I kept my eyes closed feeling the up and down of something small and dark jumping on my bed. My heart was racing and I am sure my palms were sweating as they do when I become acutely fearful. I opened one eye and saw them. Three or four demons taking their turn jumping on my bed and then down and then back onto the bed again. And so it went. One was staring at my feet and was he tickling them or trying to? It never did occur to me how it was that my feet were available for tickling as I have always been very careful of keeping my feet under and tucked in with the sheet and comforter. As a child, this was a regular fear of mine - my feet being promiscuously available for goblins, spooks, and the boogeyman.
I shut my eyes closed tight and squinching to keep them tight as I could close them. “Oh dear God. I am scared. I am scared. Please make them go away. Dear God please make them go away. I am so scared. Help me please!” With almost a certain knowing, I opened an eye. They were gone. Almost a complete sigh of relief and thanks to God for taking care of that so quickly but then “Why am I still scared?” I was still completely frozen with fear. The dark bastards were just pretending to be gone. “They’ll come back,” I thought and so back to paralyzed fear I went and too scared to move.
No sooner than that thought than I saw a figure approaching from the foyer into my bedroom doorframe. I knew it to be Jesus the Christ - although he was heavily shadowed from the lack of anymore light than the light from the streetlamps outside that were reflecting through the blind slats and off the opposing wall. But it was him because I was comforted and I felt His strength.
He just stood there and I looked at his silhouette not very surprised he was there standing quietly. Maybe two heartbeats later, after it absorbed it was He who I was now dealing with, he made a deliberate motion with his finger and up to his lips as if to say “Shh” but no sound from Him came. In that instant a flood of feelings and thoughts permeated the who I was and I knew, then, a lifetime of me. Yes, it was He and no doubt.
In that instant I knew I was off my path and so very far removed from the where I wanted to be. He conveyed but not by speaking [telepathated I call it] some actions and behaviors I had been engaging in that - I would later deduce - had opened up an ability for these ugly dark “demons”/”gremlins” to attack/induce fear in/paralyze me.
But those goblins, gremlins or demons were still the only things I could keep my mind on. Here this man was - I have loved my entire life and promised to follow at age 5, but on that evening was so far from that age 5 innocence - standing in my doorway and fear was my pervasive emotion and the need to be free from it. “But I’m still scared,” I whispered to him desperately. And with that statement I knew that I was conveying that I was still too scared to go back to sleep, to be alone, to be okay without an interruption of my current emotional state….And the fact that He did what He did, told me he knew all these things as He whispered loudly, “Samsara!”
I whispered back, “What?” and sat up straight in bed, awake.
He was gone and so was the fear.
Assurances. I am not on any mind-altering chemicals - nor was I at the time of this incident. I am not drunk and haven’t had any alcohol in over 4 years - nor was I drunk during this incident. I do not suffer from any mental anomalies or personal or social disorders that would cause hallucinations.
After - Notes: The only notable difference that has my believing this to be an Astral, parallel or alternate dimension experience as opposed to a very vivid dream is my experience with dreams… In this experience, everything was the same when I had woken as when I was “asleep” but for one: My body was under the covers - feet included. I would later discover the term “Astral body” and understand that our Astral body goes further than our skin. (Which gives me no problem in believing that “entities” could have been tickling my feet.) Other than that, the light reflections were the same, the position of my body [on my back - which is unusual] was the same, and my room was the same “asleep” as “awake.”
Have you ever had demons in a dream? Were you convinced you were awake or did you suspect you were in “a parallel universe” or an astral realm? This heart-pounding, palm-sweating experience happened to me in 1995 or 1996; Over a decade ago either way. I encourage people to know that no matter what sort of weird dream or astral experience, they are not alone. Someone somewhere has had something similar happen.

