk about it share amongst your close friends and faily you are not alone on this god bless you and take care!:)

sp
by: jack

I have had these over 8 times now This year! Its really starting to freak me out and dont know if im going crazy or what. The first one was the most intense. There is always a demon or demons in them. Stalking me. I cant move literally frozen, and it only happens when I lay flat on my back. I have heard it is a demon trying to posess your soul not quite sure if thats the case. But maybe? It feels like I am in hell! literally in hell! I think that I am slipping and getting weak with god. The last dream I had was today at 430 am. The devil was literally stalking me, it is the most intense dream and felt like reality, Maybe I got a glimpse of hell?I can hear myself breathe and almost hyperventilate. It is by far the scariest feeling in the world. I will tell you what works! I know it does and I will tell you if there is an evil in this world. There is a god. And jesus christ is real! All those non Believers if you had dreams as intense as mine you will believe! When your having the sleep paralysis You cant move, you cant talk, but if you can manage to think inside your head, or talk SAY In the name OF jesus Christ get out! Protect me Jesus Christ! I woke up instantly! He is real and will protect you. TRY IT! These dreams are evil! And insanely the most scariest thing I have ever experienced. And the only thing that you can fight evil with is good! So you want a cure? I just told you how to atleast wake yourself up. I dont know if they will stop but atleast its a start. Good luck and I hope they stop! I really am scared to sleep sometimes. Also try and sleep on your side, or stomach it never happens when Im on my side or stomach.

need help
by: jessica

I have been having this for a long time, I am 33 and it started when i was 28. I am frozen cant talk, yell or move. I pray when it happens. I can feel bad things around me, i hear this swooshing sound above me. But last night I was just mad about it, so during the episode I said the F word. I think i have had enough, I said F you to whatever it was and then I felt this instant warm feeling on my neck( like if you put ice hot on) there was pressure and this warm burning feeling( not fire burn, but very warm) it scared me so much. I got up after to see if I had marks on my neck. Thank god I saw no marks. I have been reading about sleep paralysis, but if thats what I have then why all the sudden when i get mad does my neck feel that. Really need some answers, anyone else have this happen. Please help.

Maybe because of sins
by: Anonymous

I notice that when I look at porn before sleep, especially homosexual porn, the sp can become a problem. I am convinced this is the cause of my torment. Ive tried many times to give it up, but it is not easy to do. If I do relapse it seems like the SP is there waiting. My first visit seemed like there was a portal on the other side of my room and a figure behind me was physically dragging my arm towards the portal. I was frightened but I repressed it. I recently saw a dark spirit walking next to my bed after another experience with sp. I was taken-aback, but I am sure that I will never have another one. Im giving it up, and I wont turn back. The above poster was absolutely right when they said that the farther you are away from God, the more vulnerable you are to the spiritual realm. Writing about this is embarrassing, but I need this cycle to end immediately.Thanks for listening to my confession. Please Pray for Me and Ill do the same for you.
-God Bless

Sleep Paralysis or lucid dreams
by: Parker

These episodes are totally scary. I've actually had these since childhood and i'm in my mid thirties. When i was young my parents would say a witch was riding me or sitting on my chest and i believed this and starting to see a witch and other things on me and it mostly happened when i slept on my back. As i've gotten older i have found some things to break me out one is to pray like @#%$ to GOD to help me and release me but mostly try to move some part of my body like a toe or finger to break it. A couple of days ago it happened again and it seemed like i was awake cause my son was in the room with and my husband was in bed with me and i was trying so hard to tell him to wake my husband up,because i told him before i went to sleep that if he heard anything to wake me up. He went to sleep and all i could see was my son and i thought he could hear me but when i did come out he said he didn't and i was so angry at him. For some reason it happened like three times in the same day and i was just freaking out. I was so sleepy like i was drugged and found it hard to stay awake while i was talking to my husband.

What can I do?
by: Bethany

When I was little I used to have a recurring dream where I could hear my house being robbed, I would walk out of my bedroom to walk down the stairs to tell my mum and dad but when I reached the stairs I froze, I could not scream or move and I would be terrified. I can't remember when the dreams stopped, but now I am 22 and live in a new house with my family, over the past few months I have been having night terrors and not sleeping well, but last night was different, I couldn't sleep until around 6am and when I did I felt like I was awake and could feel something or someone in my room, I felt literally frozen, like some sort of forcefield I couldn't get past, I was screaming into my pillow and at the top of my lungs but no sound would come out, as if I didn't have it in me. It felt so real as if I was screaming for my mum and trying to drag myself out but nothing. When I finally came to, I ran down to my mums room in a panic, feeling stupid now as I am 22. It was only 6.50am and yet I felt like it was happening for ages. Should I see my doctor? Bethany

5th time in 3days
by: Anonymous

I patiently read everyone's comment here, im glad im not alone, its happening to me too, i observe things alot, i think we guys are connected somehow, im trying to figure somethings out. I assumed some possible cause of this episodes
1. Too many porn movies or masturbation(i masturbated alot within few days that this things happened to me)

2. Moving into a new house(we just moved to this new house, )

3. Stressing out your body and not sleeping enough to supplement it,

4. Or often times when you are dozing off you try to wake up maybe bcos you are watching movie or studying for exams, now when you really want to sleep you tried waking up again then you are too weak to do so.

5. Not saying your night prayers

If you are muslim and you have yhis problem this is because there is a jin sitting on you. I recommend firstly make sure you recite ayatul kursi. And dont sleep flat on your back.

Back or Stomach?
by: Anonymous

Ive been awake for 2 hours from an attack. Im a freshman in high school and tomorrow will be my third day of school. I figured that or a performance this week that im not prepared for would be the sole reason. My attacks are usually stupid but still frightening. Its the sense of urgency to get away. This time i was dreaming about my favorite singer; couldnt move, but my left eye was twitching. I didnt see him but i heard him. I wanted nothing but to get away. BUT...ive noticed that a lot of people that have SP get it from laying on their back. I cant recall the last time ive ever slept on my back. I also think its interesting how right before it happens, everything is so defined. It feels like youve been inhaling laughing gas and your body is heavy. I love that part. Dont get me wrong, im terrified of sp. I refuse to go back to sleep tonight.

First time I've ever felt this.
by: Becca. Female, 16.

I patiently read everyones comments. and it made me feel great. Anyway, this morning, about an hour ago. I was laying on my side with my right hand on top of my left hand, in my bed, facing the wall. I was laying on top of my comforter. I remember being barely awake. then I fell asleep and about 10min later, I woke up. and couldn't move, talk, speak. I was barely breathing. My eyes were open. But, it felt like they were moving In different directions. I felt as if, I wasn't myself. I felt like I was being watched. And, as soon as i realized what was going on, my breathing became very faint. I was panicking. So, in order to break out, I relaxed & closed my eyes. Less than a minute later, I woke up & literally jumped outta my bed. With tears in my eyes. Now, the only person in my family that has experienced this is my older brother. That I know of. I am a little scared to go to sleep. But, God didn't give us the spirit of fear. But, of power,love&a sound mind. :-) peace.

its possible to fight it
by: Anonymous

hi my name is joe and i have experienced this too on numerous occasions. It feels as if i am constantly falling in my attack and i cant open my eyes either or move or scream i get this crazy chill over my entire body as if someone or something is really evil but never seen anything just heard voices calling my name one time. So sometimes when i am really tired i can feel it starting to happen the best thing to do in my opinoin to prevent it from happening is when i get that feeling i keep my eyes open and try to move right away and it goes away but it is hard to do but you can achieve it all the time just what ever you do dont let it get the best of you. Try to move as soon as it starts and dont close your eyes. I hope this helps anyone who goes through this like so many others of us who experience this.

What is it?
by: Anonymous

This has happened to me a few times. But last night was the first time in a while.

My girlfriend is away with her friends at the moment and I struggle to sleep without her. I normally sleep on my side but last night because I couldn't sleep I tried to get comfy on my back, with my arms above my head. I hadn't been like that for more than 30 seconds and then I heard someone running up the stairs and my girlfriends voice, saying my name and that it was her.

From that point I could not move. My eyes were open and I was frantically looking to see what was holding me down. I tried desperately to screams and move but could do neither at all. This went on for about 10 minutes and it felt as if something was sat on top of me holding me down.

I tried to relax and put everything out of my mind. Then my phone lit up, because I recieved a text. About 20 seconds after that I heard a mans distant scream (like it was next door - noone is living next door at the moment) and then I was free again.

When I looked at my phone it was a text from my girlfriend.

I'm not religious, but I am terrified to sleep tonight so I will be saying a prayer before I go to bed.

Can anyone help me to understand if this was a dream in a paralysis state or something else?

Wow
by: Chris

Last night I woke up about 2.30 as I woke up I was like half asleep I could see this man only for about five secs I tried to move but I was just Pinned to the bed the only thing I could move was my eyes I tried to call help but all I could do was moan like a sound of a cave man I think it lasted about a minute but the night before the same thing happend to my sister :/ I have asked the guys at work and they have had the same thing happen to them some say it's the soal coming out of your body and if you have a bad dream but your just awake in it but I think it's just that your body is so deeply relaxed but your brain is active and you think about all the things that has happend that's maybe why you can't move or talk because you need your muscles to talk but who knows ay??

Tips
by: Anonymous

Im muslim and had this problem since around 17-ish. Now im 27. But this prob has stopped since two years back and im so happy i can sleep well every night now without fear. Here are some tips if you're a fellow muslim. :)

1. Perform your ablution if you can especially after getting home from late nights.

2. Read a prayer before sleep to seek protection from Allah against syaitan. Surah Al-Falaq or Qursi.

3. Try not to sleep on your back or place your arms on top of your eyes or forehead - idk why but sp always used to try attack me when i did that

4. During that struggle, you must keep on your willpower to fight it off and chant zikir to Allah the Almighty - normally few secs after that i will break free as that thing knows you are submitted to God and not the demon.

5. Look out for loud ringing, sudden gush of heavy wind sounds or black figure roaming around in between of you trying to fall asleep. Quickly get up and seek forgiveness from Allah.

6. The first thing to try to break free is from your fingers, then slowly wiggle your arm, and jerk your body up and quickly open your eyes while fighting the struggle as said above.

7. Lastly, seek repentance from Him sincerely. I had done so many sins in the past and those were the times i usually got attacked by sp. Not saying im a saint now but thanks to God, after mending my ways those days of terrifying sp has been a thing of the past now.

My method is a trial-and error I did as the year progresses of sp encounters. I have even encountered an unusual one where i can see something pulled me from my two legs into darkness like a black hole at extreme high speed. All by an unknown force. When i awoke i was still in bed. During that sp i thought my bed went forever!


Good luck to everyone, good night sweet dreams :)

It just happened to me.
by: Anonymous

Reading other's comments, I think my experiences wasn't so bad. It ALMOST became frightening, as I started seeing weird black things and I was home alone. But I just shut my eyes and try to chill, and just concentrate my body to work. I just believed that it was just some symptom, and even if there were some sprite bugging me, heck, I am alive and its' not. I got it out from it very fast, I think about from 2 min to 1 min only. The trick of it is to relax, relax, relax, and DONT FREAK OUT. if you freak out you will just frighten yourself and it will only get worse, I tried moving my fingers and feet, but it was harder to do so, so I just try to move my face muscle and head. once you can move, you will just come out of it fine. After I woke up I did few research on it, and it totally normal to have these experience and there is just no need to panic. It's just your brain and body not in sync and half dreaming :)

Scary Dream
by: Jon from TX

I've had similar dreams in the past with the exact same problems described. Only, mine differ in a way that has yet to be matched or similarly claimed. In my dreams, when i'm in the paralyzed state, it is because of another person; that is, another person is forcing this upon me. Unlike other commenters previously, I'm never alone when this event takes place. Another difference I find with other cases is that mine don't seem to be linked to sleep deprivation at all. My most recent instance, tonight, couldn't possibly be due to sleep deprivation considering the fact that I've been getting more sleep than usual this entire summer. No school means more time to sleep. Any college student can verify this. But over all, I find these dreams a complete mystery and a terrible inconvenience. If anyone can explain or help, I would really appreciate some help and answers.

Guess Im not alone!!
by: Anonymous

Wow didn't know this happens to so many people, including me. This has happened quite a few times, this time I decided to read up on it. I always just want to scream but cant, I feel like I can twitch, but can't fully move, today I saw a figure to my right & I saw smoke & I swear I saw someone walking, thought it was my nephew.....but I know a name that gets me out of this everytime &that name is Jesus. I do believe that this is happening in the spiritual realm, I will just have to ask Jesus when I get to heaven :-)

Sleep Paralysis
by: Liz

I have eventually got myself awake from sleep paralysis not so long ago as in tonight,it terrifies me,when i go to sleep i leave my hall light on as i have had it many times before,not that it stops it happening when it does.It has happened twice tonight within 6hrs of sleep(.I sleep on my side always)Same one both times tonight.It's like there is a man behind me in my bed&its exactly as my room is,it isn't in another place.I feel his force against me but not in a sexual way.He won't let me get out of bed or move.I don't know why i know it's a man in the dream/nightmare but it is.I was trying so hard to shout on my mum(i live alone most of the time as my son works away from home.It comes out as mumbles&i really believe the mumbles of me trying to shout on her are real&that i can hear then as i feel awake but can't move,he won't let me.

This Has been happening since I was kid...
by: Alma

This happened to me last night and just as everyone describes it !!! You can't move, scream, your in a battle to wake up from this heavy feeling or presence and to make it even more scary is the fact that you can hear and see (in a fogged way) your surroundings!!!
I sure hope it's not a demon coming to torment all of us whom are and have been experiencing this because this is truly the most TERRIFYING feeling ever. I am catholic but don't practice it as I should but I am always thinking of god and hell and pray I don't die and go to hell!
I did notice i was sleeping on my back and when i somehow managed to move to my side it still happened and it worse because i felt as though something was dragging me.
This is not science it's something that's happening to all of us and whatever it is it's not good it's evil and I am gonna start praying at night before I go to bed and try to figure out if maybe I need to change my ways in life because it may be heads up for all of us like a glimpse that there is a hell.

My thing is why would it want us as a child and torment us if as a child your innocent??????!!!!!!!!!!

similar experience last night
by: san

im Muslim and feel glad to know that all cultures are experiencing it, never in my life until last night have i had such strange paranormal experience, i could not move and did not know if i was dreaming and visioning this because my eyes were opening and both close and i was still visioning this black figure on my ironing board// but the only problem was i cud not see the whole figure and my body froze and i didn't know what to do but in my head i said " Allah (God) Help me" and honestly what i said was "ah ouzu bilaheeminshaytwa nirajeem" -i seek refuge from the satan .. this also means i seek refuge from anything evil and i was able to move again... being religious i felt it was something evil and by knowing its there is better than not knowing at all.

