I've been spooked plenty of times in a dream state and have gotten it under control pretty quick. This time was no different.

I willed whatever I thought it was away and everything was fine. It was gone so I smiled at myself at another job well done and was just gonna wait until I could move.

But then... My body started vibrating suddenly. Not shaking but vibrating kind of like a buzz. That thing was touching me now or something I don't know what the fuck but it was happening. I just knew something was going on that I couldn't figure, I wasn't dreaming but I was able to stay out of a fearful mindset, which seems to be the key to ending these scenarios.

There was a time before that, both instances were recent enough, where again in sleep paralysis, I could feel something with what felt like really long fingers sliding down the sides of my head and down my neck. I don't quite remember how long it went on for but again, the key seems to be to not feel fear and just know whatever is going on, is immaterial. Weird stuff man.

I heard the same thing once walking from my car to my front door, but it hit me in the face with a gust of wind. I looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a curtain inside the house move like someone was trying to hide. Nobody was home at the time and I was alone. Later, my brother-in-law called and said he was coming over (unrelated—I was going to tell him what happened to me when he came over). When he finally arrived, he was late. When I asked him what took so long to get here, he said he had been passed out on the driveway (where I heard the voice), and he had just come to. He said when he put his hand on the back gate, he saw a flash of light and then just passed out.

As far as sleep paralysis goes, I never hear voices, but I have found that that state is directly adjacent to a lucid dream. Kind of a lucid nightmare?

Focus on Christ.

They really don't like it when you do that.

it's just in ur head, the human mind is extremely complex and our imaginations are very powerful. if you 'think' it's demons or some other nonsense you'll convince yourself that it is. if you forget that crap then you won't. the more you indulge in that nonsense the more it will be on your mind and 'manifest'. everyone has this experience after watching scary movies.. your mind will put u in a state of fear. but a week later when it's not on your mind anymore you can walk around in the dark without the slightest shred of fear.

There are different frequencies which we can't see that exist. In certain mental or emotional states, or with the proper manipulation of energy, they can be accessed.

In my case, you could be right but these types of things aren't all made up in the mind of a random idiot like me.

[–] • 0 pt

it's not the 1300s when that theory might make sense. we have instruments to measure, listen, see in almost all frequencies. there's nothing 'sentient' there.. and in 1300 you probably could've figured that out, because only life is sentience, and life isn't a wavelength. some 'other dimensional being' could send a message to you via a wavelength, sure.. but if they could do that, they could pick any wavelength to speak to you whenever, not one that requires special one-time unexplainable access for no purpose. you're just bending reality to fit your imagination.

Demons are very real. I have seen people tormented by them who emphatically exclaim exactly what you say. Actually, usually in far higher frequency than others.

. You don't even have to be "religious" to believe in them. It's just about appreciating nuance, and the symbolic nature of our existence.

lol. great evidence. they're not real retard

Oh. I thought I was talking to someone with half a brain who might respond intelligently. Another one for the block list, cheers and thank you for letting me know. Poal has gotten remarkably better since we started blocking all of the cancerous neckbeards who never contribute anything meaningful.

They're some kind of shadow creatures, they harvest negative energy. Some call them demons, others call them archons (the gnostics), they're all ultimately just words that fail to explain the reality of the situation. You just conjure some image that fits your understanding, that probably isn't even remotely close to reality, and everyone has something to sell you. It's kinda pointless to speculate.

They're often described as "shadow people" the ones I often see . Not sure if you've ever gotten a good look but it's .

I'll be honest that I don't particularly give a fuck, certainly not enough to research it at length. The only thing that matters is that you're now aware there's more to reality and that you know the right path. It's the path of light and love. That's what you said works, right? There's reasons for that. It's the truth.

The rest doesn't really matter, or I guess I should say without any context one theory is just as believable as the next. People go nuts latching onto their favorite pet theory and chasing that rabbit hole their whole life, I'm not particularly interested in being one of them. It's one of those things you will only unravel through a deep, personal journey throughout your life. And damn is it a blessing.

You can go deeper within yourself or live in the surface level that 90% of the population seems content with. And if you choose the former just remember . We are everywhere. The more you reach out the more of your family you'll find.