Thanks for this. I’ve been on the fence about posting some info about astral on my own blog. I was hesitating for all the things you talked about. I still haven’t decided, but I might point toward this post if I do.
February 6th, 2007 at 8:10 am
Look to me for the poster child of sound mind? Aah So. :)
You know what? I had said at one time, Never. Then with the re-awakening of my “whatever” and this world coming more into focus in current day…With the knowledge now I am HSP…with the knowledge that others are HSP…I felt that my ego of “mental sanity” wouldn’t be served if I kept my mouth shut anymore vis a vis: Helping people who may feel alone or pretending this doesn’t happen to me.
I encourage you to think deliberately before posting “this part of your life” only because there is a potential for backlash. Ask yourself, “Can I spiritually handle any backlash?” versus what your motive would be. [To help others? To share your story out in the open for yourself? To keep a logged reminder to notice any patterns?]
If I can be of any service or help at all, I would do anything I could to help should you want to venture into this area. [Blogroll you Gangsta style? Offer a certificate of mental health and so forth…] LoL
Love & Light Friend. Thanks for your comments & thoughts.
Namaste,

I find it fascinating how experiences in our dreams can reassure and even help mold our beliefs related to other realities and “presences” within that realm and ours.

I had a very similar dream regarding a small creature recently. I was lying in bed half awake and half asleep when I felt what I believed to be our cat jump on my bed and begin batting at my right foot. I thought that I would gently push her off the bed but was afraid that I would wake myself up too much, so I just let her have her fun. Shortly after I heard her jump to the floor and scamper off…well, I could not get entirely to sleep, so I got out of bed to get a glass of water in the bathroom, being careful not to let the car out of the bedroom by closing the door quickly behind me. I turned on the bathroom light only to find the cat asleep on the bathroom floor….so….what the hell was in the bedroom smacking my feet???? I am 40 years old so this was no childhood make believe. When I read this account, I believe I found my answer.

Your “testimony” should provide guidance to those who are suffering from similar nightmare experiences. They should know that if they simply call on Jesus, then He will come to help and to deliver. Have you ever thought about the fact that you called on God to help; yet, it was Jesus who appeared to you?
You see, Jesus knows His sheep and He protects His sheep, and loves them with a love that exceeds our imaginations. Keep yourself from doing things that cause you problems later. These evil spirits are like termites and pests that find a weakness and exploit it. Keep your mind focused on goodness and righteousness.
Remember that “fear” is your enemy. Choose to sleep in comfort knowing that if anything messes with you, then all you have to do is call on Jesus. The intruders will flee everytime.

I have had such experiences for nearly seven years now. I am only twenty years old, so I attribute many of my first experiences to simple imagination.
My first one was probably the scariest. It was an attempt to kill me I think. It was a suffocation attempt. I had to mentally battle my way out of lockjaw to pronounce the word “…jesus…”
Since then I have learned many techniques to keep them at bay. I am glad to find people at long last who take this as a serious subject.
(I do not presume to tell you what to do, nor to give untested advice, so please
I tend to seek them in my sleep. I don’t do it on purpose, it’s almost an instinct. I just “know” that something is wrong in the nearby energy and I hunt down the source.
As long as I know who I am in Christ, they can do nothing. I am an adopted son of the Creator. They are outcasts, liars, thieves, and murderers. Set loose for a short time before they are punished for their deeds. I am protected and empowered over them because of my Lord and His Father.

Whoa. Look at this. This is one of those moments in life that you experience something and then find an amazing *coincidence* [synchronicity] that you will never forget.
March 14th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I’ve also had similar experiences, but have explained it as sleep paralysis.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Sleep paralysis is different than this one Tia. I have had sleep paralysis too. Sleep paralysis [scientific explanations non-exclusive] is how I explain it as such: When our bodies are still asleep but *we* have become awake.
I visualize it like our astral body has not gotten back to our body completely yet and we’re trying to. Have you ever tried screaming or yelling out during these episodes? I have. No good.
THIS, though similar in that I think my astral body *thought* it was in my physical body. Then the astral realm - or my manifestation of the astral or parallel realm occurred.
I don’t have all the answers and I am wary of folks who claim they do…but I *am* aware of my own experiences, as we all can be. So I feel fortunate in that I can differentiate between experiences that vary and not allow some “so-called pro” try to mitigate the meaning.
I hope we all take awat from our experiences exactly what we’re to take away from them and not allow others to detract from them. :)