Strange Experiences
by: Green_eyes78

This has happened to me twice that I know of. Once when I was in college. I lived in the dorms and after class one day I went back to the dorm room and took a nap. I felt like I was awake by couldn't open my eyes, couldn't talk, or move. I tried my hardest to open my eyes and saw a bright light by the door. I was very scared. I never got up. I was so scared I stopped trying to open my eyes and move and went back to sleep. The second time it happened was about a year ago. I was in my bed. I couldn't move, talk, or open my eyes. I felt someone or something sit next to me on the bed. I was scared because I live alone and no one should be in my house. I never got up. I just remember not thinking about it anymore and I fell back to sleep. I don't think it was anything evil. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Just remain calm
by: Anonymous

This happens to me so often now that i can always tell when its about to happen, but sometimes i just want to sleep so bad i just let it happen and except the fact that i cant move, but that is only because i may be in a comfortable position so i dont mind it. However, when when i do try to fight it, i try to move just as hard as possible move whatever i can untill i break free. It freaked me out when it first happened, but ive learned that when this does happen to you, just remain calm dont freak out cuz thats what makes it worse, and just move whatever body part you can as much as possible, nothing bad is going to happen to you when this occurs so remain calm is the best thing to do

second day in a row for ten years
by: rebecca

I moved to the suburbs ten years ago now, i know a man died in my room from stomach cancer and i could never sleep in my room because i would always get a erie feeling that someone was in my closet. After constant remodeling, I slept in my room a few years ago and i was sleeping next to my baby cousin my ears starting buzzing and ringing at the same time with pressure my body was froze and i noticed i couldnt yell for someone to hear me. I recalled seeing the devil only by the distinct hi horns. I squinted my eyes and eyebrows when i wiggled my toe i woke. My heart was pounding so bad i could hear and feel it. The first incidence happened during adolescense, I was at my grandmothers house which is haunted i was sleeping in the guest room and it was during the day. I could remember staring at the virgin mary on the wall and my ears were froze and i heard the same distinct noise. I eventually was free only to find my shirt ridden up i was very angry at my sister and told her of the situation she looked at my like i was crazy i did not go back to sleep. i stopped sleeping in my room after that and one night i fell asleep in the recliner, the same thing happened in the den! I moved out for school and recently came back im 22 and sometimes sleep with mom and dad cuz it scares me so much. Lately i have been sleeping with my mom until three days ago. Yesterday i had an encounter and again with the closet i was starring at it idk if i saw something but right now it happened after reading everyone's stories i couldnt explain my experiences any better. This time for some reason i yelled for god. I remember saying, "in the name of the father son and holy spirit RELEASE ME GOD FROM THOSE THAT TREPASS AGAINST US. i kept repeating it and i woke up. i swore i was yelling because i called my mom who was in the other room and my mom came in and turned the light on. Now im up because i have class in a few hours and i need to finish a paper. help me

feels evil
by: Anonymous

I woke up in the middle of the night, I was on my back , my eyes wide open but I couldn't move a muscle or scream for help. I had a strong feeling that something's in the room next to me and there's nothing I can do. What's happening for a matter of seconds feels like minutes. I had this happen a few days after being put under for a surgery. I have to say that I agree with the person that thinks this is more than science can explain. I think it has something to do with our soul. I've never been so scared in my life. I awoke , eyes wide open but couldn't move a finger, couldn't scream for help no matter how hard I tried. My husband was inches away but I couldn't even reach out to touch him, I was even trying to hit or kick him. I was so scared I wanted to get his attention any way possible but nothing my brain told my body to do was happening. I wanted to scream or move so badly but my body just lay there. I could move my eyes and that was it. I had a strong feeling of an evil presence in the room right next to me and I couldn't do anything except (think to myself) what the heck is going on? The only thing I could do was prey for the lord to please help me now. I'm not a church going person and am not extremely religious but the feeling of an evil presence was so strong that I felt preying was the only thing in the entire world that could help me. Prey! Prey! Prey! After what seemed like minutes passed, but was actually only a few seconds to a single minute I was finally able to move. I quickly rolled towards my husband for more protection and pulled the covers over my head. While holding the covers over my head I just begged god, if your ever going to help me nows the time and to please make the evil presence leave me alone. I just wanted the evil in the room to go away. I was so scared and freaked out that I didn't even wake my husband of 17 yrs to tell him about my scary ordeal. I stayed under the covers and didn't move. I was thinking he would think I was losing it anyway. This happened to me in my 40's and has never happened to me since and I hope it never happens again. I can't explain the helplessness I felt and feeling like an evil presence was next to me. It was enouogh to make me believe there's things we still have to learn about our souls and the afterlife. This is and has to be one of the weirdest things we as human beings will ever have happen to us. And if your not a believer of good and evil , you will be once you have this happen. It will scare the you know what out of you.

horrible feeling.
by: Anonymous

This happened to me last night. It really frightened me. I had an argument with my boyfriend, so slept at an aunts house with my daughter. I had a hard time sleeping and was tossing and turning. Finally, when i was laying on my back and tried sleeping again; i felt movement on the bed near one of my thighs and then movement again on the other thigh. I tried turning to my side but couldnt. As if my body weighed a ton, or if someone was holding me down. I couldnt open my eyes. I tried sitting up, but still couldnt. I kept trying, panicing, but no success. I tried yelling for my aunt or cousin but i couldnt, only low gasps of air came out. Finally, after what felt like hours, i was able to sit up. I looked at my phone and it was 3.30 am. I couldnt sleep after that. I have never been so terrified in my life. My grandmother says they are called "una pesadilla" which basically means nightmare in spanish. It felt too real to be a nightmare. Ive had horrible nightmares in the past, nothing compared to this.

afraid to fall asleep
by: m. t

I'm having the same problem too, it seems to happen more if I fall asleep early in the evening and got up later when I try to fall back asleep it always happen. Some times if I sleep on my back it doesn't happen as much, or if I leave the light on. If I'm drunk it doesn't happen either.

Glad im not alone..
by: Anonymous

This happens to me almost daily and today i finally decided to look it up to see what was going on. The first time it happened to me i really thought i was going to die because i was laying on my stomache and couldn't lift my face off the pillow. I have now always slept on my back for fear of the same thing. I also have literally had tears stream down my face because its so scary, and cant scream to someone in the other room. I too also feel like im going through hell when this happens. It is very very uncomfortable. Does anybody else experience major fatigue throughout the day after this happening?

my version
by: Anonymous

ive been experiencing these type of dreams since i was little about 3 to 4 times a year...i would fall asleep and wake up in my dreams in the same room and same position i fell asleep in and everything in my room would exactly the same as when i fell asleep and people would appear and disappear but of course i was unable to move or speak..eventually i would wake up only to find out im still in my dream(never actually waking up but felt as if i really did until i attempted to move)and this would continue for about 3 to 4 times until i finally would wake..the only thing that would suck about this that as soon as i would fall right back to sleep it would start all over again so the second time i would really wake up i would have to say a prayer and sure enought they would go away..never has failed me...i read about it on wiki and in some different cultures they refer to the devil or a demon sleeping on your chest..so there's the spirtitual and science explanation and honestly could not tell you which it is but i do feel the evil and at times see a black figure hovering over me...all i know that prayer has worked for me...also i noticed that when i would go through a whole lot of stress or a lot anxiety the dreams would happen more often so that may be another reason why..well these are my experiences..hope you find it helpful

OBE
by: anon

Have any of you looked into OBE (outer body experience) I have been reading about this and one post on here describing a loud gunshot...really amazed me because in the book im currently reading ( adventures beyond the body,astral projection by William Buhlman), the guys describes this just as he is about to have an outer body experience.
This of course is just my opinion. but if you believe in spiritual things like this, you should look into it. Its very interesting and there is even scientific evidence:) This happens to me also where i cant talk move etc. The key is to stay calm and try to wiggle ur toes and eventually your body begins to respond again.

SP is quite common...
by: Anonymous

It's been over 5 years since I experienced this last and it only happened to me twice. Didn't really realize how common it was until I spoke to friends and read about it on-line. I recall the first time experiencing SP being very scared. I tried to call my wife for help and only forced out a quiet mumble. Anyways, what helped me the second time was to focus on my breathing and trying to move my toes. Within about 30 seconds, I was able the move my body and talk again.

Your under attack
by: Faith

It something everyone goes through at least once. I've gone through it plenty.
Chose to believe or don't, your experiencing demonic attacks.
It's one of their classic scare tactics, get you don't get enough sleep 'cause your scared, you body get weak without rest and you can't fight of illness, and your emotions get wacky without sleep, and lack of sleep normally cause depression which can led to lots of bad outcomes.
I would suggest trying out some churches.
Don't settle for just any church, there's plenty that are totally fake and I know it took me forever to find a pastor that wouldn't blow me of and pat me on the head, but once I found one I could trust the attacks have all but stopped and it's become easy to get free when they do happen.
There's no quick fix for these things but this worked for everyone I know who deal with it.
I know a lot of people don't like to hear this but, Jesus is the only way to freedom from this.

Scientific
by: Anonymous

There is a scientific explanation for this.

When you are sleeping, you are not controlling your body. This is good, cause otherwise you might have a dream about running, then actually start running. You could do serious damage to yourself or the things around you. Anyway, some mornings, it just takes a little longer for you to regain control.

You'll be fine.

sleep paralysis
by: angel

This type of thi.g has been happening to me since I was a teenager. Come to think of it most of the time it happens is when I'm in a depression or scared to be alone. A lot of people don't believe that's the spirit please the body at night. But I am here to tell you that it does. I use to sleep with mirrors around my bed and caught my spirit leaving. It scared me so bad that it feel back into my body and I physically woke up exhausted. When the night paralysis happens I can usually feel like there is a nother spirit sitting next to me. The best thing to do is exactly what most of these people are saying calm down don't fight it just relax my mother always told me to say the word pre the 23rd psalm. but the time you finish it you usually are relax. The sleep paralysis start as soon as you go into the REM sleep if I'm not mistaken that's when the lucid dreaming start. And if your spirit shoes time to travel that night called astro travel inc that's when it happens as well.

THE REAL ANSWER TO THIS FOR ME
by: THEAA

THIS IS SLEEP PARALYSIS!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS A VISIT FROM A GHOST OR DEMON TOO AND I WAS SCARED. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY HOUSE AND MOVED, AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN, EVERY NIGHT NOW. I AM AWAKE AND ITS NOT A DREAM, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M SLEEP AND WAKE UP OUT OF MY SLEEP, I'VE FELT SOMETHING TOUCH MY FEET AND ACTUALLY SEEN A FIGURE BY MY SIDE, BUT EVERY EPISODE I CAN'T MOVE, CAN'T TALK, I CAN ONLY MOVE MY EYES AND CAN MOVE MY FINGERS A LITTLE BIT. BUT, THIS IS SLEEP PARALYSIS: Sleep paralysis is paralysis associated with sleep that may occur in healthy persons or may be associated with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and hypnagogic hallucinations. Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes, with some rare cases being hours, "by which the individual may experience panic symptoms". As the correlation with REM sleep suggests, the paralysis is not entirely complete; it shows that eye movement is still possible during such episodes. THIS BASICALLY MEANS: YOUR BODY IS GOING THROUGH BEING PARALYZED IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SLEEP AND YOU WAKE UP AND ITS NOT FINISHED BEING PARALYZED, AND IT'S SCARY CAUSE YOUR BODY ACTS AS IF ITS STILL SLEEP, THEREFORE IN SOME CASES YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THINGS YOU'D ACTUALLY SEE WHILE DREAMING. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE, SPEAK, ONLY SEE, UNTIL ITS OVER AND IT WILL LAST A FEW SECONDS TO A FEW MINUTES AFTER WAKING UP. (I KNEW THIS WAS THE ANSWER WHEN I SAW THIS PAINTING: The Nightmare, by Henry Fuseli (1781) is thought to be one of the classic depictions of sleep paralysis perceived as a demonic visitation.) COPY THE DEFINITION OF SLEEP PARALYSIS AND GIVE IT TO YOUR DOCTOR...THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

Dream that m awake but can't move
by: Anonymous

I have been having these episodes more frequently now, and I dream that I try screaming out but my voice gets raspy and eventually fades into a whisper...one night I actually yelled out so loud I woke up my husband who eventually woke me up. I know these are lucid dreams and that I am experiencing false awakenings and dream paralysis, but the only way I wake up instantaneously is if I call on the name of Jesus...only calling on him wakes me up instantly. I have dreamed that I have called my mother for help on my cell phone to no avail..only Jesus' name rescues me. I really don't think it's coincidence, there must be some spiritual meaning to be found...???...

Scared Awake..
by: Anonymous

I've been reading up on this because it happened to me around 5 in the morning this morning. I haven't yet seen someone who had my exact experience. While I was asleep I felt myself turn or my back and thats when it all started. I wasn't in a deep sleep at all but I started to feel a lot of pressure on my whole body then I started to get really hot. I opened my eyes for a quick second I seen a green shadow on the wall them I closed them. I felt myself moving off of the bed. I was at one of my friends house at the time it was three of us there. I tried to call out for them but I could barely talk like something was holding my tongue and my mouth was really dry. I kept repeating "pledge the blood of Jesus" in my head and then it stopped. When I could move and talk again i woke my friend up and told her what happened. She said she heard me mumbling but she though I was having a bad dream or talking in my sleep. I asked a couple people; some said a witch rode me and some said it was evil spirits but I highly doubt it was sleep paralysis because I was being moved off of the bed... Please help I really want to understand what happened.

This has happend to me many times over the past 7 years at first it was very scary and i never knew if i was awake or dreaming. Now i know whenever it happens i am dreaming. Luckily I've learned how to deal with it, when it happens i just tell myself im dreaming once i realise this i am able to move again and pretty much instantly wake up. Its amazing how real it feels though..

Ok... so I call myself a Dr. but I'm not. Lol. I'm gonna pretend you're in my pretend office and I'm explaining to u what is happening during SP... "You're dreaming. Point blank. No demons, no spirits, nothing but an overactive mind creating images, sounds, and feelings. Scary indeed, but nothing to worry yourself over. Its quite common as u can see and there are several techniques of breaking the nightmare. This happens to me every so often. Try telling yourself you're dreaming. Give yourself permission to dream, feel, and explore. Your body and brain may feel out of sync but you are still whole-- its like you two had a disagreement, one goes one way, the other goes the other. Don't worry! After u completely awake you'll be back on track to start your REALITY-filled day." Ohh! I'm late for school! Hope my fake Dr. advice works. Be good to yourself. :D

the gift of seeing
by: Anonymous

my dreams are close to yours but much more different and i was told it could be a gift if i learned how to control it. this happens like everyday it happen last year i didn't know the dream i had links to the one i have now; it started when i dream of my door in my room and when someone would walk in i see the black figure i didn't see the actual person until i would wake up. then it got worse then i would dream in my dreams, then this is what they call the gift i started dreaming while i'm awake when this happens i have no control of my body just my eyes my mouth and unfortunately my sense of feeling pain. like the day i had a dream of rocks falling on me i could see it and feel it but nothing was there i could here it to i can hear it as it fell on my blanket everything was real.DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

I know what you mean
by: Anonymous

This happens to me as well. Sometimes its hard for me to figure out if I'm dreaming or not. In the past year its happened probably like six times there was only one time when I had a hallucination. One time I was spending the night with my friend and I knew she was awake I was barely able to move my mouth so I tried to make my breathing labored and loud and eventually she woke me up. My tip to you would be to fall back asleep. Just try to rationalize whats going on and relax. And I always wake up just fine the second time. I think its actually a cool experience however mine have never been too terrifying.

