Sleep paralysis demon

[CrimpJiggler]

I've been looking up different theories on sleep paralysis and theres a pretty funny one involving a little demon man that sits on your chest or back while you're in sleep paralysis. Heres some pictures: EDIT: Ah shit I can't post pictures yet, look up sleep paralysis demon on google pictures and you'll see loads of them. notice the horse in 2 of those pictures. I just read a comment by an Algerian guy who says in his country they call sleep paralysis "donkey of the night" lol. I sleep on my side so nothing sits on me but I always feel stuff behind me. If its this little sleep paralysis demon, he really seems to like me for some reason. He gives me back massages and even hugs me sometimes. In return I usually try to strangle him or get him in a headlock lol. Anyone here feel things sitting on them when they're in SP? Might be this little red bastard. Hes actually pretty friendly once you get to know him.

I think I saw a Tv show on the subject once. There was a demon thing that sits on people's chests and starts to suffocate them. I think it was called 'Night-Hag Syndrome' or something. Interesting stuff but really crap for people who suffer with it regularly.

It's called hypnagogic hallucination, and a horse or figure was once one of the most common forms. These days people often see tarantulas and weird stuff like that but mostly dark figures. Your mind is running on some good shit when it decides to kick paralysis in.

I've heard of all sorts of HH, I'm glad mine isn't bad at all.

Heh I see gnats sometimes, like watching grainy television. That's all I get.

Your mind is running on some good shit when it decides to kick paralysis in. If it happens before you fall asleep its hypnagogic, if you wake up in paralysis, their called hypnapompic hallucinations. I wonder why they saw a donkey in the old days lol. I never see anything.

Its just their culture, here everyone thinks its a dead person because of culture, some others are into aliens so thats what they see of course. I would totally like a demon though... sounds fun.

A couple of months ago I had the hallucination of a demon sitting on my chest and then screaming into my face. I even felt is warm breath :O But inside me I just was fascinated like "I can't believe this is still sp!"