Hi Samsara,
google “the old hag dream”
even wikipedia has something.
I had one of those dreams years ago, they are terrifying.
I told someone about it and they said……..oh….you had the old hag dream.
July 8th, 2008 at 1:44 am
Yes. I have hag dreams often or rather, used to. It’s when the astral body fails to reconnect with the physical one and then the feeling of paralysis settles in. Sometimes it feels like we’re choking or can’t breathe and definitely cannot scream.
This was different. Very much different. I could talk and breathe and scream if I needed to. I just did not need to. I was simply petrified from the demons jumping up and down on my bed.
My astral was still not connected to my physical or else when I woke I would have seen my feet above the covers, as they were when I was “asleep”. [But my astral feet wouldn’t be below the covers because of course our astral body extends well past several inches…some odd feet? from our physical.]
As for the hag. I first went through that after I began astral projecting. But then so often I was leaving my body that it would be natural I would experience disconnect. I know scientists have their theories but I feel my theories I guess.
I detest the hag experience. Literally there have been times I was convinced that something was choking me- prohibiting me from screaming and breathing. But…my theory is that it’s my astral body thinking it’s reconnected [but not really] and then discovers it cannot breathe or scream. [Well how can an astral body breathe or scream in the first place?] But me, thinking it’s really my body that cannot breathe - when clearly I am or else I would die - start to panic.
Inevitably I wake up.
What hag has in common with this one is that in both cases I am convinced my spiritual self was not connected to my physical. But in both cases, I do not realize this until I “wake up.”
Thanks for hangin’ out Alan! I’m finishing up a post and then I’m hitting the sack!

I have had many out-of-body experiences, lucid dreams, visionis, etc. I pray to God to take it away but they continue. Within these I, at times, have seen demons and angels. I have also seen beings that co-exist on a realm that is not ours. I have become rather reclusive. I’m a divorced mother with two beautiful children.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 am
Lynn, I was sharing with a friend just two days ago how I had to “bind” myself due to the same thing. I was drinking at the time and I was encountering scary elements in the astral realm. I was able to stop after praying to God.
When I got sober I lifted the binding and was able to experience good experiences again.
The one above happened before I’d binded myself and before I knew I was going to be constantly leaving my body.
I am very happy for your validation that confirms the existence of other beings who co-exist on a parallel realm. I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the experience of above.
Lynn, if you are not abusing your body or emotions or spirit, then maybe there is a reason you continue to have these visions and experiences? Perhaps you are so HSP, you are supposed to be a “link” from this world to the other?
I understand the reclusive nature of this because people would look at us like we were nuts. I would therefore suggest you try to contact other metaphysicals so you know you are not alone.
Because you’re not, dear heart. You are special.
Thank you for commenting.
Love, Samsara

I have a friend who has been experiencing increasingly morbid dreams, which she has out of discomfort decided to leave out too many details. They seem to all relate to her from an experience she had some time ago seeing the dead spirit and image of the parent of a friend of hers, but someone she head never met. This woman had been murdered, and my friend saw her in this state, sitting in the passenger seat of her car.
This was a couple years ago, and her and I constantly revolve conversation around what she has seen and experienced. This was actually how we met, I had encountered/seen spirits and demons, and could share what I believed.
We dated long distance over the summer from college, and ended the relationship over what we had viewed as “difference in personality.”
She began to date another guy, someone who doesn’t believe in an active spiritual realm, and he has continuously been trying to convince her that what she has seen/experienced is nothing. He is most definitely a firm believer in Jesus Christ, however.
Ever since around the time they began dating, she has been experiencing morbid dreams of the dead, mostly of her running through a field and seeing bodies hanging from the trees. As time has progressed, she believes that the dreams have become more vivid.
I personally believe that this is something that defines who she is, and that it’s something she should not allow someone else to convince her does not exist. She desires a serious personal relationship with God, but feels that these dreams are pulling her away, and that they must mean something.
It’s hard for me to be objective, being the ex, but I care about her. I also know that the devil has no access to our thoughts, which is why demons have to be verbally cast out/away, because they can’t hear our thoughts.
I just want to help her try and understand what she’s going through. It seems like every time she has an experience she is drawn to me instead of her new boyfriend. And that as much as she would like to rely on her own resources, she needs to rely on those around her, (in this case me), that understand what she is going through.
It seems to be that God may be telling her that ignoring what is going on is not the right thing to do, and that by continuing to do so is only making things worse.
Even though I’m sure this guy is a fantastic person, is it possible that God is telling her that although what he believes is true, what she knows is a greater truth only shown to us blessed few? That she should not be with someone to drag her down and pull her back from what she knows is true?
Is it possible that because we both had spiritual experiences of close resemblance that the devil or his demons had been working to pull us apart? As a possible threat to their means of action. This we had considered after breaking up and she had began to date this other person…when spiritual torment in her dreams had began to ensue.
It’s hard for me to be objective with her as far as how I feel about him. I just want another opinion and there aren’t many who understand.