Scariest Thing EVER . !!!!!!
by: Anonymous

I fell asleep on the phone with my boyfriend. And I was sleeping fine at first; when I began laying on my back I felt a strong power over my body I began too hear noises my eyes were closed but I could see myself struggling to get up my ears started making popping noises and I kept trying to move my arms; all of a sudden my arms started shaking then my whole body started shaking I tried calling for my sister but I couldn't make any noises I tried screaming but I couldn't . . . Somehow I got the power to get out of my bed and out of my room then I open my eyes and I'm back in bed . . . It felt real but my mom says it was a dream :-\

Astro travelling
by: Alfi

Hi, I have these dreams quite often and they are an awareness that your subconscious has whilst sleeping. I believe this can benefit somehow if we look at it in a positive way. Yes it is frightening for me when I am in this state but I have learnt to talk to myself and have actually concentrated on one particular part of my body to try to move it and eventually you can wake yourself. The frightening part is the transitioning moment from sleeping to awakening. This can be quite a fast and furious point of which snaps you awake. Then the stress from that is what we all hate feeling. Believe in yourself to talk yourself through it, you can say or Chant to yourself right before you go to sleep with positive affirmations. Like "I can and I will gently wake myself if this happens", or "I am going to be okay and I am not afraid".

just a thought..
by: Tan

I only seem to get sleep paralysis when I sleep in the afternoons. There seems to be something different about night sleep and day sleep for me. I have the same symptoms as you all: pressure, lucid and scared yet unable to move and wishing for someone or something to wake me, but something seems slightly off...while I am catatonic something inside me tricks my body into thinking its moving, like my soul is trapped and trying to get out. I feel as though I'm flailing around but have no sense of feeling in my hands ect but am also aware that I cannot move. Does anybody else experience this weird internal movement thing? And just a thought to the person who mentioned ACTUALLY moving as a trick to wake up, that does not work.

Don't worry about it!
by: chris

Has happened to me all my life, sometimes it's even weirder than that. Was terrified of it for years, but in the ned i got used to it. When it happens, just ignore it. Seriously, ignore it. The more you let it trouble you, the more you'll try to move and the more you'll fear it. It's just your body asleep and your mind alert.

JUST HAD IT
by: Anonymous

Hi,

I also firmly believe that this happens in the spiritual realm.

if it was scientific then can a scientist please tell us why it ALWAYS feels evil?
why does it always bring about negative emotions and it mostly occurs when you begin to slip away from your spiritual walk.

Scientists love to assume - just like news reporters.
im not negative about them, science has helped mankind in many ways however, sometimes People "Just Know" and I "Just Know" that its a spiritual thing.

it once happened to my Mum and I, we were in Separate rooms in our house, it was @ 12:00 Midday!
i spoke to her that evening and told her what had happened and she said that it also happened to her around the same time! now find me a scientist to explain that 1!!!

im currently studying for exams and took a nap but also not before looking at a bit of porn. for the entire 2 hours i was awake in my mind but really couldnt wake up physically. i felt like i was immersed in a totally different world but in the same flat that i live in.

there were people walking around in my lounge that i didnt know! they just looked at me and continued what they were doing. . . they looked like construction workers.
i went to the front door and looked out and the corridors looked like something out of a horror movie. totally dilapidated. during this entire other world experience i could still control my thoughts and i kept hearing the word "Sluggard" then i had remembered that i had read about that in the bible - in proverbs!

i was being lazy cos there was no need for sleep. it was ME who wanted to. but as long as "I" wanted to sleep i couldnt get out. i eventually opened my eyes and its now about 30mins since this happened so its still quite fresh in my mind.

i think that its a warning that should be listened to.

its happened to me many times before and as a few other peeps mentioned : Calling on the Messiah and living God - Jesus Christ ALWAYS works. i can even fall asleep immediately after and not be bothered.
the time now is: 14:50 in SA.

my solution - Maintain a close relationship with God and abstain from sin. Pornography is a warped and selfish desire of Human nature for Self Pleasure.

Your thoughts??

i am a shaman, please hear me out. we are spirit and dreams and meditation are real. you can even learn scientifically why, and we are light beings obviously condensed into very slow vibration., our dreams are our mind truly whats inside, and it sounds like your soul is telling you you are trapped or you not recognizing your soul and it is trapped. i have to say this because Ive heard these dreams a few times and Ive been very much right.. whether it be a person, an environment, or your actions that caused it. or maybe your just a very good person whom deserves to understand the circle of light and what dwells within your Mandelbrot. i am a spiritual guide, for all that wish to acknowledge thought, i am here for you. just a step up..

My stories of terrified encounterments NEW
by: Marisa

This has happened to be a few times, but the very first time i encountered this was about a month ago, i was sleeping and i suddenly started shaking, and couldnt move or open my eyes, i was facing down in my pillow at the time, i am not sure why, and i could feel some sort of heat and then i heard fire,it was like it was in front of me and then some person was screaming at me saying: "Your going to Hell"! I was scared out of my mind, didnt know what in the world to do.
The second time i encountered this was about 6 weeks ago, I had went to bed late like at 2:00 and around 4:00am I started to shake while I was sleeping and I couldn't move and I tried to open my eyes, and I did and saw this figure, it looked like a male wearing all black and whispered Hello, really slow, I tried to scream but couldn't, i finally woke up, terrified as i was I dared not to sleep, and I didnt scared it would happen again.Durring this whole entire Time i didnt know what was going on.
But the third and fourth time were similar to each other but this time when i tried to open my eyes they wouldnt open,and i couldnt move or talk.I felt some one shaking and massaging me i was really scared and didnt want to open them.
The last time I have had this happen was yesterday. All the same, shaking and parallized, i couldnt move or talk and I tried to open my eyes and i slightly opened them to see on the ground toys lined up with brown yellow bright light facing down on them, terrified i had closed them hoping to wake up, i eventually did scared, scarder than the first time.
I dont know when this will finnaly end but i hope soon, or i dont know what i am going to do.

quasi-awake NEW
by: rony

I had this universal dream last night. Its is monumental because one is dreaming of 'self' as 'yourself' in your bed in your room etc 'awake' yet you are asleep or in a quasi state of consciousness that you awake from yet it heightens & blurs the 'Dream" from 'Reality". yet the paralysis the increased heart palpitations are significant. My earlier encounter of this 'Dream' was looking to the left of my bed & there was a snakes head dancing then it opened its mouth & screamed so deafening it was silent leaving me 'paralysed'. Now when I have this dream it has advanced but I try to fight the fear or face it & if its to overbearing I try to wake myself up & then my reaction becomes oh its just another one of those dreams. It iss very interesting it appears to be a universal entity of our incarnate form & affects so many of us.

Dreaming of yourself in your bed?? NEW
by: Morpheous

I was just wondering if other people's are like rony's dream?? mine are its like I'm dreaming of myself as I would be in my bed awake? or as already awoken? which brings the fear or occurence to a climax? because you really believe you are awake until you realise that you weren't awake at all but rather dreaming. It's hard to explain but its like a nightmare on elm st that line becomes blurred from what was real and the dream. Most if not all of these dreams have that common ingredient with me. I'm just wondering if its the same for other people. sometimes I'm actually looking around my bedroom of course in first person everything as clear as it would be as when awake & then the reality kicks in that I'm actually dreaming & often at times I find myself still seeing/looking/viewing my surrounding bedroom with my eyes closed in the dream but then all of a sudden the awareness of the dream kicks in & this is part of the adrenalin/fear & paralysed state trying to awaken oneself from it trying to force open my eyes the battle to do it is so intense & when I wake up my heart is beating intensely...all that.Then I just say 'oh one of those dreams again'contemplate it for a while & then go back to sleep. Im curious are others similar to mine & Rony's??

Clueless NEW
by: Anonymous

I had 3 experiences, but one was different from the other 2, im laying down on the couch cuddling with my girlfriend, im asleep but shes watching tv. In my dream i was in some b-day party and then i was gona walk but when i did i colapsed on the floor nxt to a girl in a way like how i fell asleep next to my girlfriend, and then i started to feel that i cant feel my body my breathe was shortening and my eyes were closing, onced my eyes closed i woke up gasping for air. Now my 2nd experience was that i woke up, but couldnt open my eyes nor feel my lower half of my body and felt as if i was struggling to come out of something and i was breathing faster and faster, something that felt like 15 min lasted only a couple seconds from my girlfriend waking me up. My 3rd time was jus recent about 1 hour and 15 min ago, but it was jus a little different like i had the sane thing again but from previous research i was tryin to do somethings to wake up like staying calm, moving my fingers, and asking GOD for prtection, only little help it did, when i woke up it felt like i woke up from a dream, but i woke up breathing fast, and i still havent gone back to sleep. Im an innocent 17 years old, i had these 3 experinces this month, im still asking people for some advice im glad im not the only one having this but if anyone knows any good advice please post it up, i've heard its either scientific or superstition, not denying both but just looking for answers, please and god bless for everyone out there.

This happens to me(but also laying on my stomach) NEW
by: Rob

I also have this problem since I was a young kid. I remember my first time I was 6 years old, it started as a soft ringing noise in my ear the gets louder and louder untill a point where my body goes numb and carn't move or speak, I just remember hear my dads voice screaming at me (mind you my dad is one of the nicest ppl you will ever meet and never abused me or n e one) the second time I heard a voice saying he was Satan. The third I heard the sound of someone walking up and down next to my bed but like they were dragging there feet along the carpet as they walked. Now from these experiences I never layed on my back while sleeping, but it has happen to me while laying on my stomach, this time I was sleeping at a different house with wooden floor boards I was sleeping on my stomach and in the corner of my eye I could still see the refelection of light under the door from the hallway light, as I started to sleep I heard the same as above but I seen the door open in the corner of my eye and hear foot steps walk around to the other side of the bed, then I heard a woman's voice ask if she could lay there, when I finally broke free I looked and no was there, I asked others in that house and no one said they went in that room. It has happen a few more time too. For me the first sign is the ringing starts getting louder, when this happeneds I quickly open my eyes and then everything goes back to normal, I notice by me doing this it prevents the whole not moving or being able to talk happen. The whole religious idea I don't believe. I've never done drugs, or sleep around and come especially at 6 years old, we all imperfect and born sinners, y not happen to others who don't get this? But like others said they wake up normal like it was a bad dream

i can't comprehend this feeling NEW
by: james warcup, uk

It's been happening to me for year, for as long as I can remember I'm 22 now and I'm not a religious man but every time it happens to me I feel an evil essence around me as if there something there trying to hurt me. The Devil maybe but for me to say it's the devil means that God the one who help me break free, which I don't believe, but I also seem to get a fast sensation in my break like tonight before it happens as if someone's talking to me really fast in my mind, a warning or just my mind going through a vase I don't know, if anyone has any info please help shed some light on it. Really much appreciated if anyone can.

Turn to Jesus NEW

Honestly you guys it's demonic. No one has a legit ate explanation for it. This could he Gods way of reaching out to you next time it happens call out to Jesus Weither that be with your mouth or in your heart.. This stuff happens all the time and majority people sometimes even see things but know that God is greater than this. The bible says that "whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" make sure you are right with God

I've b een experiencing this since I was about 5 I'm 19 years old now. There's always something coming towards me a big black shadow I try to scream out for help & move but it doesn't stop it continues to come, I squeeze my eye shut & I still feel it's presence then it finally stops... Everytime I wake up I'm TERRIFIED! There's was this time where I finally got to see "it's" face, it was one of the most horrifying things I've seen in my life time till this day I won't forget... One day I brought it up to my parents & my mom described the same exact thing I saw & my other family members have expierenced this too. Every place we've lived at I believe has been haunted, the things I've witnessed are rediculous! I believe somethings are just unexplainable & science couldn't even determine it. Anyways, I lay on my tummy & cover my head when I sleep, it became a habit it's the only thing that keeps me from seeing "it".

-P.s I believe in God but as much as there's good, there's evil.

Mine seems very similar too mine, the very first time It happened I was asleep but looking around the room I was in, the scary part is that My two brothers where playing in the same room and they where doing the exact same thing I seem them do in my "dream" and I vagualy remember watching my family walking around and the things I'm seeing at the tie is what they really are doing, I a completely paralized but I always fight against it, The first time it happened well the first 5 times I thought I was dying, It is truly terrifying to the point that I'm finding it impossible to sleep I've now been up for 48 hours and I have been trying to sleep I'm just to afraid to let myself

sleep paralysis NEW
by: Lorenzo

I started experiencing this 2years ago, I was sleeping and I woke up but my body didnt want to move. So then i tryied to talk but couldnt, and i can see some what around my room. it was really crazy, i couldnt move, talk, or do anything at all. I thought I was being possessed by something. when I broke free i was flipping out and scared. trying to find out what had happend to me, there were no answers. what ever it was it kept happening here and there, still to this day it happens alot.. Last night it happend again, by that time I read into it but still I didnt know what to do. So when it happend lastnight I tried to get my girlfriends attention because I panicked, but then i stated to laugh a little in my head and told my self "im stronger then this" and layed there calmly. 2mins went by and I pilled threw it.. Now I know exactly why this is happening and it dosent freak me out anymore. I can go to bed knowin it might happen again and im ok with that...

hey stephanie & others...

Yeh it is a bizzare phenomena...like the epitome of fear that comes to some climax that we don't get the answer to. I had one the other night again but it was an actual dream scenario that I woke from not the in my room type thing blurring the reality from the nightmare. All I can say is you just get use to it over time & you know it passes & we survive it so after a while theres peace in that. I know sometimes the dream is so bad or Im in that paralyzed state & I fight so hard to move or sometimes I'm aware that I'm dreaming so I try to wake myself up. I don't think you should stop yourself sleeping because there random occurences we don't seem to be in control of them but like Lorenzo I'm scared at the time but I accept it & just go back to sleep, but if I think way back when they started wow I do remember being terrified wow I was to scared to even open my eyes or move cause I thought there was a demon in the room & I'd start praying like crazy but its been around 10 years now so it just is what it is not as scary but still profound & part of our human experience. Henry Fuseli painted the nightmare in 1781 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare so its been around along time & I'm sure it will be for many moons to come. Anyay sleep & dream well amigos at least none of us live on ELM st...jokes nice hearing some of your stories too.

nightmares NEW
by: becca (.Y.)

I've been having this problem sense I was seven and now i'm fifteen. I can't move or speak but i can hear everything thats going on around me. but when i wake up everything I've heard or seen actually happened. when i'm frozen I see people standing around me. one time I saw someones arm pulling my blanket over my face. I got so scared that I could actually move my arm and I felt the persons arm. another time I felt something cuting my legs and when I woke up the cuts were there. I have these types of dreams up to 10 times a night, every night since I was seven and some times they last up to 6 hours long. I'm so afraid to fall asleep.just a min ago I had one of these dreams and I felt someones arms rapped around mine and someone breathing on my neck. and my parents think i'm just making it up. and its so hard to breathe.

it just happened NEW
by: McKenna

i skipped my first period this morning and decided to sleep instead and 10 minutes before I had to wakeup to go to my next class I heard my name so I opened my eyes and then I felt pressure sit next to me and it suddenly put pressure on my whole body. I couldn't move, talk, scream and I kept hearing laughing. I just relaxed and ten seconds later it went away. I remember this happening to me before and from my own personal experiences there's no way it's not ghost/ demon related.. I'm not scared to go back asleep but f*** that! now I just feel like someone's watching me! and of course the time I sleep in a towel...

I' ve read a lot of these comments and I'm so happy I'm not alone in this. I've been having these nightmares fom the time I was 9 or 10 and I'm 26 now. It has keep me up a lot but no one commented on ever hearing a static like noise in ur head while having these dreams or whatever they r. It has happned to me while laying on my stomach and my back and just recently this year when it does happen I started saying the lords prayer in my head and I swear to u the noise keeps getting louder and louder every time I do. And I have a massive headache after. I even slept with he lights on one night and my fiancé stayed up while I slept to monitor me and it did happe and I tried so hard to wake up I got my fingers to move so I could pinch him and get him to wake me up, but when it was over he told me I was shaking and making a lot of noise like groaning . But I don't know for sure if it's demonic or not but it feels like it. But I know that as long as I believe in god and keep on saying those prayers it will stop one day.

