So I have been thinking, though I have had quite a lot of lucids, I have never succeeded in WILD's nor have I ever experienced sleep paralysis. I HAVE heard my brother counting down "5..4..3..2..1.." in a really creepy voice when I was waking up and already had opened my eyes.That is the only kind of weird experience i had.

But what I am thinking about is, why do almost every person who enters/experience sleep paralysis sees or hears these evil entities, demons, etc.? whatever it is, it's almost always scary and frightens the hell out of somebody. Is it because of hearing stories from other people so that you just auto-suggested they would be there, or is just the 'normal' thing to happen with sleep paralysis? I mean why would your subconscious come up with all of these evil things? Why not a cute little pony? Is it because the fear, feeling you get when you experience the paralysis automatically creates these things linked to these emotions?

I would rather not ever experience this demonic entity standing next to my bed, but it just got me thinking reading some of the people's experiences on the forum.

Any thoughts?