Finding the right site…
I guess I am growing tired of the same old type of sites that have boring cams. They seem to have the same old ugly girl doing nothing and just taking money from everyone. I know a lot of people that have sites put up these affiliates and I do myself …
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:58 pm
It happens to me during sleep to attack me something, then I can not move, I can not open eyes, and not even say anything ….. I think they are a Witch …. I managed a couple of times to get started driving when I say to myself ‘Our Father who art in heaven ….’ Do you know maybe what it could be? help me….
February 3rd, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Wow. I believe this is a gift from God, today to stumble on to this website and read the wisdom. Thank you. Nice to have a name HSP for what I am/experience.
I figured out I had prophetic dreams a while ago, but I also experienced the demon presences as a child and as an adult. My son does too, and we founf the only thing that sends thm packing is calling on the name of Jesus. They really hate it. We take precautions now and pray Psalm 91 over our home, too.
At first, there were just dark shadows or figures, but eventually I saw one and SHEW-WEE they are nasty. Yes, they are scary, but…Jesus is bigger, and is a VERY present help in time of need. I don’t dismiss my son’s experiences as my parents did, as him “having a vivid imagination.” We PRAY. I can’t explain it, and I am comfortable with “I don’t know,” but there is power in it. Now, when my son feels “slimed” by something, I say, “OK…take a shower” and we pray it away.
That’s all I have to offer. Be blessed.

Just last night i had a very vivid dream that made me feel the fear that i used to experience as a child. I was sleeping in my living room and i had contact, with what seemed to be a demon. It tried to suck me into the closet ( like the dreams in my child hood ) Then i grabbed it and tossed it to the ground.
It was so fucking real. The only way i can describe it, is like in the movies. When the character has an encounter and then suddenly everything is back to normal.
That’s how my experience was. After i ” awoke ” from the dream, MY eyes were wide open and just staring into space…
I had to gather my thoughts quicklly, and the only thing that ran through my mind was ” Wait…is this still the dream or am i awake ” My eyes were open before i came into realization
February 22nd, 2010 at 10:06 pm
I’ve been dealing with this for several years. My Dad told me to read the Bible before I go to bed — and when I do thus, it never fails: I won’t have these. But what’s really strange, is that if I forget to do so, these things happen. I decided to search this out on the web because earlier this afternoon as I noticed that shift from thinking to sleeping, I heard an incredible voice. I knew it wasn’t mine because it was evil, and woman like. It wanted me to obsess over another male and think evil thoughts. It was disturbing. I was paralyzed at that point and tried to roll over. I always try to call out “Jesus” because that always helps. I knew there was a presence because it’s like an between of sleeping and being awake. Often, my eyes are closed but I am able to visualize everything in my room with heightened senses. I think that’s why you become noticeable of demons. I think they’re more around than we realize, but in that state our mind can truly sense them. Usually, I don’t hear anything speaking to me so that was odd.
I actually prefer sleeping in a room with someone because I hate being trapped and not having anyone there. I find it a comfort when God gives me people, but I can manage if I am alone. Sometimes I’ve had visions of the end of the world, the moon turning red, a strange old man walking around, people trying to kill me, destruction.
It’s very real. When I was in Florida on an internship, I had the dream where it comes over to you, in a black like veil. It was reaching for me, but there was another good like creature on top of me. The weird part isn’t any of that– my roommate at the time drew me a picture EXACTLY of what I just described without me even telling her. Even of the more complicated creature that sat on me that was like a cat, but with things floating off its head.
She saw it while being awake. I felt it in my sleep.
That’s really a tricky one for science to prove.
I also had one while on a mission trip in Kenya. There were four of them, usually just one. I think since it was such a strong spiritual battleground, they were trying to come after me. Someone was walking around at night and they had a different whitish color. I ended up finding out later that my friend April had in fact been walking around.
Take it seriously. But know they are just trying to scare you. It’s all they can do. Use God as a shield, Christ can save you he is real. Christ has authority over them.

