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.

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 look like this (pic8.co). Not sure if you've ever gotten a good look but it's commonly reported (shadowpeople.org).

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 your families always got your back (youtu.be). We are everywhere. The more you reach out the more of your family you'll find.

See you space cowboy

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

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

It seemed to be more like a djinn (google.com) 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?

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

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.

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.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt (edited )

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.

Here's my earlier post on the subject. 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.

At my old home that I grew up in, when I came home at night I always felt like a beast or being was rushing after me. Spirits/Demons, man. Not cool stuff.

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

Wiggle your toes to get out of any sleep paralysis

[–] • 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.

"Sleep paralysis" is just a term some scientist cooked up. It explains nothing. It changes nothing. The experience is real.

[–] • 0 pt

It's real as fuck. You're literally paralyzed while half asleep but awake and fully aware. Lucky you if it's never happened to you.

Okay Quixote, you got me. The experience is "" "" real"" "" lmfao

that thing was touching me now

Oh, Anticlutch is your neighbor, huh

[–] • 1 pt

Happens to me a lot.

Recently I got a message letting me know I was up against strong adversary's and to focus on getting myself in the proper headspace.

The more I meditate, exercise, eat well, etc. And get spiritually/mentally/physically stronger the more I get fucked with in the dream realm.

I'm thinking of getting a cat or a dog for protection.