I've read a bunch of the above comments and I am SO glad I did. I've had this problem for about a year now, and this morning was the worst yet, I had at least 5 episodes in a row. After maybe the second I realized that if I moved my toes just a little bit, I could build up the effort to kick my foot and wake myself up. Realizing this, I went back to 'sleep' a few times to try to figure out what was going on. The first time it happened this morning, my eyes were closed but I felt and heard a dog on my bed with me. I thought it was a dog that I had years ago and has passed away now. (My eyes still closed), I heard the dog jump off the bed and run towards the door, and then it was gone.
Another one I had this morning it was like everything was in slow motion.. I could see my eyelids close, and feel myself go into a deeper sleep. Every time I heard this noise in my head (kind of like the noise you hear when you yawn), I would go into a deeper sleep. I often hear noises in every episode.. sometimes yelling, or loud scratching, or like a big woosh like that yawning sound.
I live in a dorm now with 1 roommate, and these episodes have increased since i've moved in. I always try to yell to my roommate when it happens and I've told her if I ever look like I'm struggling while I'm asleep to please WAKE ME UP.
I remember the very first episode I ever had was back at my mom's house, where I opened my eyes and saw a very disturbing image on my TV. I don't remember what it was but I was forced to watch something very gruesome happen. I couldn't look away, close my eyes, move, talk, anything.
Another time (back home again) I felt someone beside me, trying to have sex with me. I couldn't see a person I could just feel it there. That was the scariest one I ever had. I read above that this happened to someone else also.. I hope that one never happens to me again.

I also had one once where I heard knocking at my dorm room door, but I couldn't move or talk. I could see my roommate sitting on her bed, and she wasn't getting the door. When I finally woke up, my roommate was sitting on her bed just as she was in my episode. I went to get the door and nobody was there. I asked my roommate if somebody knocked and she said no.

The same thing happened to me. I never believed in these things until it happened to me but when i told my mum she said it has happen to my whole family. she got someone in to get rid of whatever it is and it worked, hopefully. my aunty got a priest in to bless the house and it worked for her too but not for my cousin. when she gets the house blessed it gets better for a while but then comes back again.

When this first started happening to me I was extremely scared and didn't understand what was going on. Like you I tried to move and couldn't, and screaming for someone didn't work either. Since i've felt the sensation before I know exactly what's happening to me when I get it now and I just relax and slowly start trying to move, instead of panicking. I feel that by being calm about it I'm able to break out of it in a few short seconds, where as before it was terrifying and felt like at least a minute of non responsiveness. This seems to happen to a lot of people and is really nothing to be worrying about!

by: msy

OMG...happy to know I'm not alone. I went to bed early last night. This morning about 2ish I woke up, watched a movie and btwn 3 n 4 fell back to sleep. I felt like I woke up but could not open my eyes all the way, almost like I was peaking. Felt like I was being held down, I couldn't lift my arms or my head, tried to scream to get my husbands attention but that didn't work either. I called Jesus's name once then continued to fight this feeling or whatever it was holding me down. With no luck I stopped trying to fight and called on Jesus...after saying his name silently/ or in my head 3 times it felt like the weight was lifted. I felt as if I remained asleep then woke up normally but remembering exactly what happened. His name is powerful and if this ever happens to me again...I won't fight it...I'll just call on the name of the Lord. Good luck guys with dealing with whatever this is.

awake from a dream... was i still sleep? NEW
by: AprilAnn

Ok so last night at1230a.m I signed off Facebook and started to doze off. I wake up from a bad dream and am just laying on my stomach I feel a small body crawl across my bed and onto my back. Figuring it was my baby(6mos) I try to turn to see him and the force to keep me down gets stronger I try to reach for him and say his name cause I was on the edge of the bed and felt like we would fall off. But I couldn't move or say anything.It stayed for like 60 seconds I looked at my phone and it was130a.m. my brother had a similar episode last year but he could see our mom she passed a year ago he couldn't move or talk but tears ran down his face. I was so terrified. I woke up and started looking it up. Idk kinda mixed feelings as far as spirits and sleep paralysis. Cause like I say my mom passed it happened to my Bro and I had a weird feeling before I.even went to sleep. Immediately afterwards I felt the need to pray and I did. Idk but I hope its over and starting beginning.

What is it? NEW
by: Anonymous

Man I thought I was alone in this. I'm a guy of 31. The first time this happened was when I was 25. First time I remember anyway. I only sleep comfortably on my front. So anyway, I was sleeping on the sofa in the front room and without trying to make this sound ultra scary, I had an episode where I woke up but couldn't move. I was literally pinned down and I could've sworn I saw a dog like apparition circling the sofa. This scared the shit out of me as we don't have any pets.
After that it happened frequently. About 2 months ago it happened after I watched the movie Insidious. I was in bed and a crushing sensation came over me like I was being constricted. The more I tried to move the tighter the hold over me became. I thought there must be a scientific explanation for it and didnt pursue it further. Last night changed that. Laying face down I felt pressure on my back and saw a white face with blacked out eyes. It appeared to scream at me.

The true way out...Believe it... NEW
by: Stephen

This has happened many times to me since I was a child. I would feel smothered, numbness, mute and heaviness. I'll NEVER forget in 4th grade, my friend Henry and I was talking about this sleep issue. He said his Aunt told him that a witch was riding his back when this happens and to say jehova to make it stop. He said that never works and he would have to suffer the horrific experience before awakening. I told him it is not a witch but an evil spirit/demon torminting him and next time try saying or thinking this phrase within your mind and heart>"THE BLOOD OF JESUS!!!"<. Thats what my mother taught me say when that happens and it works everytime. The next day he told me the dream happened again and he use the phrase (THE BLOOD OF JESUS) and he awaked immeadiately. He was so excited and wasn't afraid anymore. He had faith in the Name of Jesus. I read above that some felt it was the devil and cursed him out, then later said "Jesus" and then woke up. Yes, you can get a Holy priest or Minister of God to pray over your house or apartment or dormroom, but you or whomever you allow in you your place of serenity can open a doorway for these evil spirits to come back depending on your lifestyle. If you're not up to part on having a prayer life with God Almight but rather doing unGodly things in your livelyhood, you're at high risk for this happening to you back to back. I am 26yrs old now and TRUST ME, whenever I found myself doing anything opposite or contrast to the Word of God or a Holy Lifestyle, sooner or later I would catch this so called episode because I allowed the evil spirits to creep back in by doing something unGodly. Don't be ashamed. Try praying to God and stay with his Mercy and Grace. You don't have to be an expert at this. If you do this God will send his Angels to fight for you and protect in times like this. The devil and his evil spirits tremble at the name "Jesus" beacase Jesus bled and died on the cross for everyone's sins and Jesus is our escape from evil. Remember to say "THE BLOOD OF JESUS" when you find yourself in this situation again. If you can't talk it out, say it within your heart, it'll loosen your lips, the smothering feeling and numbness will go away and you will awaken.

spirits are real NEW
by: Vixien

Hi and to all of you guys are having this experience. I have learn how to stop this from happening thank god ^_^. Please read my story it might help all of you :D

Okay here how my story begans. I'm a believe in budda thats my god. I'm laos/asian. I was born in Thailand and came in the us in 1991. Our family move into this house and we didn't know it was haunted. Until My grampa did some pray upstairs. I was sleeping with my causin at that time. 2 of my causing was sleeping on the other bed and I was sleeping by myself.

When I was about to go to sleep I see like a black shadow figure when I was about to close my eye. and something feel like it was holding me down. I starting to scream for help but was unable to speak. I was sweating. Then when I fall asleep I has nightmares weird ghost nightmare. Not gonna go into detail then I fall asleep.

After I woke up. I told my grampa what happen. He explain that since I was new to the house.
He said he had the same thing happen to him.

Years later my family move into a new house.
and a couple month after that same figure spirit
was on top of the ceiling. and had ghost dream again. So I told My parents. They know what is going on. So they gave me this necklace thing from the temple and bless it every night when I go to sleep. and told me to keep a weapon like a knife or a blade under my pillow to keep my spirit strong. cause when I had that spirit it was weak. When I go to sleep every night with the necklace and a blade under my pillow and pray then my Dad start to pray behind my bedroom door and I pray to tell buddha to help me keep the evil spirit away and it. stop and my friend told me to get 4 pennies each corner of my room
and pray every night before I go to sleep. And then it stop. thanks to all the people that help me.

So In what ever god u believe in try to pray everynight and do that same thing as I did then that would help cause there are spirits. good or evil.So keep ur spirit strong never been afraid to go to sleep.

JESUS IS THE WAY NEW
by: Anonymous

For me it started at seventeen, once i woke up and my door was shut and my closet was open and i always have it the opposite way, my legs were crossed and i was facing the closet! Then it happened again but this time i woke up and a force pulled my legs together and my arms by my side, and in my ear i heard a voice whisper my name. My mom told me to pray before and if i forget, pray in my head while its happening. Its happened to me around 10 times, and if i break out of it and go to sleep right after without praying ill go right back into it. Recently its happened with the same symptoms but now theirs a really really loud screaming its sounds like its from hell!!! what i've learned about it is, DON'T LET IT JUST HAPPEN, GET RIGHT WITH GOD SO HE CAN HELP YOU. AND FIGHT IT WITH YOUR MIND AND PRAY WHILE IT HAPPENS. THE ONLY WAY OUT OF IT IS JESUS. DON'T TOLERATE THE DEVIL AND HIS MONKEYS!!!

This happens to me up to this day NEW

Ive read most of your comments and i know that im not alone hears my story.When i was 13 my step mother died. And every since her death things started to happen to me mines a little more weirder than some ive read.Im now 28 years old and i still go through it now its a little different. At first when it happened to me i felt i was being choked then in my head im fighting with this faceless person im throwing punches,biting,kicking u name it.It had one time i went to take a nap and i went into the deep sleep i know it was going to happen because i was acustome to it but this time i got bitten in my dream on my stomach when i jump out of my sleep i pull up my shirt and saw human teeth marks and i still felt a little pain. one night this was freaky i was about to fall asleep and the room went cold so i knew it was going to happen.i heard the dog barking and its coming from the gate to the back stairs then i stared to try to wake up but it was too late i was held down but this time i was like someone holding me and i didnt feel scared at that point then couple minutes later it left. Man i could on about the weird shit thats happened to me i even felt like someone was having sex with me and i cant move im seeing a faceless person on top of me and it feels like im being penetrated i woked up feeling raped. but that happened awhile back not anymore i hope. had times i fight with whatever is holding me down until i cant fight anymore i gave up at one time willing to die in my sleep but someone or something pulled that person off of me.something weird happened one time when i jumped out my sleep a little to quick i guess and when i looked out the window and saw a human figure with wings on top of a tree watching then all of a sudden i got struck in the head and got knocked back into a deep sleep then later woke up.that freaked me out cant get that out my head. also had one time i was about to go to sleep and i heared my name called 6 times in 6 different voices that last voice freaked me out it didnt sound human so i assumed it was my brother calling but i didnt respond i got up and went and ask him why was he calling me when he told me he didnt call me i ask my father if he was calling me he then ask if i replied to the call i told him no.he told me i need to see a preacher i dont think i have sleep deprivation its a whole different thing im going through. i dont want to believe in spirits and the devil but those incidents has go me thinking up to this day i keep getting visits only way to keep them away is to have my tv volume high and to ask god to protect me before i go to sleep no matter what position i sleep i still get visits but now these visits have voices. i called God name to help and the person told me to shut up and i shut up cause that freak me out but i might have to be blessed again or get couple crosses and a bible in my room to help me out cause if i dont solve i think ill die in my sleep that how i believe some people have died.

What is this NEW
by: Anonymous

My little 11 year old niece tells me that when she goes to sleep about once a month or once in two months she dreams of something bad something that scares her so them she feels that she is awake but she can't move or can't talk. She tries to breath but she can't. When she tries to breath she says that her heart beats soo fast that it feels like if her heart is going to explode so she tries to hold her breath for as long as she can and wakes up scared of what happens. She also says that she feels like numb sort of like when your leg falls asleep but different. Should I be really concerned or not. Is this sleep apnea or sleep peralysis. I thought that maybe it was because she was overweight (she ways 110 pounds) but i don't think that's the reason so please help me and her.

Hello

I read the comments posted, and they are similar to my experiences. To encourage everyone, science calls it sleep paralysis, but it is a spiritual attack. The bible talks about this in Ephesians 6:10-12.

I have overcome this, by speaking verbally the following:

"I am a child of God and victorious, and Satan you have lossed. Therefore, Satan you are not welcome here because I belong to GOD"

Invite the holy spirit into every area of your home, and commission the Angels of Heaven to protect you day and night according to Psalms 91.

Remeber, you were brought with a price, and GOD desires that you have a stress free home and his beloved sleep. "For He giveth His beloved sleep" Psalm 127:2

Satan is a looser, but you are a winner through Christ Jesus so don't quit for anything.

sleep paralysis NEW
by: Anonymous

this happens to me as well i feel like something is in the room it kind of has got worse every time it happened it all started after when my dad passed away and when it first happened i saw my dad and i was talking to him then the next time i heard weird noises and now i just hear weird noises. my mum tells me it has happened to her and when she says says gods name and it goes away it seemed to work for her.. i have not tried it yet but when it happens i will. when it happens i know it is going to happen and i feel awake it such a weird experience.. i do truly believe that it has something to do with evil and it can not all be explained by scientific reasons.. that's just way of sugar coating the experience so that you don't get scared..

Sometimes Spiritual NEW
by: Anonymous

I can't claim to know why Sleep Paralysis happens or what exactly causes it for different people. For me, it definitely seems to be a spiritual thing. Every time it happens I either see or hear things from the spiritual realm. I know that hallucinations can be associated with sleep paralysis but in my case they aren't hallucinations. I have been able to see ghosts and other things since I was very young. I realized that if I sleep on my back or on my stomach I go into that paralyzed state much quicker, so I make an effort to always sleep on my side. It has definitely helped alot. One thing you always have to do is relax. Believe me, I know how awful it is to feel like you are trapped in your own body, but if you relax and focus on falling asleep again you can wake up. I also make whimpering noises. Once my husband hears me making noise he knows that I need help getting out of sleep paralysis. I really suggest you try to figure out how to get yourself out because over time it does get worse. You will start to feel like you are sinking more and more every time it happens. Waking up begins to feel impossible. Hopefully it will get better for you.

Hye everybody....i'm Jeremy...i had this kind of dreams since i were 13, and now i'm 19.
I know the way we feel is awful but do somebody tried to go back to the dream and research about it.
I am sure nobody tried it.
I had tried once.
I heard some voices that I've never heard in my life before.
I saw peoples that I've never seen with my eyes open.
I wake up by relaxing(COUNT 1-10) myself 1st and then force to wake up by sudden.
I am not sure whether it is SP.
But I am very sure SP won't show me something like that with my eyes open.
And another thing is, the dream won't be in the language i can understand. Always with the language I've never heard...
I GUESS THIS DREAM TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING..
I'M WAITING FOR ANOTHER MOMENT TO GIVE YOU GUYS MY ANSWER FOR THIS DREAM.
I'M GOING TO TEST WHETHER THIS DREAM IS SP OR SOMETHING ELSE.
PRAY FOR ME GUYS.
THOSE WHO ARE STRONG IN MIND CAN GIVE A TRY TO GO BACK TO THE DREAM LIKE I DID.
RELAXATION IS VERY IMPORTANT GUYS

I'm afraid to go back to sleep NEW
by: Chad

This same thing just now happened to me so I thought I would google it. Came upon this conversation. Not even one hour ago I decided to go to sleep and within 20 minutes I knew I was awake I just couldn't move. I was afraid it was paranormal but I couldn't see anything. My left eye couldn't open and my right I was open but seemed like something was covering it. My kids are sleeping right next to me and I couldn't even move my arms or legs far enough to touch them. I felt like I was being choked and held down. Now I'm afraid to go back to sleep. I don't know what to do. The last time something like this happened to me I felt like I was dreaming and two entities walked into the room, I was so scared I tried to scare them away. I hit one of them and they both got up and picked me up out of the couch I was sleeping on. Once they picked me up I woke up, but I woke up half way out of the couch standing up and my arms were up as if I was being picked up.

