II am 24 year old, I just want an understanding of it all, and it's been in the back of my mind ever since it happened. This happened two years ago, when I went to my partner's parent¡¯s house to meet them for the first time. We were in bed together sleeping, I had a dream, which started very tribal like, with bonfires and dancing, I was with a group people, and I didn't know any of them. We were frightened and running away from something unknown, trying to find shelter or a place to evade this thing, we came across an abandon house. There was this room I walked passed inside the house, I stopped to look in because there was light coming from a fire gleaming out the doorway. It looked like a bathroom, very dirty and run down, my grandma (which had a stroke awhile back, paralyzed left side of her body and now living in a nursing home) was kneeled down muttering words in front of the fire and I went up to her because I couldn't make out what she was saying, she looked up at me and her face began to dissolve into black, her mouth opened up and jumped at me.
I thought I have woken up because I was in the room with my partner. I wanted to move closer and cuddle for some confront, but I realize I couldn't move I was paralyzed. I looked down at my toes because I felt something crawling up my body and I saw this creature from my dream, face black and glistening in the moonlight had either multiple tentacles or tongues coming out from its mouth, I couldn't tell it was dark.
I remember using my willpower telling my arms to move, saying over and over in my head move please move then finally my arms and hands were free, using hands I kept pushing the creatures head down preventing from reaching my face.
I panicked, I tried screaming for help because I saw my partner lying there still sleeping, not noticing anything that was going on but I kept struggling to talk, my throat felt constrained I had trouble making any speech. I saw my partner turn over telling me to shut up because I erratically woke up my partner and he may have thought I was playing a prank. I told my partner what happen. My partner didn't say anything to me instead got off the bed went and turned on the light, crawled back in and said I had a dream also I was being attacked as well, by a shadowed figure. So we pretty much slept with the light on, but nothing happen for the rest of the week we were there. The location was in Sarnia, Ontario, I know there is a native reserve nearby, and could there be a connection?
Please let me know what you think, and this isn't the first time I woken up paralyzed with entities in the room with me and not able to move or talk, or is it just multiple cases of sleep paralysis, because I find comfort in that knowing it¡¯s not real, but I am an Asian decent, and when something like that happens to you we call it gu¨" y¨¡ chu¨¢ng which translate into "ghost pressing on body".
Thanks for reading.
Im just not too sure if sleep paralysis can occur when you're wide awake (as in you can see etc and think) but not move/speak. This brings me to my next point- your idea of willpower was the right way to go about this. When I got attacked... Since I culdn't fight this creature which was crawling up my body I began fighting it with my mind. Since I have a really strong faith in god, that helped me very quickly.
But don't get too worried about it. It can happen to anyone... It does imprint on people in some ways... But that's life. There are spirits always around us... Some good and some bad. Their vicitms are the weak ones. So be strong... And beat em'all:)