I’m not trying to discredit anyone with what I’m about to say - I accepted a very long time ago that none of us know anything definitively and can only speculate about our condition and the condition of others.
I suffer from severe insomnia and have since I was a baby. I’ll stay awake literally for two days at a time worrying about inconsequential crap until my body finally gives in to exhaustion. I have no choice but to sedate myself now, because I’ve become completely incapable of falling asleep on my own - my mind won’t stop, and no matter what I’m thinking it will inevitably loop back to something that sends me into a panic.
Anyway.
A few years ago I decided that I was going to try to force myself to fall asleep without sedatives because I was tired of being dependent on them, when something absolutely awful and horrifying started happening to me - again and again and again. I’d wake up enough to view the room around me, but be almost completely paralyzed. I’d panic immediately because of the sensory overload - I’d hear loud static with indecipherable voices, and I’d see shadowy figures stalking around my room or even going so far as to touch me or sit on my chest. I’d feel fear like I’d never felt it before, and would try desperately to scream, only to quietly gurgle.
This drove me insane and only served to perpetuate my difficulties falling asleep, and so I started doing a bit of research. It wasn’t long before I came upon the term ’sleep-paralysis’.
When you sleep, your body slips into REM atonia, which protects you and every other dreaming thing from acting out the scenes in our dreams. Sleep paralysis occurs when you’re conscious, but still paralyzed. It’s a package that nearly always comes with extreme terror and hallucinations. It’s also loosely associated with the phenomenon of an ‘out of body experience’.
Since I’ve learned what it is scientifically as opposed to the idea that I’m somehow being paralyzed by the supernatural, I’ve only had a few episodes here and there (possibly because I went back to sedating myself for a night’s sleep), and none of them involved anything terrifying other than the feeling of fear itself.
In order to rouse myself from this state, I’ve learned to try not to panic because I know that it isn’t permanent. I focus on trying to move a single finger and put all of my energy into it. Once I’ve succeeded in moving that one finger, the rest of my body easily follows suit.
I’m definitely not trying to attribute every sleep episode to this condition, but I think that several supernatural night-time happenings can be easily explained scientifically.
On an unrelated note, I really like your site, Samsara. I’ve always wondered why I was so overcome with fear and pain so often and why I wanted so badly to take on the suffering of the world so that others don’t have to experience it, and now I think I may have found my answer. Thank you.