I'm sorry I can't help, but I thought I would throw my story in there since I am seeking help as well. I have had many episodes in the last few months. Now I am terrified of the dark and scared to close my eyes thinking I won't be blue to open them again.

I literally cried reading this posters story, it's scary.

Happened 2 nights ago NEW
by: Mysterious83

I have heard many stories of this happening to many people ... my father included and when he told the story of it happening to him he said that is was the devil on his chest, it even happened to my nephew. I didnt really believe it and I never thought I would experience it but I did two nights ago. I was awake, I checked my emails in my phone, my husband was asleep next to me it was about 645am and knew he would not be getting up early on his day off so I lay back down. I closed my eyes and it seemed like not even 5 minutes later I feel this sudden pressure on my body, I immediately tried to open my eyes but I could only open one. I could not move my head, I could move my fingers and toes only! I thought I could see a figure at the foot of the bed but could not open my other eye or move my head to turn and see. I was so afraid and just then my father's story of when it happened to him came to mind and he said he started to say the Lords Prayer and thats what I did ... IMMEDIATELY it went away. It happened so fast, it didnt last a minute because just as I started to pray it went away. I remember thinking, thank goodness I believe in GOD!

Need Help Now! NEW
by: Jonas

Thanks guys...

I'm 23 now and I started experiencing this about 6 years ago. I fall asleep but it gets very difficult to breathe and I started to panic and kept trying to move my hands or feet just to snap out of it. Back then it only happens for around 2-3 minutes. So what I did was try to get a rhythm every time I experience it. I try to breathe as deep as I can for that single second and force my body to move in whatever way. It worked fine then but the more I go through it, the harder it gets to resist it or to try to even move a finger. I even asked my mom to sleep beside me and I would even cry trying wake up but she said she couldn't here anything from me. Which only means that no matter how loud you try to cry or make any sound no one hears it. And I also noticed that after each struggle my body feels so exhausted and tired. The scary thing is it makes you feel sleepy again. So there is no exact pattern as to how many times it can happen or when it will happen and it's freaking me out.

Some say that it has a connection with anxiety and stress. Which I think may be a very logical explanation. But the best thing to do is to go see a Doctor. And if we are abusing our bodies or we've been working too much, we have to make little changes in our lifestyle.

Guys there could be more people out there suffering the same problem we are experiencing. Please if you have any suggestions or personal experiences leave a comment or advice here.

Thanks live well...

i used to think i'm lying there in bed wide a wake & can't move a single muscle, it scared the life out of me for a few years even though it would happen only now & then. it sometimes felt like my body was tingling, abit like pins & needles, & a pressure pussing down on me, & a couple of times it felt like lots of hands pulling me into my mattress like someone or thing was pulling me down. but one night when this happend i saw my mum sat in my room in a rocking chair, instently i knew my mum does not live with me & she doesn't have a rockin chair & thats when i realised this isn't real & at that moment i was able to move & the bad feelings had gone away there was no pins & needles feeling no pressure on me & my mum was gone from my bed room, everything had turnd back to normal & this as never came back since i realised i was only dreaming i was awake & paralysed in my bedroom, i am 42 years old now i was 30 back then... the moral of my true story is to realise it isn't happening & this isn't real it's just a dream & then you will get contol of it or even better rid of it. i hope this has help you all. your helping friend tony freeman :)

found this method wanted to share. hope this works NEW
by: shani

this is the single best way to wake up from sleep paralysis and it’s really in a class of it’s own. When you realize you are in SP, scrunch up your face. In other words, make a face like you just smelled something bad. Snarl and squint. Do this two or three times in a row and the paralysis will break IMMEDIATELY. I’m not sure why it is so effective, but unlike the pinky wiggle, this method is foolproof.

last night around 4 oclock my daugter went to sleep finally so i thought i would go get some sleep while she did, i was just nearly asleep, then all of the sudden i was awake i could see and feel everything around me, but couldn't move, scream or anything! my heart started racing where literally i could hear it in my ears-like it was music blasted or something, this warn/hot feeling rushed down my body, i coulda sworn i was screaming at the top of my lungs. i finally got out after i'd say 10 minutes cause i checked the time before bed, i yelled my boyfriends name, he rushed in 'i said what are you doing i have been screaming for help?' he said i didnt make a noise. at this point i was more terrified than ever. I finally got relaxed and went to bed with my boyfriend this time, i went back to sleep it happened again ! my boyfriend said i was the scariest, he felt my heart he said somethings wrong, we rushed to the docs next morn apparently i have sleep paralysis? i don't know how much i believe this-as for many one yous, people who havent experianced it dosn't know how f******* scary it is. sorry for the long message thought i might share my story.

Science always tries to explain everything, but most of us know the truth. What is going on here in my opinion is that this "thing" is a GIN, yes a GIN look it up, sort of where they got the term genie from and the lamp. These GIN are not suppose to contact humans, they are good and they are bad just like humans. Always being mistaken for GHOSTS. So obviously since they are not suppose to contact us. The ones that do are evil. Make better decisions in your life and stay positive and pray. GOD is your savoir nothing else.

We are in a spiritual battle NEW
by: Anonymous

Getting right with God may be the case for some, but this stuff happens to me when I get closer to God. We are all in a spiritual battle whether you believe it or not. Let me tell you about a couple of my occurrences then show you where you can find this in the Bible. My first example is not one of those where I felt bound and unable to speak. My second example is.

This occurred in the late 80’s. I was a sleep when an evil dark shadow appeared. It said, “follow me” three different times. I said no each time. I ended up kicking at what would be its face as I said no the third time. I awoke immediately. The covers of our king bed then fell back on top of my wife and me. “Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 (NASB).

My second example occurred within the last couple of years (different house, different town). A dark horribly evil presence appeared about 5 feet away from my wife’s side of the bed. My eyes were open and I could move them, but I was unable to move anything else and was unable to speak. It was a struggle, but I finally managed to cry out to Jesus. I felt as if I was yelling, but only managed to produce a faint murmur. At that point a sound came crashing through the roof of our two story house. The sound traveled straight down directly to where the image was standing, and then the wrought iron fence outside our bedroom shook violently. I am convinced God sent His Spirit or an Angel to chase this thing off. Remember, we can only resist in God’s power, not our own.

The New Living Translation puts Ephesians 6:10-17 this way, “…Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

i had these "dreams" too. well i still have them almost every day and sometimes more than once. i always felt like some one was moving me yet i couldnt do anything about it. i know when i was going to go back into that state so i move every part of my body to prevent it.
eventually i realized that it wasn't going to kill me so i let it happen.
i can change the outcome by thinking of what can happen to me in that state. if i think of being tickled i get tickeled , if i think of going down a huge water slide it happens and man, it feels like i'm falling at lightning speed!

Swear NEW

This happens to me every night. I get so close to sleep. I have insomnia. Which only makes this worse for me. When I fall asleep, I have these points in time where I open my eyes I can hear and see things in a blur but I can't move anything. I feel like a 300 lb weight is over my whole body. When I finally snap out of it. I'm afraid to even close my eyes again. It makes me feel like I'm going to die because I can't breathe. Any ideas how to stop this. Or help it at least ? It's been on going since I was about 9. I'm 18. So for about 9 years.

Same here NEW
by: Anonymous

I'm 34 now. When I was about 19 this all started sometimes I would have them at least 3-5 + times a night where I would wake up and couldn't move or do anything. Thru the years I noticed many things when this happened. I tried everything..Doctors said I was dreaming so I gave up on him. So I starting experimenting with it. I noticed that it would happen mainly when I DRANK to much ALCOHOL and didn't have nothing to eat. Even when I was sober it would do it but less.
1. I noticed when you need to urinate your body will wake up but you will not..untill you do!GO! 2. Have something eat (light snack) before going to bed. 3 If you have these symptoms DO NOT NAP during the day for hours and expect to fall asleep for another 8 hours! If your on a hangover DEAL WITH IT. 4. DO not overdose on advil for headaches etc...Advil is rotten and long term / life side effects are unbeleivable!!
5. Get your blood sugar checked if it's low your body is craving for natural sugar and will wake you up exacly that way to eat!!(hypoglycemia.
6.Anxiety / Panic if you don't have them...this is a warning sign! GET HEALTHY before they strike!7. Get an alergy test done! who know's!

There is so many things than can cause this I can't pin point the case...one that I think is the problem....Alcohol or to many fluids during the day! And one more thing...DO NOT STRUGLE! you are doing more damage then you think. Stay calm untill you wake up! when you do..2 and 5 from the list above!

Sleep Paralysis NEW
by: Jackie

Hello My name is Jackie. I have had exactly the same things happen to me. Sleep paralysis, i have seen stuff walking and talking. The reality is that this is a demonic attack. These things exist .And when we are trapped in the body but still see things this is our spirit in the spiritual world. This means that there is another life and the bible is true. What you should do is ask Jesus to help you before you sleep. Tell him to protect you and wash you with his blood. This is the only way to not experience these things anymore. I promise i have tried all religions.. Jesus is alive and he is the only one who can help you.

this is my email jackie_f25@hotmail.com If you need any help just write me an email and i can tell you more about my experiences and how Jesus has set me free from horrible nightmares, sleep paralysis and OBE

Peace with you :)

my experience is... NEW
by: AKO

i experienced the same situation for so many times ever since in highschool.I felt like everytime i went sleep i always fight for my life..i can't scream,move talk even breathing was hard. When i woke up i felt so tired and my body feels the force that i exert just to wake up myself. the most terrifying experienced i have is that i see myself still sleeping while i am standing. the other one is i woke up went out of the house and seeing myself inside the house looking at me. then i realized that i was still sleeping,what i did is always have my alarm clock besides me and wake up in the same time everyday..its simple but very helpful.

An angel came to see me? NEW
by: bond or maria

I wouldn't even know where to begin but what happened to me last night was READL. People might believe it's sleeping paralysis but it surely felt a lot different.
I am a 3rd year undergraduate and was working on some coursework last night until 2am, at which point I went to sleep but couldn't fall asleep until something like 4am (most probably due to coffee) I know this as I looked at the clock at 3:20am and I wasn't sleeping yet. After I felt asleep all of a sudden I was woken up by a bright light that was just in front on me. I was sleeping face down facing the wall, after I opened my eyes and saw the light was moving I was thinking to get up and check it out when all of a sudden I felt SOMEONE putting their hands on my back and my hips and sitting next to me in bed (at my back and couldn’t see his face but I felt him). It pulled my hair to a side and looked up on my face, while the light was still in front of my face (it was like it was trying to light up so he can see how I look). I never really felt scared up until that point and I was thinking that I left my door room open and someone had just got it and given me some kind of an injection or something as I felt paralysed. I honestly thought that was it for me. All of a sudden the light disappeared (I didn't wake up as I was already awake) and could move. Now you are wandering how do I know it was real and that I wasn't dreaming? I didn't even brink for a fact and as soon as I could move I got my head up from the pillow and looked behind me, I didn't move my body just used my hands to help me get my head up a bit and check. The creepiest thing was that when I looked at my wardrobe mirror I could see the indentations of where I felt the pressure on me and where I thought that guy sited next to me. I checked and the door was locked from the inside so no one could of gotten in. Now you are probably wandering how did I see that in the dark? Well in my campus room I never pull the blinds from my window, and at night I can see the reflection of the lights around the court where I stay. The funniest this is that I never shut my window curtains as I like to look at the stars before I go to sleep and I always wish for a star to come down and look up on my face and hold me and last night it felt exactly like that until I got really scared for my safety. Some of you might think I am crazy or just imagining but believe me last night was REAL.

Account of what happens / my solution to wake up NEW
by: Tommy

Here is how it happens to me:

I'm laying on my back and trying to move in anyway possible. It feels like my ability to move has been drained away. I give ever bit of my will to move my arms or legs and sometimes I'm able to move them slightly.

Usually I'll begin to think to myself "it's happening again." Then there is always that bit of doubt. It feels so real that you are not entirely convinced that you are still sleeping.

At this point (probably a few minutes into this) your body is starting to get closer to awakening. This is when it seems even more vivid. This is when I'll start to hear noises. For example, I could hear the sound of somebody using a key to open the front door. It's the exact sound I hear when I'm awake. I then have the feeing that sombody is present in the room but I'm unable to see them. This is usually where the dream state peaks.

At this point I'll try to call out to the other person in the room but my voice is gone. I can maybe muster up a very very almost inaudible volume of sound that of coarse the other person won't be able to hear. Now is when I'm getting very frustrated.

This is the conclusion. At this point I am telling myself very loudly and strongly that this is a dream and I have to wake myself up through sheer willpower.

Here is my trick that seems to help every time.

You have to "jolt" yourself with a burst of energy to wake up. What usually works for me is to try and imagine yourself rolling off the couch or bed and tell yourself that when you hit the ground you will wake up. If it doesn't work the first time just keep trying and eventually it will work.

I'm a 35 year old male and this has been happening since I was a teenager. You will all be fine. This is just a sleeping phenomenon. Good luck everyone. You will always wake up!

It wasn't just a dream! NEW
by: Lisa

I went to bed early last night and took my new born baby with me, put her to sleep in the crib next to me then settled down to sleep. While in a light sleep I felt like I was pinned to the bed, I couldn't move, I couldn't scream or open my eyes. I eventually let out a scream and was able to move and open my eyes. I put it down to a bad dream and went back to sleep normally. My partner came to bed not long after and noisily jumped into bed oblivious to what had happened to me. Shortly after he let out a scream and grabbed me and explained he had been pinned down, unable to move or scream til he could break free, he thought it also was just a dream til I told him the same thing had happened to me. We were too scared to go back to sleep!! What was it???

I thought I was the only one suffering with this problem. These episodes happen to me frequently and it is terrifying. I fall asleep and feel my body falling and when I try to wake up I can not move, scream or wake out of it. I sometimes feel someone getting into bed... literally I feel the bed sink next to me, other times whatever it is squeezes my body in a bear hug. I have also seen myself doing dishes and when I turn around I am in bed sleeping. The last time it happened I woke up with the bed sheet tightly wrapped around my neck... What a horrible feeling.

Thank you all for your writing of your experience, it helps to know that there are other people who can relate to what you are going through without making assumptions or negative comments...

SLEEP PARALYSIS/DEMONIC POSSESSION: SOLUTION NEW
by: MUSLIM LAWYER

SLEEP PARALYSIS/DEMONIC POSSESSION: SOLUTION

Hey guys,

I have read all you messages and looks like we’re all on the same boat. This sleep paralysis i can confirm is of a demonic possession which occurs when humans are at their most vulnerable state – when humans are asleep.

BUT this is something which can be dealt with easily, all you have to do is simply recite this islamic prayer below before you go to sleep and make sure you don’t sleep on your back. If you get the sleep paralysis, though you won’t be able to speak, in your head keep reciting this prayer or buzz words from it and demon should free you from its invisible rope.


