My Sleep Paralysis & Evil Presence in Bedroom as a Child

[argentus]

I was raised a Catholic but I along with my parents were not considered zealots. I stopped attending church for almost 4 deacades and returned after seeking anszers t what I have been subjected to. 

From a "science" perspective this is somewhat simple. Gather at least 1000 people globally who have sleep paralysis and determine whethe a common gene exists in all that may trigger the SP and the prescence of the hooded whatever aka a Demon as it was first reported in China back around 400-500 BC. 

I have never heard buzzing but I know people who do. It; "buzzing" is mentioned in two of the books that I referenced.  I would suggest that you read them and possibly pursue some belief in God and see if it either works or helps you. 

I dont always "trust" the science

 A very good friend has offered me insight into this process.   I think I will follow them down the rabbit hole.   I'll post here should I have any important insights.  ;o)

I am always open to different perspectives and reasoning so if you can report back? I am not aligned with the science on Sleep Paralysis.

Sleep Paralysis


I've been experiencing this off and on for decades; often times in a semi-hypnopompic state. It's quite unnerving as you begin to wake while simultaneously realizing that your body is completely frozen, but ever so slowly and little by little you once again begin garnering the ability to command it. Sometimes I flop around a little like a fish out of water and end up half off the bed. I've experienced OBE's during this, mild to extreme vibrations, and felt unknown presence, but I can't really be sure although that's how it felt.

The SP experiences are widespread and share similar and consistent phenomena. Often times these shadow persons adorning their fedoras are reported and SP has also been associated with the alien abduction phenomena; also with the Old Hag Syndrome.

Some believe that various sleep states may open us up to a form of entity attack which could be like a type of attempted possession of the semi-occupied physical vessel.

The use of certain drugs and/or alcohol may intensify this phenomenon.

Shared imagination? Influenced dream states of psychic awareness?

When I did too many rave drugs (like Ketamine) as a teenager, I used to get sleep paralysis. Experiences were never "Dark presences" as much as fear caused by my body going numb and feeling like I was having some weird lucid dream stroke. Like extreme fear is associated with this altered state simply for being abnormal and your conscious mind responding to things being wrong.

I wouldn't see "shadow people" as much as conflate REM and my bedroom. Like there would be an awareness I was essentially in two states of consciousness at once.

I would stop fighting the experience and let them go and they would dance through my unconscious with these profound experiences.

Like encountering a persistent or invasive school administrator telling me she's not my enemy. Or seeing the secret life of my actual enemy, the amazingly repressed projection master, that was making sure my life was annoying.

I decided to take a shot in a dark and it helped almost immediately. You know when you can tell a person is talking about you, and you know exactly what their talking about? They just exude their salacious gossip.

I had enough, and walked up to her, and just said, "Why don't you ever hang out at school with the girl you hang out with everyday after school?"

And walked away.

Stopped spreading rumors about me after that. Well, for a few weeks anyway. And then it switched to being more passive-aggressive.

Thank you sleep paralysis in any case.

Always wondered how accurate or psychically aware these unconscious states are because it seemed to be right.

Shared imagination no. Drugs, no. We never talked about it and this stuff didnt surface until Easter 2024 as my brother brought it up along with my other brother sleeping with the light on throughout his lifetme. Thats almost 35 years after we experienced it

I struggled with these issues for decades.   I would sense a malevolence, and try to wake up by screaming.   That screaming would exhibit itself as me making scared little mewling sounds and anyone I was with would shake me awake and then elect to never sleep next to me again.   This went on from my teens to my 20's and 30's.  

I have many times viewed entities while I was in that semi-state between wakefulness and sleep.   I still don't fully understand it, but since I've been with my Bride (married in 1988), I have come to know that she hears my cries, wakes me up, and is not aware of any physical entities within the room. 

I can't tell you how happy that made me to know that there was nothing there that she could see.   It is possible that there are entities on another vibrational channel that she couldn't see, but it is enough for me that she couldn't see little dark lumps of creatures, looking like living fire hydrants, while I was mewling like a scared feline in my "sleep".   

So now, whenever it happens, my Darlin' wakes me up and I roll over and slip back into sleep.   I know it happens more often if I am sleeping on my back.   I know that when I get what I call the 'electric dreams' where I feel a thrumming going up and down my body, that I am more susceptible to sleep paralysis.   Now, when I feel the electric dreams, I just get up and move around and maybe read a book sitting up for a while.   I don't like those, NoSir.  When I feel the electric dreams, they come with not only a physical sensation, but a sound.   I think sometimes that if I were more evolved, I could use this phenomenon and explore another level of existence.   I have tried at times, but not been successful.   Anyway, that is my SP experiences.   Began in my 20s, and now I'm in my late 60's.

When it happen as my last episode was on January 31, 2022 I think of Jesus and ask for help and it stops immediately
