Scary Sleep Paralysis OBE what the...

[Benitoitessence]

Sleep paralysis is often a false awakening. I have hallucinated, in sleep paralysis false awakenings since I was 12. Ive seen many dark things I wish I could share somewhere because I've had OBE and terrifying experiences I couldn't control. One night, not long ago I'd about had it. I had woke to a terrible feeling of an evil presence during a false awakening I was in my bedroom. everything was how it was when I fell asleep. I was completely aware I was OBE or whatever you want to call it because I've done it before and know what it feels like although I have had situations where I had one false awakening after another. In any event, I awoke to this burned black body figure grabbing my ankle trying to yank me off the bed. OMG it was so real and terrifying I could feel it's cold crispy skin and vividly remember it. I get so tired of being harassed I gave up being scared over the years. i remember feeling fight or flight but I was so done...so I just threw my dream comforter off and i lunged at this damn thing. i mean lunged at it in pure rage and MAJOR courage (i was scared) and went straight for its black crispy skull with hollow eyes and tried to dig my fingers in to grab it by the eye sockets. Just black hollow spots...Like how dare you f'g disturb me when I have to work tomorrow piece of sh**. It completely scurried away like a rodent right when I lunged. It was bigger than me. the size of a man. I just laid back on top of my body and woke up and went back to sleep . It's obvious what this "evil" thing was but I just get sick of being harassed so I quit being scared even though it's scary (double neg) My sleep is spiritual and sacred to me. I'd like to move past this and clear the negative space so I can dream in more peace. I've had false awakenings where no one is there too. I've wondered around my house and gone outside. everything looks and feels reel. I'm aware. How do you clear negative space to then enjoy the experience? Sometimes I think it's AP or OBE. I've had too many since I was a kid and I know someone here has to know something to give advice. I've already talked to a doctor a priest yada Yada years ago. I've gotten some answers but am I alone? I want to move past this. I found some other posts I can check out. I'm kinda embarrassed talking about it because it's so personal but I just want to know I'm not alone.

Add on...Okay, I read not to delve into "SP" a lot on this website because it's one of the most widely ranted about issues. I do apologize as I read the directions last. the reason I share is because I actually can get up and leave in this state. I will be paralyzed and have this numb connection to my sleeping body and then am able to consciously arise in the location I am in and leave. Sometimes I cant move, other times I can get up. i actually can chose to get up most of the time. I will only attempt if nothing is present. I have stood and watched myself sleeping. I was reading the info on SP resources on this website and I only saw some touches on SP transitioning to almost OBE or Lucid dreaming and then that it's a sleep Disorder...lovely. I know this is controversial but I was hoping the "Deep Dreaming" threads would offer an opportunity to gain more insight into delving into this experience in it's connection to LD although I know SP is unnecessary to take steps to achieve LD which I have experienced. It's just a different state. Any thoughts would be appreciated? Again I'm experiencing more than just SP alone. It's intense and quite fascinating. Maybe time to dust off that sleep analysis referral I've gotten but have set aside.

Where did you read not to delve into SP? That's weird. Someone else said that people argue about it a lot, but maybe that's recent. Anyway, how do you clear negative space? I personally like to do meditative energy work while awake to clear out any astral parasites or malevolent spirits in the area, and magickal rituals with sage and fresh air.

Have you ever heard of orgonite? It sounds like complete and utter bullshit, but after having plenty of weird experiences like the ones you describe, I'm pretty open minded to things like this. Supposedly it makes the environment unbearable to evil things from other dimensions. BTW its pretty cool that your violent assault worked. I always get this same sleep paralysis hallucination of things latched onto me, like arms around my neck, and things attached to my back, and I've tried attacking these things (I can hallucinate arm movement and strangle them) but they never react. They always disappear once I become mobile and start dreaming so I've never had the opportunity to really attack them like I want to, the closest I ever came was once when a dream started, and I could still feel something with its arms around my waist, I turned around as quick as I could and there was a little green lizard man thing that appeared to get a fright when I turned around and it vanished before I could attack it.

Thanks for feedback and your experiences. I researched the orgonite and read mixed info. In the early days I was paralyzed. I got sick of it so I'd fight back. There were times where something was touching me, gripping me, choking me (btw chocking like you mentioned is supposed to be significant), even rubbing my body (eww)...(completely pissed me off) over time but I'd be just so scared of the evil presence so I wouldn't move. I tried to attack the first time at a friends house sleeping this is when I ever finally fought and I screamed running down the hall from the bedroom towards this shadow screaming in rage, "I know who you are. I know who you are." All of a sudden I went into a lucid dream and there were 3 kids. The number 3 is often significant in many of my dreams. 3 wolves, 3 people etc. It was these boys and they said "let's play." They had swords and were stabbing me. I buckled in fear. I didn't want to play swords of course (creepy)...at that point I started praying to wake up. I woke up and felt defeated in the attempt to communicate but not emotionally or spiritually defeated. It's similar to what you said about your attack is reciprocated by departure of the uninvited. I got attacked back once for fighting. I was SP but being pinned by something when I slept on my side. The more I tried to move and fight the more it was pinning me. I felt violated. Over years Ended up transitioning to where if there's a shadow. I might see it but I tell it "your business is not with me it's elsewhere". They became more passive just pests visits in my sleep. At least 4-5 times I actually awoke not in a dream and would hallucinate a shadow standing near or across the room. Once I heard my baby crying at my house . I awoke of course like any mother bear and this small as a child shadow was approaching my bed. Slowly. I squinted couldn't believe my eyes but it was there. I held my eyes closed and it disappeared. Went to babies room sound asleep never a peep. When he was born, I was at my parents , where years before many many of my first experiences of sleep paralysis occurred. I awoke to a very tall shadow standing in the doorway facing my bed and my newborn. EEEEEERRY. Someone's going to say I have a sleep disorder...thanks but my childhood was where my lucid dreaming developed. I went from sleep paralysis with fear and terror, to being in more and more control of the SP , to being able to transfer this control to my dreams. I just hate the visits. I've developed more autonomy from that SP I want to check things out and see where I can go without unwanted company though in what I feel is similar to OBE. Maybe not but more realistic hallucinating. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I agree and have experienced similar so I thought I'd share more. Regards, may your dreams be your sacred space.

I love your, "How dare you f'ing disturb me when I have to work tomorrow piece of sh*t!" Lol. I'm pretty new to this but maybe this is all part of a fear test, that you have to get over to evolve.

I've had what I think is Sleep Paralysis (Suffocating, Paralyzed, Can't Talk or Call Out) many times, but i've never seen any evil or weird entities (only my room and relatives) or moved out of my body and walked around. Although i've never experienced it myself, it sounds like you may be experiencing AP or OBE. Although your experience sounds frightening it sounds very exciting as well. If you still frequently get SP or those OBEs/APs you should try to analyze something when you leave your body (preferably outside of your room, or wherever you're sleeping) and see if you can make the same distinctions when you awake. And then most importantly post the results! I would love to see how this turns out.

i dont know if you are religious or anything like that but if you want to get rid of the evil spirits that lurk around you when you experience OBE or SP or anything similar, all you have to do is pray for God to clense out the evil from your house and mind and keep evil spirits away from you before you go to sleep each night or every week, however much you think is neccessary. I used to have SP often and i would see dark shadowy scary figures on my bed with me and it scared me and so i prayed and they went away, now all my SPs are just interesting and fun and never evil. hope this helped also as a side note, if you ever get scared during an SP and wish to awaken &make the hallucianations go away all you have to do is with all your strength and mind move just your toes as much as you can and you will get sense back into ur body and break the paralysis.