I have been haunted by a shadow man or spirit thing for a long time it seems as to be a demon i have seen in dreams and in some cases while awake or even when am in bed i could feel him watching me
in one case something was garbing at my feet while i was in bed just like you and i thought it was my cat but my cat in another room later that night i found out
so i believe it was that shadow maybe a demon trying to make contact with me i don’t know what to do it comes and goes i have been seeing it since i was 12 and am 21 now so your not alone we all see things like this sometimes and sometimes it reoccurs alot or never stops like in my case
May 19th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Just last night i had a dream that i was in a dark room with a man who was about to pray, but it seemed strange to me cause of his ritualistic behavior. He painted his face with black and red strips under each eye, right on the cheek bone as if he were about to go to war, when the man began to pray he kneeled before an alter and started to pray in the name of Legion. I knew this isn’t right, instant fear took over my body. over and over he said the word Legion. i felt a dark force almost breathing on my neck. i didn’t want to turn around and look over my shoulder but slowly i did. i started to see a face it was black. my body trembling
I woke up and started to pray in the name of jesus. I felt the presence of the holy spirit with me and the hairs on my whole body stood on end. i felt peace and was able to fall asleep again. i know in my heart that jesus is telling me to pray… and through grace he allows us to see these things so that we may share our testimony and get the word out JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT
May 21st, 2010 at 3:00 pm
You are welcome Noel! Thank you for the compliment. :)
I wanted to respond to this: “I’d hear loud static”
Yes! Perfect! Me too. Loud static or buzzing. Not in this particular case, but in cases that involve dark shapeless Spirits/Astral Bodies… I read somewhere in one of my Astral books that that buzzing/static is the crossing over.
As for the paralysis, yes. I have experienced that too and think anyone prone to AP has experienced it.
http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritualresearch/spiritualityandhealth/sleepparalysis/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis
I understand Science wants to dissect it down to hallucinations but is it an hallucination when we have on night vision and can see the bear that the one not wearing night vision goggles cannot see? Who “sees” the truth then? Isn’t it possible the bear is there but only one of us can see it due to a variety of factors?
I say this not to discount anyone’s beliefs but to offer food for thought and a little insight into *my* beliefs. :-)
July 1st, 2010 at 4:46 am
I’m also a toy of demons playfield. I’m seeking for some advice. Here is what happened (I just paste from my post from other forum) :
HELP!
Some demons started to manifest frequently now. It happened like 3 or 4 times. Not sure if it’s the same demon (or demons) but it likes to tickle my ears. Sometimes my tickle my ears, but mainly my EARS, lol.
Anyway, I think i’m in a sleep paralysis state, therefore this thread. But I wasn’t paralized totally, I could still move my hands. In a way, I think its manifestation made my spiritual force grows stronger. The more I frequent it, the more I’m immune, resist to it. I didn’t feel any fear at all, but it’s about annoying. Imagine someone tickle you when you are sleeping, either you will slap him or get anger.
So I can touch his hands (by hands I mean human hands, it doesn’t seem to be claws like demons) and think in my head “annoying, ****!”. But it continues of course. For a moment, I used all my will to get up, I think I’m about to astral travelling. But that b**** demon somehow hold me back like a magnetic field. So it draws me back and tickle my ears again.
After a moment, I get into dream state (dream, not astral travel). So I met theses demons (2 demons) that somehow get into my dream. They look exactly like humans so I supposed they are evil spirits, not demons. I asked them why did they do that. They said they are just doing their job and because there is a reason. After that there is a sequence of dream about seeking for god’s answer, meeting god’s assistant, etc… which is not important to talk about since I didn’t get a good answer anyway.
So guys, any idea how to get rid of demons?
Note: I have my own technique on how to wake up any moment, but the point is do I remember that technique in my dream/sleep paralysis/astral travel or not.
July 12th, 2010 at 6:33 am
Hi,
I’ve been having the same experiences. I had heard a week or so ago a voice that woke me up while my boyfriend was downstairs leaving for work (he does early mornings so it was 3amish) it was a loud “hwashsss s,s,s s,s,s” over and over again I sat up and listened and it went down stairs and in our lounge and when he left the house I heard it out side the door then gone. It was a whispering male voice to which I tried every possible excuse to explain it but couldn’t.
I started talking to my dad and his friend about it and that day we prayed for him and for me.
A particular part of our conversation which relates to my next experience was about other religions and rituals which re-enforces daemons. this lead to my dream and my experience last night.
So anyway my experience, I was having this dream where everyone was dressing up and I wasn’t included, some other stuff happened which was random dream thoughts, and then I found I had a brown bandanna on. I asked someone in my dream what it meant. They said it meant the earth for the ritual. In this point in my dream I remembered the conversation from that day and remembered how they described rituals as bad. In my dream I ripped off my bandanna, through it to the ground and said “NO!” as soon as I said this one of the figures in my dream turned to me and screamed silently and their face contorted into something scary! as soon as that happened i was in my bed and there was a loud growling sound like ravenous dogs fighting over a meal. seriously that’s the only was I can describe it. to top it off I could FEEL them going at my neck. at this time I yelled “Jesus save me” and “make them go” or something similar and they got louder and then it stopped and I woke up. I could also still feel my neck where they where.
I’m still scared but am confident God and Jesus saved me
however is it normal to “feel” the spirits trying to eat me? it was like they where angry they couldn’t get me

I just had a dream about 30 mins ago. Well it was a nightmare. I couldn’t move scream or wake up once I realized that I was awake. It was as if something wanted me to see these horrible images. Oh and the pain felt ever so real. I just have a feeling that this demon will continue to assault me. Help me please send me an email.

When i was about, 5-6 Years old.. I was laying in my bed in my old house. My room was complete emptiness, I woke up one night & remember it as if were yesterday, I got out of my bed to take my shirt off as i lifted the bottom of my shirt over my face, something caught my eye sitting in the corner of my room. First instinct.. My sister playing jokes on me. I called her name multiple times before i realized it wasn’t her. I jumped back into my bed and pulled my blankets over my face and was frozen in fear. I kept taking it off my face to glance at it and it was still there. In a fearful voice i called my sisters name one last time.. At that exact moment the “thing” stood up straight about 3 feet tall and was a complete shadow, equip with horns and all and opened its arms wide and bolted at me, When it reached me.. It felt as if i were dreaming.. In that dream the thing changed from a shadow to something very unreal and undescribable. In the dream it was, Tickling & treating me very well as if i were its child? Anyone ever had this happen?

