First of all I would like to start by clearing up this whole “demonic presents” theory tha everyone is talking about, most of your arguments that are pro-demons sound like “what else could it be?” Or “I swear I saw and felt the demon” or “If everybody has the same demonic story then it must be demons”. Let me tell you that is the most obsurd, repulsive, and ignorant excuse I’ve ever heard. I’ve been hasing sleep paralysis over 5 times a month either because I purposly to it for lucid dreaming or because it involuntarily happens, I have experienced the presents of “demonic being” but that doesn’t mean they exist. When your hallucinating in SP you need to understand that you brain is naturally releasing DMT this is the strongest hallucinogenic (spelling is wrong) known to man, DMT Is also a drug that I have well experienced with and can tell you its very similar to sleep paralysis. When SP Occurs you instantly go into a state of shock there is no way to right off the bat tame yourself from being awake and having no control of your body. The brains first reaction is heavy fear for the instinct of any animal is fight or flight in death defying moments and so you become in a “fight” mode for your unwillingly frustrated and confused, ontop of this your experiencing the strongest possible hallucinations as they are rapid changing like a dream is, because your dreaming. The presents of a demonic figure is out of the question as that is your brain attempting to conseal the situation wich is impossible since you cannot move your in consistant panic, the hearing also plays a major role and your hearing become strongly impared during sleep it can either be very sensitive or def, either way your inner voice will be amplified to screaming points and that can induse more fear. Please stop thinking that demons control this, it is simply lucid open eye dreaming (very very scary ) infact, if you were to film your dream in some form of a brain memory playback moduol and you were able to watchb your dreams I can garuntee that every single person would be scared off their asses by the time the 5 minute dream burst is over, there’s a reason your brain goes unconsious while dreaming its too prevent you from heartattacks (lucid dreaming alters your dream into a peaceful realm)

I have been experiencing sleep paralysis ever since I was a child. I am now in my Twenty’s n still experience it. I feel pain in certain parts of my body. There are times when I felt that Iv woken up just to realize that I am still in the state of paralysis. There are times when Ive felt a presence in my room. But there is one thing I have noticed. SP takes place only when I sleep alone in my room. If there is one or more person sleeping in the same room or sharing the same bed with me, I have a peaceful sleep.
When it had just started, I was terrified. But as time has passed by, I have gradually started to take control by doing my best to stay calm and take the name of Jesus in the process to help me. The only way to overcome it is face it and stay calm. Whether health factor or demonic presence, the best way is not being scared. As mentioned earlier by personal experience, having your loved one, friend or family member in the room to sleep near you is also helpful. God bless all. Stay strong!

I used to have SP on what seemed like a nightly basis when I was a child, and I had all but forgotten about it until it started up again last week. I’ve had a couple of episodes in this last week, and the first one terrified me. It wasn’t until after it was finished that I remember that I used to experience them when I was a kid. I’m not religious by any means, and I can’t help but laugh at all the demon and spirit talk, but it does “feel” like something is in the room, and I get that prickly “oh shit” sensation. The second time it happened this week, I literally started laughing (mostly in my mind because I couldn’t really talk lol). Now I am reading this all of these posts, I’m becoming genuinely curious about what you said about the relationship between SP and lucid dreaming. I am rarely able to dream lucidly, but I have a great time when I do Are you able to induce SP, or do you just wait for it and ride the wave? If you have any insight, feel free to email me at the address I left. Thanks Admin

I’m not really sure what you are getting at here. Maybe you could elaborate?

Glad to hear about your experiences with SP, although they sound rather negative. First off, let me say that SP should not be feared even if it seems extremely frightening at times. Nobody has ever died from SP (at least no records I can find show this). So don’t be afraid of it.

I am not sure if during SP you really believe that there are “old hags” actually in your room or that they are only hallucinations. It sounds like you’ve done some reading on some other websites and believe this to be true (correct me if I’m wrong). To me, this approach can cause more problems because the apparitions you see while experiencing SP are completely subjective and just figments of your imagination. If you focus hard enough you can actually change that “old hag” into a lovely young woman who means no harm. Try to do this and let me know how it goes.

An there the good part our guardian angel who you dont usally see because that part of our mind is at rest, we get woke up from usally dieing or getten killed in our dream before goen into sp so the only part of ur mind that wakes up in defense impulse. the left side is the evel part with evel comes its restrant the old hag being evel an the shadow man being her retrant with out him holding us down the evel will take over an we would go do some crazy horrible shit basicly like ur possesed untell u snap out of it, the old hag is who u should be scared of the shadow man is jus doen his job trust me ive been in sp state before i got held down it was scary i jus started remembering what happened luckly I snaped out of it jus at the right time or shit woulda been bad I kept getten up from lucid dreams trying to avoid sp an i guess she hooked on to me one time when i got up i was found running into my dads room after some crazy shit happend not knowing what happend or how i got there. if u have any questions, need help or can help me please contact me thanks peace

I guess more sufferers would tend to believe the video. Being a sufferer myself, there really is no comfort with the scientific facts since they really don’t EXPLAIN anything. I’m sure a lot of us are searching for the truth.. the real reason behind this horrific events. How can science explain the sights.. the experiences ? the feeling? We all want answers. And we want skeptics to stop thinking that we’re crazy when we just can’t settle with the scientific facts.

I have been experiencing what you would call HSP since i was about 6 years old. It was terrifying then and 39 years later it is sometimes still terrifying. It occurs for me sleeping on my back or stomach or side and even sitting up… (explain that, since everything i have read claims that it will not occur on your stomach and doesnt address the other positions) I dont only get the “held down” sensation, but i also experience a pushed out of bed or off a chair sensation as well as sometimes i am awakened with a very loud banging on my door( 3 or 4 knocks, thats it) … (when i had a doorbell, it was my doorbell ringing, 3 -4 rings thats it) and no one is there…. what do the studies have to say about the pushing, knocking and ringing? I bet they do not have an answer any of that…..

Ok first of all im not christian but I do believe there’s a God. I also believe there’s a devil. Why do you say there’s no such things as demons? How do you explain the peoples stories of seeing scary creatures? I mean come on why do they all talk about basically the same scenarios where they see a creature? Ok so you make fun of the author of the video but if science is sooo smart how come we don’t have an eexplanation for something as simple as the human soul? I for one believe that SP really is caused by demons, I mean there simply cant be a scientific explanation for something like it

You should try embracing it, remembering at all times that the apparitions you see are not real. Once you overcome your fear of it (as hard as that may be) you will learn to control what you experience and create a positive situation. It takes time but it is well worth the effort. Good luck!