That is the solution for it. I CAN ASSURE YOU 100% THAT THIS WORK. THE ONLY REASON I AM MENTIONING IT IS BECAUSE YOU’RE ALL SUFFERING FROM SOMETHING WHICH CAN BE HELPED WITH AND I WANT TO HELP YOU GUYS.

Yes I am a Muslim, and some of you non-Muslims etc will be cynical about this Islamic solution because you don’t believe in Allah (God) but trust me there’s no harm in trying it out and you can see and judge for yourself the truth in my solution, I can guarantee it will only help.

Little about me: I am a highly educated lawyer from England, this should reassure you that I know what I am talking about and I am not a commoner who has decided to randomly write this message


Prayer:

First sentences are in Arabic and then in brackects is the English Translation

“A'uzu billahi minashaitanir rajim” (I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan)

“Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim” (In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful)


“'Allahu laaa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huu. 'Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum. Laa ta'-khuzuhuu sinatunw-wa laa nawm. Lahuu maa fissamaawaati wa ma fil-'arz. Man-zallazii yashfa-'u'indahuuu 'illaa bi-'iznih? Ya'-lamu maa bayna 'aydiihim wa maa khalfahum. Wa laa yuhiituuna bi-shay-'im-min 'ilmihiii 'illaa bimaa shaaa'. Wasi-'a Kursiyyu-hus-Samaawaati wal-'arz; wa laa ya-'uuduhuu hifzu -humaa wa Huwal-'Aliyyul-'Aziim. “
(Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime,the Tremendous.)


P.S. please keep me updated if you have taken my advice and your experiences of it.
All the best.

too scared to sleep.... NEW
by: Julie

I have yet to research the scientific reasons or medical, for I too naturally thought it was from the devil. I am wondering what the background for all of us are. I have had these for as long as I can remember, always scared..ect,ect, I challenged the feeling one night and it was like a train went through me sounded like one too. I "came out of it" with blood in my mouth from tensing up so tightly I guess, and my whole body was stiff and it has only happened (since then) when I doubt myself and though I can't move, I can think and NOw instead of being scared, I think "you can't touch me, I love God and Jesus." and I am o.k...in case you are not religious, neither am I..I don't understand it. I don't go to church, I sin over and over but I love God and Believe in Jeseus (I am going to leave that misspelled) I am thinking we all had some connection to the devil before we had a choice..we have a choice now and we are loved

there is hope NEW
by: diane

I experienced this for many years, without really knowing much about it. I can assure you it's demonic, but you have authority in Jesus' name. How I know? I know because I woke up in such a state last year for the last time! I woke up and could hear myself praying in tongues, since I had received the baptism of the holy ghost a few months before that. I could'nt speak it out loud of course at first, but within a few seconds I could. It never happened again after that. Thank you Lord Jesus. The name of Jesus is the name above ALL names. For real!!!! The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came to give you life. Praying in the spirit is a very powerful tool the good Lord has blessed me with. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and he will make your path straight.Proverbs 3:5 After speaking to someone at church about my experience, this person new exactly what I was speaking about and other also. Make Jesus lord of your life today. His blood was shed for you so you may have life through him. You will have authority over darkness through him.

A bit difference to above case NEW
by: Asian

Hi all, I am now 30yrs and when I was young (6yrs) I also encountered the similar situation mentioned by the other that I were awake but just coulnd't move.

However, when I grew order(~20yrs) I started having the circumstances that similar to the movie scene [your soul coming out from your body]! I felt myself was trying very hard to "get out of the bed that I could seeing the whole process" and I could really felt that I did spending lot of force, effort to climb up, the texture of the bed sheet when you moving your arms on it, etc.

The moment I felt "I am half standing up and ready to look back to the bed" was actually fake - I suddenly found I was still sleeping on the bed! , I had to attempt at least 4 times (repeating the same feeling> before I could getting up. The feeling just very solid and real which made me feels my soul was trying to come out. After I got up I will feeling extremely exhausted.

This feeling was totally different to when you can open your eyes with body paralyze. Because I found that insufficient oxygen during sleep will leading to the paralyze effect. So, I will try not to sleep with some post that may restrict the oxygen uptake of my lungs. However, the experience that I have was quite different to what the other described.

Hope to know if any of you got the similar experiences like mine.

Don't worry! NEW
by: Pat

Hello everyone. I am 49 now and I have had this my whole life. I actually enjoy the ride now that I've had the experience so many times. I used to sit up and stop it because it always started with a ringing in my ears so I knew it was coming. It would often take two or three interruptions before the episode would give up trying to take me over. This was exhausting for me so I stopped. Now I lie still, enjoy the heightened sense of hearing and let it pass. It always happens when I am beyond exhausted. My body is going into the fourth or fifth stage of sleep while I am still dosing off. Don't worry about it! You are all fine. Worrying about it will lead to more serious sleep problems.
Sweet dreams.

Demons or an under lying undiagnosed disease NEW
by: Pam

I was a child about 9 or 10,I woke barely able to breathe,tried to open my mouth to call my parents But I couldn't get past the force that was there my tongue felt as if it was swollen, hot and dry and felt like there was something holding my head down on the pillow.Thirsty.It was dark and couldn't see anything but I heard something in the room bumping against the wall near the foot of my bed I couldn't raise up to see what it was and couldn't scream.I slowed down my thinking I remember thinking I am dieing and something bad is here.I was barely able to breathe but if I fought the force to try to speak out to call my parents I couldn't get anything out so I lay still hearing the banging and thinking any moment they will come in cause it was loud.But they didn't come when I got still the sound stopped .I could hear nothing like my ears was stopped and then I gasped for air like someone coming up from drowning and could hear normal sounds outside night sounds and the snores of my parents my throat was hoarse and dry I was thirsty.My tongue felt funny tired and I felt very tired and weak.As a child was diagnosed with anemia.As adult diagnosed with Sarcoidosis,Lupus and Fibromyalgia.I bite my tongue in my sleep lately don't realize till I awaken the nest morning and see bite marks on my tongue in the mirror.Wondering if there might be a connection here with anyone who has been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease.Never hurts to ask questions.

Scared to take a nap NEW
by: Anonymous

Usually this happens when I am very tired and I decide to go back to sleep or take a nap. This has not happened to me in a few years and I had been taking Zoloft and xanax during the time of my first one that I have had in years . It worried me that my medicine could be affecting me. I got off Zoloft and still take xanax on ocassion and I had this again. This has happened to me also more often on days where I had consumed alcohol or on days where I woke up to early and then went back to bed for a nap. It is horrible because right now I am very sleepy and I know there is a good chance if I take a nap this will happen to me

One of the worst parts for me is that I can not open my eyes and I know that I am trying to wake up. I imagine I am screaming for help then I think If I dont wake up that I will die or that is what death is .That you just lay there and thats how it feels . Earlier today I was wondering if I died .I hated it . Then when I try to wake up It takes several attempts and I feel like all the energy is drained out of my body.

"I never really believed in any of these things but when I was losing fiancé, Suzie, I needed help and somewhere to turn badly. I found DR Gboco online and ordered a RETURN MY LOVER SPELL. Several days later, my phone rang. Suzie was her old self again and wanted to come back to me! Not only back, my casting opened her up to how much I loved and needed her. Spell Casting isn't brainwashing, but they opened her eyes to how much we have. I recommend anyone who is in my old situation to try it. It will bring wonderful surprises as well as your lover back to you. The way things were meant to be. You CAN be happy in Love! Yes, Spell Casting is 100% REAL." gbocotemple@yahoo.com

Freaked out NEW

I just had this sleep paralysis happen to me 3 times in the same night. I thought I was trying to fall asleep then an overwhelming panic came over me. I tried to move but couldn't freaked out more then finally could move. I shook if off then fell asleep only to be abruptly awakened by a popping noise somewhere in my room. Couldn't move but felt in danger, felt a presence.....this happened 2 times during the night.I've never had this before. It felt also like pressure from the inside of me hard to explain. I got up and was freaked out enough to google.

Don't be scared NEW
by: Heather

I am 42 years old and this has happening to me since I was 12 years old! I had no clue so many people go through this, but I feel weird because mine always occurs when I am on my side, never on my back. Many things happen to me while I am in that place between asleep and awake. I try to move to wake myself up and as i get older, its harder to wake up from, the only thing that helps me wake up is screaming out Jesus and sometimes that takes a few times. I feel like I am dying every time this occurs and I am scared to death, and can't sleep for a few days. Can someone please tell me how to get it to stop? I have very detailed dreams during this time, and sometimes it is a great dream that turns dark and feels like something its surrounding me. Glad I'm not alone!

Hi, i have had this happen to me only once, it was about 6 months ago, scariest feeling i have EVER had! woke up, only my eyes were open but i couldn't move, scream or do anything, barely breathing. Don't know what it was but didn't have any feeling of being watched or that, but since then i have had a lot of trouble falling asleep, every time i go to bed and try to sleep its like a shock that goes through me like i'm gonna stop breathing or something and i shake awake! has anyone ever had that? really freaks me out and feels like im gonna die when i fall asleep. please tell me if you have the same thing. doctor says its stress and stuff but i dont know. feels like i might have a breathing or heart problem, feels like my breathing isnt right and that the paralyzing comes from deficient oxygen to your body witch makes you unable to move? but thats just what i think and it freaks me out? what do you guys think?

repentance NEW
by: anon

This too has happened to me. It was right after my husband fell asleep. Something touched the back of my head and a feeling of dread and terror came over me. Somehow I fell asleep and dreamed my husband and I were casting out demons. We were both saved about a month previous to this. I woke up from the dream and my husband woke up at the same time. Without saying anything he looked behind me where this feeling of dread and terror was coming from. We prayed and then went back to bed. A few days later after my husband went to work he called me and we were praying together on the phone when all of the sudden that "evil" presence came back. I took my daughter to the neighbors house and prayed with my neighbor. I came back over to my house and it was like my eyes were opened for the first time. I didn't know then but I know now I was filled with the Holy Spirit! That day I was attacked by beings I couldn't see and was anointed by a neighbor who read scripture over me and the battle stopped. About three weeks later that dread and terror came back and I heard a voice say "repent!" I woke my husband and we repented. These feeling of dread and terror, evil, was my sin in the presence of a holy God. He is so Holy that a lie is utterly disgusting and sinful. God was so merciful to reveal my sin the way that He sees it. I could not hide from His light, it illuminated every sin because He is Holy, Holy, Holy! There was definitely a spiritual battle going on but Christ had and has the victory. He payed the ransom with His life blood imputing His righteousness to me while taking my sin and burying it. Its gone as far as the east is from the west. Gods wrath was satisfied through Christ and now I can come boldy to God because I am forgiven and am white as snow. I hope this can lead one person to repentance to receive the free gift of salvation. Its free because Jesus paid it all!

I havent had this in a couple of months now, but have expierienced this a couple of times.

The 1st couple of times, i woke up in my sleep, could see my bedroom but coudlnt move nor speak. I tried to scream out for help but nothing would come out. I tried to focus on moving my fingers but they wouldnt move. Like everyone else it wasnt untill i randomly though of jesus (and im not a religious person)i could move and speak.
The last time i had PS it was the same but this time i was shaking like having a fit and lasted a lot longer. It wasnt untill ive done some research i believe i was been shook by somthing'.

I have not yet to see anything like a shadow and hope i dont come across this.
I do not wish this experience upon anyone its 100 times worser than any night mare.
Touch Wood i dont experience this again.

i dont understand NEW
by: it happened againAnonymous

It started after i had a visitor stay in a spare room for a month. Two nights after she left my sheets were pulled. Then a dark "mass" pinned me down a few nights after that. Then a week went by and several dark shadows pinned me down and I could actually hear them breath and saw hand prints on the bed around me and felt i was being lifted and assaulted. The next day I cried all day. I slept with the light on for a month and it seemed to subside. Nothing has been the same since she stayed with me for a month. I still have night terrors and off and on weird stuff happens I dont want to talk about. I had a house cleansing and everything was fine for about 6 months. I try to ignore it as much as possible, but when the dog freaks out its hard to stay calm. I just want a peaceful nights sleep with the lights off and with out getting up 10 times.

The truth about sleep paralysis NEW
by: The truth

I Had this since I was little! I'm 30 now!
I thought they were just dreams at first!
But as I got older I realized I'm was being attacked by demons!
This Attack sometimes happens when I'm sleep and the bad dream jumps into reality and I wake up but can't open my eyes
Talk or move my body at first! But I can hear everything going on! Then I start to pray and rebuke them in the name of Jesus!
That's when for a split second I break free and can see what's attacking me! Trust me people what causes sleep paralysis is a demon! The more fearful you are the more powerful they attack you! Ive been attacked so many times I know when they are going to attack me be for I even go to sleep! One way you know you will be attacked is when you have cold feet! The other way I can tell is because I can feel a evil dark cloak like feeling come into the room! But what I want to say is don't be scared because we fight back! There are 1 thing which I know they are afraid of! And that is the to call on the name of Jesus!
They also don't like the light but they will attack you with it on or in daylight so don't trust in that!
So the the next time this happens rebuke them in the name of Jesus or sleep with bible on your chest or under your pillow!
Trust me they hate this and will run and flee!

The worse .. NEW
by: Marieta

The worse is when this is happening on top of that I have the sensation that some one is in my room but behind me. I even hear the breathing. It could be my own but unable to look back or to turn to see who is there i just continue struggling to wake up or talk to ask who's there. There has been times when I wake up with the sensation of have been sexually stimulated in my intimate part and it is really uncomfortable because I don't know what happened. I must say this occurred to me more often when I was single and I slept alone. During my married years it happened few times like 3 and I used to ask my husband if he had heard me struggling or moving too much at night.He always said he never heard anything. I think that it has to do with the way we position our body when we sleep and in a way our body tells us wake up your blood flow is incorrect or something like that.

sleep paralysis - my experience NEW
by: Anonymous

I only just discovered the term sleep paralysis today, after a mild episode last night. I am 40 and experienced this a few times a year since I was a teenager. As a teenager it happened frequently enough that I became scared of going to bed, though it eventually stopped after I confronted a recurring hallucination of a demon - I attacked it in my dream and that seemed to be the end of it for many years. I have since then learned to snap out of it. As I feel the pressure of the paralysis as I slip to sleep I refuse to give into it and will myself awake. This occurs when overly tired, on my own, stressed and falling to sleep on my back. It feels like an evil, sucking you to the bed. It still scares me, I may fall into paralysis and snap out of it a few times before I eventually get out of bed and actually turn the light on and sleep with it on all night, as I do get scared of the dark when on my own also. I dont let it get me! Now I know perhaps just sleeping on my side will help, I will know for next time.

scared to sleep NEW
by: Alex

This happens to me all the time ever since i could remember and my mother gets it as well. People have told me that when i do i twitch a lot too and my eyes move around rapdily. other than that its exactly the same for me. i feel like i cant move and that in my mind i am very much awake. the only other difference for me is that my head hurts and I hear a loud piercing noise. i kno it sounds quite freightening but if you relax and maybe let it just take over you then you just fall asleep and before you know it you are waking up the next morning. also i figuried out that if this is happning to you, just think of whatever you want and its almost like you can actually pick the dream you want that night.

On My Side... NEW
by: Aly, 12, Female

I had been up all night trying to see how long I could go before passing out, and I was having a really creepy dream. I can't really remember it, but all I know is that I felt like I was awake, but some part of me knew this was part of my dream, but I was seeing myself and trying to move my body to pull the covers up, because I was cold. My body was vibrating in the beginning...