Everything that has been said I have been experiencing for as long as I can remember. I have had sleep parylysis, docotrs said that I have halucinations durring sleep parylysis, and it just scares me because its not just that I cant move or really breathe or scream or anythinmg, but I feel like someone is holding me down and chocing me, my mom toldme that I used to wake up screaming that I’m on fire at the top of my lungs and that I would wake up praying over and over again, when I have my nightmare (which used to be almost every night, but has gone down to once or twice a week) everything is vivid and crystal clear, i’ve seen people i know with distorted faces laughin histarically and hurtin other people, the voices i hear i don’t even know how to describe them…one dream i had (im not sure if it was a dream or sleep paralysis tho, its hard for me to tell if i am awake or asleep sometimes anymore) iwas laying on my bed and i started shaking all over and i felt like my body and my brain was on fire and for some reason i said “why are you doing this to me? god said you cant harm me, why are you doing this, god said you need to stop, he said you cant do this” and then i started shaking uncontrollably and the pain was horrible, i was bending in ways i didnt evn know i cud, i started to bend my back off the bed and all i could see of him was i shadowed outlin then this voice said “i can do whatever i want” and i woke up sitting up and i ran outside (i was in a dorm) and was crying and praying like nothing, i have had so many different versions of these types of dreams since i was a kid, its always been tht voice and the shaking and the pain, the only way i have figured out to make the dreams go away quicker and with less shaking and pain is to pray and to mean evrysingle word, if i dont put enough meaning behind the praayer thn the pain and shaking gets soo much worse, i cant think of why any of this has happened, im not always asleep tho when this sorta of stuff happens, its just soooo much worse durring my sleep or when i think i am asleep. I wanna know if anyone has ever died and wednt to hell and came back (you know how people die and see a white tunnel and go to heaven and come back), well…i was a stupid kid who made stupid decisions and was a horrible person, i had a drug over dose about 2 years ago and i still cant think about what i saw or felt still, but it was like i had an out of body experience in hell, because what i saw and felt was unimaginable to anyone or anything, but my friends that were with me said that i was screaming and praying over and over again, i jusst wanna know whats going on with me and what can i do about it…

Hello,
About a month ago, I had an extremely scary experience at my older sisters apartment. I’m not a child, I’m a 26 yr old female. I was not under the influence of anything either, I just wanted to set the record straight.
My older sister and two little nephews had gone to bed, they are 2 & 4 years old. I stayed in the living room laying on the couch, where I was going to sleep for the night.
I remember laying there, Tv was off and a night light was on. I was just thinking random thoughts, trying to fall asleep. At some point I drifted off but, I was in a state where I was between sleeping and being awake. Mentaly I thought I was still awake.
From where I lay I can visualize the room I was in. I was looking down a hallway towards the bedrooms. I then see a toddler crawling down the hallway towards me. (I think it is my 2yr old nephew). I call out to him, “Cameron, what are you doing awake?” I get no response. This baby is crawling towards me, I can’t see his face yet but he starts moving faster towards me. His head starts to sway left and right. As he got closer and his head swayed to the left, I got a glimpse of a very evil face. I was paralyzed with fear! He was crawling fast towards me. At this point I’m sitting up. His evil face gets inches away from my face! I kick at this evil baby and yell “God! Please Help Me!” At that moment I woke up! I was sitting up and my leg was still kicking at the air. I begin to cry and pray!
I tear up just telling this story.
That same night… I fall back asleep and I had the most amazingly comforting dream! I dreamt that I was in heaven! I remember feeling this power so strong! I felt Gods presence all around me and he gave me the gift of wings. He made me an Angel! I was surrounded by my family and felt so very loved!
Thats my story…. I’m sure it probably sounds crazy but this truly did happen! I’m interested in hearing comments or opinions about this experience. For me this experience leads me to believe that God is very much real and when you need him, he will be there for you! I feel like I was under attack by a demond that night and God saved me!

