people experience this while awake
and this cant be blamed on sleep paralysis
hypnagogic hallucinations
that is still blame on sleep paralysis, but i only encounter them while fully lucid, i know when im in sleep paralysis and when im not
and now this gets interesting, shadow beings can kinda resemable the so called sucubis and incubis, i even experienced the sucubis without paralysis, i believe thats when im useing my astral arms to have a feel.
oh wait a min, yah i guess i was in sp when i was able to move, but enjoying it with my astral self
im tending to believe that the sucubis and shadow beings may be the one and the same.
Shadow man caught on film!
I have a shadowy man in my dreams
I've had a shadowy man in my dreams since as long as I can remember. I think it's me though, like my subconscious or something.... It's grown like I've grown, we are the same height and we even have the same hair. But he either has a calming nature about him or a malevolent one and sometimes his eyes are black, but sometimes they are white, and all he is is a dark figure of me, like an outline... no distinguished features, sometimes he's a streak of black and sometimes hes foggy, All I know is that he always walks beside me, and if my dreams are like a movie, and im not present in them, he ends up being seen by me anyways. I wonder if this is a shadow man? like a personal one...
Shadow beings are no friends of mine

These threads are old as hell but no matter. It's been about 15 years since my last encounter with a shadow being and that's just fine by me. It was the most terrifying experience of my life and as far as i'm concerned there is nothing good about them. I was lucid and it appeared beside my bed. The silhouette resembled a friend of mine. Instantly I knew it was not my friend and a split second later it was standing on my bed taking the form of a predator like the movies. It even made the sounds. I tried to get up and kill it with my bare hands but I was paralyzed. I've also had encounters with inorganic beings and would take the hot, shocking, firey feel of those any day. I thought these shadow beings were just another form or inorganics but i'm not so sure anymore. Glad to know others are experiencing similar things...