See you space cowboy

It seemed to be more like a it hasn't been back since. It seems like just releasing fear in the moment is what gets it under control.

I've always had relatively strong psychic abilities. Less so now that I'm older and don't work on it but it's still there.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Yeah totally. Just sticking to the higher path. That's the only answer.

I get these so frequently now I don't even care anymore or even commit it to memory when it happens. Just part of the good fight.

You get the most flack when you're right over the target right?

Boy I wish I hadn't looked at those links...

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Right?

I am an Orthodox Christian and we believe that heaven and hell are states of mind. I've seen it in my personal life plenty. The demons people are tormented by are usually just representative of some internal struggle, whether they're religious or not. For example, an atheist fighting alcoholism and depression. And struggle can be a good thing. I know my struggles have made me a stronger person. It's what separates the boys from the men.

The demons people are scared of is really just the parts of themselves they don't want to see. The cancer that needs to be removed from the soul. Otherwise they would feel no fear.

It's important to always remain cognizant of that, otherwise that's when people fly off the deep end.

It's not the demons we're afraid of. It's ourselves.

Willing to bet they are real and conscious creatures called Jinns, which have been mentioned in many communities around the world https://youtu.be/b8DQWTts9vw

I remember the first time I saw Shadow People in my Room.

[–] • 0 pt

Shadow people are the ghosta of black people. Thats why they male you feel uneasy

[–] • 0 pt

Fortunately I haven't seen the shadow people but have a lot of sleep paralysis especially the "stronger" I become.

Do you have cat's or dog's? I'm wondering if they will help keep the sleep paralysis entities away.

Pro tip: don't eat any fruit it offers you

[–] • 1 pt

I've heard of the buzzing, but never experienced it myself. I've felt things touch me in sleep paralysis though. A "rat" once came up and started chewing and scratching on my wrist. The sensation was more like itching than the kind of pain you'd get from getting bit. There were no marks on me when I woke up later (I didn't think there would be, but I checked anyway).

[–] • 1 pt

The rat thing reminds me of a guy I know.. Says he has a dream where he was getting raped by a knife. He was a pervy weirdo type guy so it goes a long way explaining where such a sick dream would come from.

As some have said, call on the name of Jesus Christ; whatever is bothering you, they seem to really hate it.

Also, sorry to highjack the thread, OP, but I have a question for those who know about those phenomenons. I know it is called sleep paralysis, but are there some instence where you are able to move? I'm asking because I had a weird experience a couple of years ago. I was in bed and I just woke up; you know when you're half awake, half asleep. Suddently, I felt something pulling the covers from the bottom of my bed; iIt felt so real, like it usually is the case with sleep paralysis. But this time, I sat up in my bed instanly. I even try to ask who was there but only gibberish came out of my mouth. So, if I'm not supposed to be able to move, it probably was not sleep paralysis. Then what the fuck was pulling my cover??!!

It sounds like you had sleep paralysis, fren. Nothing but mumbling comes out when you go to yell or even utter a word like "no". It's a strange state to be in especially when you feel like goblins are surrounding you lol.

I understand that, but is it normal that I could move at all, let alone sit up in my bed?

Was camping out in desert area while on construction job as welder. One night I was woken by sound of something or someone near my van. Like someone had crunched feet in the sand. It got closer and I tried to shout out, move or anything to scare it away. I was paralyzed totally. More scrunching and closer. I kept trying to shout but finally got out something ike a low moan rather than a shout. The sounds stopped but I didn't hear whatever it was go away. I must have laid awake for half an hour just listening. Next day I couldn't see any tracks which to me was very disturbing. I moved my campsite and that weekend I took a motel room in town.

Happened a few times to me, always whispers, always shadows. Typically I brake out by convincing myself I need a piss, then I burst up and it quickly turns quiet.

Ingrain this into your mind and tell people who you know:

Wiggle your toes to get out of any sleep paralysis

[–] • 0 pt

Turning my head works really well for me

[–] • 0 pt

I've heard the toe wiggle works. I usually try rolling over sideways or twitching a sudden movement out. It's freaky stuff not being able to move.

I tense up my hole body. Takes a bit but works.
