      Exclamation What's going on??

      Hello everyone! It's nice to be back... I need some help, this particular event has never happened to me before, and I'm somewhat bewildered.

      I currently sleep in a shared house with my boyfriend. I've been having some pretty bad nightmares lately, both that depict emotional and physical distress in unrealistic circumstances. They are normally usually pretty random scenarios, but I wake up either terrified or in great grief. My boyfriend told me that he has woke up to me talking to someone and pointing at the ceiling occasionally when I'm dead asleep. Last night, I was really tired so I turned the movie we were watching off and tried to go to bed. I was VERY tired mind you, but I couldn't seem to drift off into a peaceful bliss like I'd hoped. I felt uneasy, things were falling on the ground and every time I shut my eyes, I saw an unpleasant distorted face, or I heard creepy growls in my head, etc... I figured I was just tired and hearing things.

      I eventually fell asleep, I'm not sure what time it was but I got jolted awake and my eyes were open, staring directly above my boyfriend where I saw some sort of clear energy vortex buzzing around the room. I saw a black figure crawl out of him and run away right when I made visual contact with it. He moaned and I rubbed his back to try to wake him but he was dead asleep. I told him about it today and said it's ironic because he told me he was having horrible, messed up dreams that night. He's a tough macho dude, so him admitting he had a nightmare to me meant it was more than just a "bad dream".

      The only thing I can assume is that it's a demonic force feeding on our strong feelings in our nightmares so that it can manifest and cause problems.
      I would like to know your guys' opinions and know more about what's going on. I've seen shadows in daylight, been attacked in sleep paralysis, seen/heard many things in my room and had a successful OBE once, so I'm pretty sure what I saw was not my imagination that night.

      Let me know your thoughts.

      I can only comment on few things.

      The distorted face - I do get this very often when I WILD, it's one of my most frequent HH. Also skulls and other creepy faces. My friend also mentioned skulls and I think I have read someone here mentioning faces. So this could be a common type of hypnagogic hallucination.

      It's possible to "wake up" and see things. You may think that you are awake, when in fact you are asleep. It is a dream that you see, but it may feel very real, because you feel like you see it with your eyes. When I get this also when WILDing, I suddenly realize I can see my room with my closed eyes. But not just my room, so it's most likely a dream.

      Do you guys watch scary stuff before bed? If something has a big impact on you before bed, it's quite likely to reflect in your dream.

      Once I woke up and saw aliens around my bed doing all kinds of things. I struggled to move or scream, but couldn't. Later I learned I was in sleep paralysis. SP is associated with scary images that you see and especially ones, that feel threatening to you.

      I'm not saying what happened to you was any of this, but it's a food for thought. Good luck.

      In my experience, all apartments and houses that have had other people living in them have creepy stuff like that. But its got a lot to do with you and him and your thoughts also, the 'demons' are at least to some extent your own demons, even if there's a supernatural aspect to them also. So I think if you approach it from a common-sense psychological standpoint that works fairly well. If either of you is doing unhealthy stuff like getting drunk or using drugs or indulging anger or getting drawn into porn or violent video games or whatever, all of that will tie into the problem. I'm not even suggesting you should stop doing that stuff - everybody has to do what its their nature to do - I'm just saying that its all connected.

      There's so many different perspectives to look at things like this, the one I prefer would be somewhat woo-woo but maybe it is of help to you

      I believe there are earthbound beings, some call them the reptilians, jins, demons etc and from the research I've been into, they are basically an offshoot of the "greys" an alien race. Their behavior is from an objective point of view simply 'lack of empathy'. They don't really have a negative agenda by themselves but because we humans are so polarized, we easily interpret their energy as negative. Simply because of the lack of empathy. When you come in contact with a being of this energy you quickly connect it to the metaphors of your beliefs. You create scenarios depending on your subconcious defenitions of the type of energy(lack of empathy). So, it is you that define the energy as negative and that it wants to harm you. If you simply redefine the energy by not being afraid or let it have any affect on you, you will not experience it because you would lack definitions for such energy. Now, that is harder than it sounds, I would meditate on it

      None of this is fact or anything, you do whatever you want with it, you asked for my opinion

      Thank you everyone who took the time to reply to my post. I find something true and enlightening from each of your replies to me. I am looking at the situation much differently now, not with fear or bad feelings like before. Everyone's afraid of the unknown, right?
      Last night I meditated and visualized a bright light of protection filling the room and I slept like a baby.

      These distorted faces and demons are just simple patterns and your mind makes something out of it that most resembles it. Are you scared or fearful of a certain something? That might be causing it.

      They can happens as simple patterns when early in the HH, when all you see is this swirling fog, and you see in this fog, how it sometimes resembles some items. Like when you look at clouds and you see things in them.

      But for me, faces happen later on too. When they are well defined, only image in my field of view, no fog around them. Just a face. Not something, that just resembles a face. Maybe this is what OP was talking about.