Was this an OBE?

Glad to know Im not the only with this issue.. NEW
by: Anonymous

Im currently 22 and this just happened to me again.. Trying to get some sleep for work. I remember when it first happened.I remember watching the movie exorcism of emily rose that night with the family. Pretty frighting movie. I then went to my room and ended up sleeping but I was having an unusual dream about the movie where she was in that twisted position staring at her friend that had stayed the night with her. I suddenly woke up but I could only look around I try to move and scream and couldnt really breath either. I got freaked out and told my parents I was afraid I was getting possesed.. For nights after that It happened over and over for about 2 weeks straight. In the time I developed different ways to cope with it. When it happens use everything you got and push your way out of it. Like I couldnt move but I sure did give it hell. Second when I got it to stop I would always fall asleep thinking about good things. Putting my mind at ease or not stressing myself out. It helped to always have noise of some sort that changes. I live by a freeway and my window was open but noone was really driving by so I imagine I slipped into it. I expeirenced it falling to sleep also. Id catch myself. It felt like I was falling into a deep deep sleep.. So get up walk around read something for a bit to take your mind off of it. Drink some water and think about good things and it should help.. Well it does with myself.I hope my experiences help. :)

You ate something heavy before goin to sleep like pork ect ect.... Dont eat as much before goin to sleep wait a little bit its nothing about a soul or anything it happends when you that.. And yea when you feel that your dreaming your not awake ive had dem.. its just people and thier sayings every body has their own sayings like what they say if you sneeze it means your soul is trying to leave your body or yawn its bullshit... Just watch what you do before you sleep. And yea they feel nasty you cant move or scream and if you try to scream its like a low scream like if your whispering i and somethings on top of u holding you tight and down... Its a dream just dont do much or eat something heavy before going to sleep eat cereals or something.. and its normal i dont know this dream is called but in Spanish its called a PESADIA look it up itll.probly translate hope this helps..

Some experience I had NEW
by: Jacob

I have had those kind of what ever you want to call them . While I am sleeping then all of the sudden I feel something is going to happen shortly , and I am trying very hard to get up , or even try to open my eyes with no luck , I can hear some spirits whispering in my ears , or those spirits talking to each other , some times i can hear them loud and clear talking to each other like completely a different world around us without noticing their presence . But what ever that is , I think It's something bad because one of the night I was able to open my eyes for less than blink of an eye , I saw a very ugly looking face looking at my face and it disappeared right a way as soon as I saw it . Please don't lough that is realy what I had experienced and I don't know what that is .

I think this really happens when you r really tired but you are refusing to sleep. Its wierd... this happend to me lots of times. This actually happened to me 2 days ago. It felt like a soul left my body...... except i was the soul. There was something else floating above em pulling me. I cant move at all... i try to break out of the force.... with all my power... and i do break out. but i move very slow. And i scream out words... but i cant hear it only the figure above me can. and I know it can because when ever i insult it, the figure trys to torture me.... It kust gets mad. It feels like im deaf and in a black world. I fight the creature moving in slow motion.... it figures it cant handle me at that time... its just not as powerful... it leaves.... but when it comes back, it comes back even stronger than before. Now, am i terrified of this creature?YES....Will I give up?NO

Hi dear, I just read your story too! this actually happened to me last night again! it has happened to me a lot of times since I was a child, Its just crazy, its like they lock you from outside and you are free inside but cannot show it! I have heard something about these small species that they have been mentioned in holy books too! so since then, every time it happens to me, I start wishing and reading some of the holy book, and they will go away! i did exactly the same last night and they left me alone! I hope you talk to me more about this experience! I am so interested to know more about this feeling!

Good luck anyway

SP Solution NEW
by: Nat

I used to get this all the time - I know how scary it is to wake up, feel paralized and try to screem with nothing coming out. I also saw a dark figure at the end of my bed on one occasion and often felt like I was being dragged - sometimes I'd even wake up at the end of my bed - terrifying!!! I slept with a cross by my pillow in the end, but the thing that ended these night terrors was listening to music as I went to sleep. I listened to Enigma and this seemed to end the sp. Hope this helps!

Sleep Paralysis NEW
by: Anonymous

To all the people who have sleep paralysis, I have some advise for you, I have had sp for over 25 years now, and yes...it is a very scary moment when you are experiencing sleep paralysis. I was 12 yrs. old when I first had my first horrifying experience, I told my sister about it because I had been having the sp almost every night and she told me that whenever I feltl the numbness starting to overpower my body to hum as loud as I could and she would shake me the minute she heard me, and it worked. Now that im married my husband taps on my shoulder whenever he hears me hum because he knows that if I'm humming it means I'm having an episode of sp and also last night my 5 yr old came to my bed in the middle of the night and shortly after i began to have another nightmare and my son already new what to do...he tapped me and said, momma, momma wake up your at it again and my body snapped out of it. I loved one of the comments that said to say or think of Jesus....I will definitly be doing that next time!

Scared to sleep NEW
by: Ashlee

About two months ago I had my first paranormal experience when i woke up and saw a balck figure standing across the room. I told my boyfriend about it the next morning, and from then on became very intrigued about the paranormal. I was watching movies, shows, reading books, so on and so on. Im now afraid i brought this upon myself. As the days have gone on, i felt the thing get closer and closer to me until one night it got in bed with me and touched my leg. It wasnt till two nights later that i had my first sp experience. I was awoken by the shadow and it holding me down. i couldnt move, speak, nothing. I felt hopless. I remember it talking to me and there were a few words i rememberd when i snapped out of it. I have been scared and paranoid since then. Im trying to seek help, with some christian counselors and blessings of my local church. Reading these posts really helped me to see that im not going crazy that this happens to a lot of people. But this isnt gonna stop my battle in overcoming this. I know there is a strength in all of us. Whether your sp is spiritual or not, we can beat it.

Has anyone experience not being able to breath NEW

I had this happen to me last night. I was talking on the cellphone through my ear piece with my girlfriend, and during her fussing I was fallen asleep and started dreaming I was driving a car and couldnt turn the steering wheel, then I couldn't move or talk but could hear her and was trying to scream her name but could only make moaning noises. she heard me and was gonna call 911 but after about 30 seconds i was able to break free. But my question is a few years ago I had this happen and I couldn't move or BREATH( Itwas like I forgot how to breath and couldn't tell my brain how to breath). Then I slowly get the strength to move and break through. has this happen to anyone? it seems if It would have lasted longer I would be dead..

I got my head but my head is unraveling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
I got my heart but my heart's no good
you're the only one that's understood

I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more I give to you the more I die

and I want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug

you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
I see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart

my blood just wants to say hello to you
my fear is warm to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little bit is left of me

take me with you
without you everything just falls apart
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

Being held down NEW
by: Anonymous

Well this has happened to me aswell 2 times in my life.First time I was in my room sleeping with my wife by my side.I do first have to admit I have been living a not so good life.Picked up alot of habits(bad ones.I do assist church on sundays and feel good once I leave the church.When the week starts I go back to does bad habits.The first time this happened I felt the force holding me down,I couldnt move,eyes where wide opened and trying to call my wife but was not able to.I then looked up and there was a spirit sitting on my chest in a black cape.I honestly knew it was a bad spirit trying to get to me.The force holding me down and protecting me was the hand of God protecting me from this evil spirit.As I fell back to sleep I felt these 2 forces fighting over me.Next morning I wake up and didnt came to my mind what just happened that night.On my way to work it came to me,and I was questioning myself what happened that night.Was it a sleep or was it real? Well kept on thinking about it and driving to work.I then looked at the car in front of me and took a glimpse at the side mirror od the car in front of me.There it was, a DEMON in shape of a ugly dog,more like a hyenna looking back at me.I said to my self that cant be,or maybe this person is driving with a dog on his lap.Well,guess again.Drove around the car(pasanger side) and notice there wasn't any dog inside the car or neither couldn't see the person driving face.Tear started coming down my eyes as I knew that what happend to me the night before was a sign from the lord.People,we have to know that there's a God and a devil.You walk the wrong path of life and the devil will come into your life just as you walk the right path and good would enter your life.I went to church next sunday and told my pastor what happend to me and he knew exactly what this was.Happened to him when he was young while he was thinking into becoming a man of God.Second time was just last night.Same thing happened,but this time no spirit sitting on my chest.Just heard foots steps but could turn to see what it was as I was being held secured by God telling me" dont turn as I will protect you and fight for you" This was a bit more intense due to hearing the steps and felt as if it reached out to me.But then again the lord was protecting me.We have to start walking the good path my friends.We cant ignore this,we have to look into ourself and do a bit of soul searching.WE ingnore all this and keep living our life the wrong way the results wont be goo.The lord says"help yourself and I will help you.God bless.

TOE WRINKLE CURE NEW
by: ISLAND VOODOO

This often happens to me when I was young and still does. I am from the pacific island of Vanuatu and here we still have old traditional beliefs of spirits.

My granny use to tell me that at night during midnight when other ghost is out wondering around they confused you from a death person, so they come and try to take your spirit out from your body that is why you feel a pressure and cant talk etc.... BUT they cannot remove your spirit from your body is because your still alive and our spirit is attached to our toes.

So when this happens you wrinkle your toes and you the ghost will know your alive and leave you a lone!!! It works for me every time till now I am married it also work for my kids.

I saw this website and want to contribute which I am sure will help others. Science is based on facts in your world BUT in my world where voodoos and evils spirits haunts you in middle the night we use fire against fire!!!!

sleep paralysis NEW
by: Anonymous

I just had an episode and it lasted longer than any I have had before. I dreamt my daughter was dead in the back of my car but i also felt a really dark presence behind me in the car too. as I flinched I woke up but couldn't move a muscle I coulees see everything and hear everything. I have experienced this since I was a child and I am in my forties. I had an episode about a month ago and my girlfriend was beside me in bed and said I was shaking like crazy but more like vibrating (thats when I was trying to fight my way back to consciousness) this time though I couldn't move a muscle and it was definitely the longest episode because I really started to think I was going to stay in that condition. I prayed Jesus to deliver me and as I prayed the force on me lifted very quickly and i jumped and gasped at the same time . I had fallen asleep watching a horror movie before this and I know for a fact I allowed an entity into my home by doing this. Sleep paralysis is a spiritual phenomenon and don't be fooled that it is from lack of sleep etc etc.

Repeated nightmare with an evil being NEW
by: MaggieAco

My name is Maggie. I have been experiencing the same episodes. But I can't say they're related to sleep paralysis. To be frank this is the first time I hear of sleep paralysis and will be definitely looking into it. I've had these horrible nightmares episodes for over 18 years now. They always happen when I'm sleep deprived, when I go to sleep so exhausted and so weak that I can't even keep my eyes opened even with fear. It's always the same nightmare. I'm sleeping on my bed on my tummy side and I feel this horrible vibe and goosebumps all over. Then gets on top of me and traps me there and starts to touch me sexually. Since I'm so weak from sleep he always tries to convince me that it feels good. But I know and feel his evilness. I try to move away. But like Megan describes I can't move, talk or scream, he is pressuring me down. So all I can do is start praying over and over again until I wake up with a scream. My mom bought me a crucifix for this purpose. Once I wake up I have to wear it and the "Evil Thing" leaves me alone.
By the way the nightmare only happens when I'm not wearing the crucifix. But sometimes I forget to wear it to bed. But last nights nightmare was completely different because I heard him laugh a horrible evil laugh that scared me more than ever. His laugh was like he was warning me that he was getting closer in possessing me. I also want to say that these nightmares started after one night I spent the nite at my sister's house and while sleeping I woke up and saw a something that looked like a black shadow leaving my body.
Any advise would truly be appreciated.

CAn't talk, Cant scream NEW
by: Nicole

Excuse my english.

In my dream what happened was, I were in a province far away from my home, and I was trying to find a ride. When I found one it took me to places then we stopped I entered a house and when I got out my ride was gone, so I tried to find other ones. When I find a car I couldnt get to them because I can't run fast enough and that scene happened again and again. When I got real close to a gang's large truck, I touched it then it tipped/fell over. so he chased me when he got to me he kicked me, but I didn't feel it. and that is where the "real" dream stops. And now the scary part, I entered a room and inside their was a scary person who got really close to me, and then I woke up. The door in my room was left ajar and the scary person was staring at me through the door with angry eyes. I was so scared I tried to scream for help, but i can't I couldn't say anything. Whenever I try to scream what happen is I swallow ( or any other word that is close to swallowing.)
I try to scream and scream but nothing comes out, I was panicking and I remembered to pray. So I put my hands together, I was shocked I could even do that, and I prayed "Angel of God" "Hail Mary" "Our Father" after that I woke up for real, and the door was still left ajar and the scary person was gone. It just happened an hour ago before i was writing this. After I woke up I was scare to get out of my bed and scared to stay in it. i stood up and walked to the door, opened it and winced because I thought the scary person would appear again. I ran to my mother's room and stayed there, I thought I was hearing things like a person humming and I thought "He was REAL!" While i was writing I still felt paranoid.

Email me if you can gie me any advice about what happened to me because I dont know if what happened to me was real or just sleep paralysis

Being pinned to the bed and having a full on fight with a dark figure NEW
by: Anonymous

Hey Ivw been having these weird episodes were I feel myself being pinned down to my bed can't barely move or talk ..... But what's strange is that every time this happens! I'm in a fully blown fight with a dark figure ....
The first time this happened was frightening to say the least... It's like your awake but you feel pinned to the bed but the first time was were I saw a figure standing at my bedroom door.... All in black with a cloak and a hood covering the face..... And the next I knew, we was in a tussle .... I could feel his arms squeezing my throat although I knew I was in my bed struggling to move and I thought this thing is going to kill me if I dont do something ...... So I held my breath hoping that whatever this was would ease his grip, and I could feel the grip loosening from my neck .... So I managed to somehow just uppercut this thing .... And as just as that .... he fled!!!! .... And I suddenly found myself in my bed were a black shadow I saw left my room banging my bedroom and bathroom door .... Now I was really shocked by this thinking what the f***k ..... Considering to sleep in my car but I just stayed awake to the morning...... Now afew days later I told my friends what happened and put the whole thing down to a nightmare .... Then about 4 days later .... I was asleep and I felt this force again pinning me to my bed and I felt awake and then I saw the same black cloaked figure standing by my bedroom door with a drooping hood ....... And I thought ahh Jesus !!!! Not again !!!! The figure spoke and said I found you again !!!!! And me being thick I said what kept u..... And I could feel him attack me ..... I feel this struggle as if I'm half asleep were I know I'm being held down but I have use of my strength and I manage to be a handful for this thing whatever this is ......

Hey Ivw been having these weird episodes were I feel myself being pinned down to my bed can't barely move or talk ..... But what's strange is that every time this happens! I'm in a fully blown fight with a dark figure ....

my xperiance NEW
by: gibbo of le12 england

I have had these about 20 to 25 times in the last 4 years. From my own xperiance I found I get them when I'm hot and lyeing on my back. Its definately a dream cuz I try to shout my partner or squueze her hands when dis is happeninn but nuttin happens I have to exhale to snap out of it feels like I could die from not breathing by not doing this. My partner never hears me calling although I know nuttin comes out. I have had weird dreams wit this although most the tyme I dream my exact position in my bed and can even feel my parners hand but just can't move it to get her to wake me, don't think it nuttin to worry about I snap out all da time but yhyh it freaky but siiik I enjoy it.

