Comments for Attacks From A Demon?: Page 1

I am a sufferer of sleep paralysis and due to the fact I accept it for just that, I am able to overcome this condition and sleep comfortable in my bed... My most recent attack coincidently was the whole being choked and unable to breath business that lasted for some 30 to 40 seconds and yes, it is quite a frightening thing to experience... I could have gone down that I'm being attack by a demon road too, but I thank God I didn't...I took the experience as a warning to get myself into better shape as what I was really suffering from was sleep apnea, after exercising and loosing 10 kilo and eating a whole lot better I feel terrific... So I am gratefully appreciative that something with in my mind from more than one angle was able to work out the whole deal with the experience... I would say with you, your inner fears was probably the reason behind the attack.

Lots of people have this happen and there is a sure fire fix for it that you have already discovered if you will just learn to put on God's Armour, you will not have to worry about it. In many cases it is spiritual and requires a spiritual solution. Go to stopsleepparalysis.org and you can find out exactly. These folks have put in thousands of hours of research and worked with countless people who have had identical experiences. They do not speculate, they know what is going on and how to stop it. They have help many to find the solution.

I have to agree with Nysa. We get these experiences submitted quite regularly. Most people that take the time to research the phenomenon have come away with a better understanding of what they have experienced. They also find peace of mind in learning how common it is and the mechanics involved. Learning they have nothing to fear is much better than frightening people for no good cause.
There is a reason for the law that makes it a crime to scream "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.

But the thing is that sleep paralysis is a well understood phenomenon. Could it be the result of a spirit or demon? Sure, but it could also be a vampire or a brain tumor. Without other indications that there is nothing more to it, suggesting that there is, is the more irresponsible thing. That is like telling someone who noticed cars slowing down near them with no obvious reason twice in their life that they might be being stalked. Sure it's possible but with years between the two & no other signs of being stalked who would suggest that? Nobody reasonable. Trying to associate something normal with the supernatural undermines serious consideration of the supernatural. Just like crying that every person that drove past you "too slowly" would undermine your credidibilty.

I apologize for my grammer. I accidentaly clicked "publish" before correcting them 😠

I find it very interesting that people pretty much always assume that every sleep paralysis isn't paranormal and if someone even mentiones the other option he gets negative.WHY?How can anyone say that?Ok,it's a good thing to inform a person of such thing as a sleep paralysis occuring to most people without involving the paranormal. But no one should dissmis the possibility of sleep paralysis being caused by paranormal forces.
I'm the first to say that sleep paralysis might be just the begining of something much worse. I should know because that's how my paranormal experiences started, and it's still not over.Again,it's a good thing to inform people who are unaware of the "normal" aspect of SP, but you should NEVER tell people it's not caused by anything paranormal.Because,let's face it, no one knows for sure until nothing else happens... Or in my case, when it does.

Chellsie what you are describing is hypnogogic (or hypnopompic if it happens just before waking) hallucinations. Those often accompany sleep paralysis but it is the inability to move that is the actual sleep paralysis. Since both of this posters experiences were when she was away from home I would guess that being less comfortable than one is in their own bed was the biggest factor that led to the events. But there are always a million things in one's life that can contribute to it happening.

I agree with Missy and Devious on this. Sleep paralysis is characterized with various feelings of not being able to move one's body, a sinking feeling, the impression of having a weight press down on you, among other things. It can be scary not being able to move your body or catch your breath, but these are generally harmless phenomena which happen from time to time. I've had experiences where I've felt like I'm floating out of my own body, sinking into my bed, and not being able to move or cry out at all. Do speak to your doctor if you can and, if this happens again, tell yourself to relax and concentrate on gaining feeling back in your body. Above all, don't panic. 😊

Ive experienced sleep paralysis and I'm fairly sure that's not the case. I always thought sleep paralysis was hallucinating actual figures of some kind. Sorry if I'm wrong I have only experienced a few episodes. Interesting story though:)

I 100% agree with Devious. Not all sleep paralysis is paranormal and it is most often scary.
Consult your doctor.

This sounds a lot like sleep paralysis. You should look it up and ask your doctor about it. You can learn to avoid it by eliminating the factors that cause it from your life--excessive stress, plenty of sleep and exercise, and staying on a regular sleep pattern. Eating healthy and not too soon before bed also helps.