It is a demonic attack... NEW
by: Anonymous

You must call on the name of Jesus when this happens. I also strongly encourage you to join a church where you are taught about spiritual warfare. Ask if they teach about spiritual warfare. We do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. You must give your life to Jesus. Pray and ask him to be your savior, ask him to come into your heart and you must confess that you need Jesus to forgive you of your sins. Ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life. No man or woman may come unto the Father except through Jesus. Also join a church where you are tought about the Holy Spirit and I encourage you to become baptized in water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I also encourage you to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit so that you will be filled with the power of God. The same power that raised Christ from the dead. I release the very presence of God into your life right now, I release the saving grace of Jesus Christ into your life right now. I declare that you are free because he or she whom the Son sets free is free indeed! Jesus loves and wants to fill your life and heart with His love and divine presence. Ask Jesus to come into your life and get a bible, begin to read it daily and in copious amounts. For simplicity's sake a King James Version will do fine, sorry about the old English... Or try New King James Version. Pray and declare the very love and protection of God over your life, out loud. Speak positive life affirming things over yourself about how much Jesus loves you! Ask Jesus to open the truth of the bible to you, ask him to make real His love and word to you. Find a strong and devout Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit to be a mentor to you. Ask Jesus for help finding such a person. He will bring them across your path, possibly in a very random way or through someone you know. God wants to prosper you and see you grow in freedom from demonic oppression. Remember cry out to Jesus. Get the word of God inside your life. Fourwindsinternationalchurch.com has cd's and teachings that will help your Christian walk. Also via email you can request help and prayer. Jesus loves you and died for your sins and to set you free from sin and death and demonic oppression. Be free and choose Jesus!!!

scary as fuck! NEW
by: Eddie

ok guys this "Sleep parlysis" happend to me last night but i dont belive its SP because why is it scaring me so much? some other guy that posted about this said his doctor said it happens to you atleast once in your life and its all ok.i dont beleiev that at all. i took a nap yesterday and when i woke up i kept itching my left bicep and then finially looked at it and it had 3 scratches on it. and i have 6 cats and there is no way it was one of my cats cause the scratces were way to big to be from a cat. then that same night i remember i woke up and i was laying on my belly side and i was pinned down, couldnt move and couldnt breath. my eyes were wide open and i trid to scream but it seemed like my mouth was glued shut. it scared the shit out of me. as im writing this now im getting gooseebumps. every1 that has this experience please beleiev in GOD. i dont go to church or read the bible but the reason why saying im God blessed and Jesus Christ is my savior works against these dark forces is because GOD AND Jesus are the strongest forces that there is. so the dark forces get scared cause they know Jesus and GOD could beat the hell outta them. please keep posting recent stories im sooooooooooo interested

this happens to me all the time NEW
by: Anonymous

Are you seeing the room you are sleeping in as it really is? I mean like your eyes are open and you REALLY ARE AWAKE, but somehow you are not able to do anything about it? Here's the trick; those moments you are the most freaked out, shake your head. Seriously! Imagine you are shaking your head (it also helps if you think of something you want to eat... usually candy bars for me- and I never eat them) This has plagued me for awhile, most of the time during day time naps. SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE your head

HOLY SHIT KIERAN, Exactly what I jus experienced! NEW
by: Davilindo U.S.

I just had the exact same experience happen to me and just reading your comments gave me the fawkin chills! I just came across this forum because I was curious to know if anyone else had experienced this also but the way you describe it is crazy, freaky! It always happens to me and it does freak me out most of the times cause it's reoccurring and often several episodes in one night. The strangest thing this time though and it's the reason I wanted to look it up on the web is that this last time (3 or 4 nights ago) It was different. I didn't know if I was asleep or awake but I was asleep and felt like a sudden pressure on my body woke me up and I thought to myself " Oh shit an earthquake" (I live in California and they're common)I thought the pressure on me was debris from my house that had collapsed on me and I thought as a survival instinct "I gotta move fast and get this shit off me and run out" As soon as that thought came in I felt I couldn't get up and I tried moving and couldn't, I tried yelling for help and couldn't, I cried out to my girlfriend and I can feel that every thing was muffled so I tried pounding on my bedside furniture, in hopes my girlfriend (she was asleep on the living room couch with my little boy) could here me and help me but couldn't. I started struggling with what was on top of me and it wasn't debris it was two dark scary figures pinning me down and trying to strangle me. they were all black with something that resembled like a cloak or robe flapping with the wind. I starting wrestling with them and pushed them off of me and tried looking at there faces as I did but they had no faces it was just black or shadowy with nothing there. As I was still wrestling with them I tried tapping my bedside furniture really hard with my fingertips to make noise so that someone can help me but it was futile! I kept on trying till I succeeded but I wasn't sure if it was loud enough for anyone to hear. I continued fighting the shadowy figures and finally got them off me and woke up gasping and all shook up. I was tripping out for about 5 minutes trying to figure out what the hell had just happened and afraid of falling back asleep right away cause I knew I would go back to whatever it was happening to me. Just today I told my girlfriend about the experience cause it was so weird and she told me she has the same thing happen to her sometimes and said it was some demon trying to get her and all this superstitious bullshit. I'm not superstitious and don't believe in the spirit realm and am agnostic, so I told her that was a bunch of bull and that there's gotta be a scientifical explanation for it as everything else does. Everytime she comes to me with her superstitious crap I always have an answer for it but this time I thought I'd research the web and came across this site. Now I don't know what the fawk to think after reading Kieren's post.

Ahhh NEW
by: Anonymous.K

I'm 21 years old. I've been experiencing this about 5 times now in the past couple months. Today I just googled if this is common and it brought me here. One time I dreamt I was laying in my bed and a bright light was running into me again and again and I couldn't move my body while it was happening. Last night I dreamt I was laying asleep and this lady was standing in the same room as me and I could see her shadow.. I tried so hard to yell or move... I was trying so hard and my mind knew I was in this state that I wasnt able to do anything. BUT then finaly I was able to run after her and catch her. It was an older lady and I was asking her why she was there and she was saying she wasn't but i could tell she was hiding something.. I don't know? I think this is it?

belief NEW
by: Mani

iam in my late 30's and i had these sort of dreams and aways the same terifiying ones as if some being is terrorising me,very rare that i see them but i know me soul can feel them very strongly.Just last week i went to bed while my husband was downstairs,iifeel asleep and felt some evil faced demon came as a human very evil looking and he was lying next to me looking at me ,i tried calling for my husband but as usual i couldnt.I new i was dreaming and i was thinking that once i get up from this nastie sleep i'll run in full speed to my husband,i also told myself that i was dreaming and i want this dream to end,which did, and that the thing was gone.First of all these dreams are real and they go on in our spiritual side of our life which to most people is not true.there are alot of things that occur in peoples lives that are unexplainable.But these dreams are from the devils or jinns that are presently living with humans in this world,there are more devils and jinn are than humans in this world,people recall them as ghosts,ufos,and so on.There is a chapter also verses mentioned about jinn in the holy quran and most christians,jews and other religions believe.Have belief in the almighty god and the hereafter, be pure from the inside and out, these things cant harm you.I hope this was of some help.

Evil NEW
by: Anonymous

This happened to me when I was 14. I am now 35. I could not move, scream or wake up. I felt as though I levitated a few inches above my bed. I knew it was something evil. There was much evil around my home as I was growing up as a child. My parents were on meth and crack. I found a book of witch craft at a drug house my mom took me to, started experimenting with spells and ouija board. Then I experienced this phenomenon and realized the evil around me. I changed my life and sought out Jesus to save me and now I have a better understanding of the evil in this world.

Been there:( NEW
by: Anonymous

I know its such a scary thing to go through i use to go through this in my early 20's i am now 36.. At the time i wasnt getting a lot of sleep due to work and raising a child, I dont want to label it because be it scientific or something else who knows. I would not be able to move and i would try to yell at my boyfriend to wake me, because i felt short of breath but nothing. After getting so frustrated i dont know why but i bought a book on astrial travel ( out of body experience) I know i sound crazy but in this book there was a chapter about the same symptoms i was having. Funny thing was after this episodes i always heard a loud noise before i could finally wake and move. After reading this book it mentioned when people "travel" often your guardian angel will "snap" you out of it and the noise you hear is your soul reentereing your body..Crazy i now how all this sounds but one thing it did teach me is to try to stay calm and if you want to "come back" start by wiggling your toes, then move feet and so on.. I kid you not this always help.. Havent had them in years but hope this helps

CRAZY NAP NEW
by: Anonymous

just woke up from a nap on my couch, or i thought i did. I "awoke" to being on my couch staring at my fireplace and feeling a violent shake and tingle through my body almost like being posessed. It freaked me out because I could not move and when I talked my words were slurred. I would evetually try to shake my head to the right and sit up. I wouyld be able to but the same thing was in front of me everywhere i looked. I kept hearing noise behind me like someone was in the house, when in reality I was home alone. I could not look behind mw which scared me even more. This time I knew I was dreaming at this point. I rebuked the devil in the name of Jesus over and over again. It provided some confidence and comfort. My heart felt like i was having a heart attack the whole time and a strong ringing in my ears. I eventually awoke and back to normal life. I have never had this but I feel like it is something trying to attack me while I sleep. WHen having nightmares I usually know it is but than I pray to Jesus and I know he is there to get me through my hard times, and evetually the evil things go away.

Sleep Paralysis NEW
by: Daniel

It's something natural that happens to your body so during your dreams you dont flail around and hurt yourself. Your awake when that is happening to you. It happened to me a few time, I felt like I was tripping on the heaviest dose of DMT or something. Dont worry about it, it's just a trip, first time it happened to me I was hearing demonic voices and my room kind of turned into a spirit world. The demonic voices thing happens to alot of people so dont get scared by it

This time I saw it. NEW
by: genniferrhorn@yahoo.com

Ive never had s.p. until after I was baptized on March 13th 1994 at the age of 22. My first experiance I remember clearly, my mind was awake, I was aware my husband was lying next to me and I was totally concience but unable to move, I felt if I yelled his name and he responded to me I would awaken,if I could kick him, nothing.I fought it and woke up, Once I opened my eyes and had full body sp, I could not move my eyes though.I have never seen anything untill the night before last, it always feels like a demon is doing it, call on Jesus on my mind and I am released everytime. The other night it was walking towards me it was cloaked in black with a white face and in my mind I said "Save me Jesus" and woke up. Whats going on? I prayed that God will protect me from them/it. Ive never asked Gods help with it before, I dont know why it happens, I just know the moment I say Jesus help me He does. We serve a Living God who is with us in every moment, even watching over his chidren in their sleep'

How to get help easily NEW
by: banner


When I married to my husband I was already pregnant and so I didn't have a job. He had a really good job though so I was able to

stay home and take care of our son when it was born. When we had our second child we moved to a bigger house, but then

strange things started to happen. Things would fly off the walls and doors would slam at night. Our oldest son talked about seeing

figures and hearing voices. We consulted a medium and they said the house was haunted. After living there about a year more

with only minor occurrences we moved out. That was when the bad luck started to happen. Everything started to fail, with my

husband's job, our money and our luck in general. I went back to the same medium and they told me that a spirit had followed me

and placed a curse upon me for disturbing it and not being respectful in the previous house. He tried to remove it but was unable.

The misfortune kept going on and getting more severe as I tried to search out someone to break the curse. But when I found

freemercytemple@yahoo.com he finally did it. Things started turning around almost immediately after he cast the spell and have

been great from there! This was really a miracle for us, thank you Dr. Messiah from the bottom of my heart!

Spirits NEW

I've experienced this feeling a lot in the past two years. I am Hmong and in my culture, it means there is a spirit that is literally "sitting" or "laying on top" of you. Some people believe it's scientific but I believe it's all spiritual. I've gotten it so much that now it's just annoying. Whatever these spirits are, they just really need to go away and stop bugging me!

Feel dirty this a.m. NEW
by: Addie

For a week or so now, I have what feels like someone's hand, resting on my hip (I sleep on my side). Last night, it decided to move to my midriff and eventually up my PJ shirt. I rolled over onto the other side, and it continued. So I was tried to hold my breath to see if it was my imagination or if the "touch" would move. It moved . . . I could feel fingers . . . carressing . . . the "touch" became more sexual and exciting and the more labored my breathing got, the more the "touch" began to move up towards my breasts and I kept thinking - this is the devil. I'm not paralyzed . . . I can talk, walk, etc. - but this morning (after I finally got 3 hours sleep), I felt like I had sex with an unclean spirit. Is there a scientific reason for this, or a spiritual one?

A word of advice, I'm a 48 yr. old female who can relate to most of your stories. I started having the same experiences at the age of 15. Please listen to what I'm going to tell you. Yes, this is a spiritual thing....yes you can call it demonic. For those of you who know a thing or two of the bible, you know this is a spiritual battle. Good against evil, for those of you who don't read the bible here's a crash course. Satan is a fallen angel, his name is Lucifer...he was Gods right hand angel. But Lucifer was so jealous of God that he started to turn some of the other angels against God. So God casted him out of heaven along with 1/3 of the angels to planet earth. So, Satan runs planet earth along with his dark angels. His goal it to take as many humans down with him. It's the great battle for our souls. He will try many tricks to deceive us and one of them is while we sleep cause that’s when we are the most vulnerable. Satan is very angry cause he knows that the battle was won when Jesus Christ was crucified. The blood of Jesus covers us all who accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and Satan can't touch you. I advise you to spend some time getting to know who Jesus is, and ask him to come into your life and to guide you in your walk getting to know more about him. By the way when you feel the nightmare coming on when sleeping, repeat the following " I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ" if you can't say it think it. Repeat it as many times as you have to, if you say it with authority it will vanish instantly. Don't be afraid, you are a child of God, he created you and you are a perfect creation. God does not make mistakes, we do. As a child of God we have authority over Satan, but a word of caution. Don't have a verbal battle with Satan, don't talk to him....you command him, tell him to leave, rebuke him. This is not a physical battle it's a spiritual battle. He may be in a form of just a horrible fear during your episode or you may feel a heavy body on top of you or like the person on the last posting described it, a sexual experience. The dangerous thing is what she did, she went along with it and she actually felt that she had sex with it. NOT GOOD, don't go along with anything, get rid of it ASAP. We are living in times where we are going to be seeing things we have not seen before. Get right with God ASAP, prepare yourself, God is calling us to make a stand, and the enemy is working harder then ever before cause he knows he is running out of time. I recommend you doing a research online on Prophecy of end times. Good luck to all and may God guide you all in your walk.

Hey ... you decribed EXACTLY what sometimes happens to me .. and yes .. I try very hard to shake it off and wake up .. because when it happens to me I feel like someone is standing next to me. So ...

Just relax NEW
by: Rich

I have been doing this for twenty plus years and I have gotten pretty comfortable with it all you have to do is quit fighting it, just close your eyes like you are going back to sleep and you will pop right out of it. I figured this out about my junior year of high school. The key is as long as you struggle to move you will not and once you close your eyes back like you are going back to sleep you will wake right up. Try it:)

When your can't move or scream NEW
by: Anonymous

When your being attacked by an evil entity, satan or whatever you want to call it. It does not want you to speak you need to speak the name of Jesus Christ. Not to scare the wits out of some who does not believe in God He does exist ask any athiest that has a near death experience
after they come back. Well the atheist usually starts going to church! I think you should go to church, love God and be baptized in holy water!There is an articulate catholic Priest who does exorcisms by the thousands and I consider him an authority on the subject. I listened to him one night and wow I was highly impressed with his delivery, intelligence and articulation on the subject. Anyhow, what I gathered is that YOU MUST speak the words OUTLOUD yell them . In Jesus Christ Name in the name of the father, the son the holy Ghost...etc..this will protect you .