I just came by this website by accident, researching reccuring and prophetic dreams. After reading all these replies, I decided to post my experience that is still so fresh in my mind even though it has been about 20 years now. My mom was freaked out but said I was sleeping even though I remember being widely awake.
I was about 7-8 years old, pretty young, and my mom used to make me go for naps during the summer days. One of these days, in the afternoon, I was told to go for a nap. We had dark blue curtains that blocked most of the light but it was still quite visiblel. I remember the bed was by the door, with head againt the wall and door by the feet. I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep and just lay still in general (being a very energetic kid that was usually hard). I heard some chattering, and when I looked over to the blue curtain, I saw 5 figures, maybe 5″ tall each, if that, and they had their pointy ears sticking out and were chubby and looked like little monsters. They were strangely dressed in happy and many colors. It looked like they had instruments and even though there was no music, just their incoherrent chattering, it looked like they were pretending to play the instruments for my entertainment. While at first I was just curious and kept looking at them, soon enough I started being afraid as I realized their faces were grimasing something very evil. As I watched them and they kept staring at me, I kept very slowly moving towards the end of my bed and to the door so I could open it and call for my mom. I was trying really hard not to make any sudden moves. As I came closer to the door, they became louder and suddently they all jumped at me and were all over me. I managed to call for my mom but not very loudly before they consumed me. Next thing I knew my mom rushed in the room (which was weird since I would call her usually during my naps as I would be bored and she would never come as she would know I was trying to say I already had a nap so I could get up and go play! but she heard me this time for some reason) and she was shaking me. They were gone. My whole body was numb, I couldn’t move a finger and had that sensation when you sleep on your arm and it goes numb over my whole body. My mom immediately started masaging my body and it slowly came back.
I never again had anything like that happen to my and I’m hoping somebody can tell me what that was. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! I wasn’t brought up to believe in god but do believe in supernatural and god and many other things. There are a lot of unexplaned mysteries in the world. I did my research but never found an experience like mine.
thank you in advance!

I am 21 male, currently residing in the state of GA. I grew up in a christian family, and I use to get night terrors as a chilld, my father taught me of the power of Christ. His love and His compassion, for us as individuals. I tell you these things so that you might uderstand how I felt during my own expieriences.
I’d say about a year ago I had my first encounter so to speak. Up to this point I didn’t have many dreams I could remember, and rarely remembered my nightmares. I reached a point in my life where I was thinking about how different the Christian lifestyle was from the rest of the world’s, just in general, about how different religions and beliefs, were similar with major differences and how most people believe them to be all the same, with changes to the name of their deities.
I was dreaming I went to a party with a few close friends, and the party lasted long enough that there were only a handful of people left at their house. One of which was his wife’s best friend, a neighbor, myself and of course the owners of the house. Throughout the night I observed the behavior of individuals at this party. When it came to my attention that I was being watched as well. I’m young and was determined to fun the right way. So I had a few drinks, lots of laughs, lots of discussion, a little dancing. When my friends wife came to me asking me about her closest friend I answered in honesty, “she’s pretty, but she isn’t for me”. It perplexed her but I think she understood later that evening I was too drunk to be drive, and the circumstance seemed to be universal throughout the patrons. But most could walk home and they did with guidance of family and friends that were sober, or ‘not as drunk’. In any case, I was to bunk in the spare bedroom, with the same ‘friend’ that was mentioned earlier. I inquired about the couch. found it lacking and calimed it as my spot for the night. It was only right, even in my drunken state I’d knew, that situation would only bring about trouble. Brief exchange with the women took place, and I claimed that it was not right for me to sleep in the same bed as her, and since there was only one spare bed, I’d settle on the couch. Perplexed the married couple went to bed. The house settled down and I went to sleep in my dream, which it seemed shortly there after was interrupted by this woman seeking a companion that was not to be had. She was already nude, which was strikingly alarming, since I’d refused thrice. She assumed I was just too shy to go that far, and was as her motto she knew what men really wanted. This fun dream quickly took a nose dive, and when I awoke I couldn’t breathe for being someone so small, looking to be about 110lbs, she weighed a ton. As I came from dream to reality I could push her off in the dream. And realized I was pushing at air in reality, and still unable to breathe. I struggled with this weight on my chest crushing me, so i rolled out from under it, as you would if something heavy fell and pinned you. when I rolled I felt a cold air rush into my lungs. The greatest feeling of relief, washed over me, but I was still on high alert. My mind was going a hundred miles an hour and I had no idea why that dream was so real. As I gathered my wits and soaked in my surroundings I noticed that I was drenched through and through with a cold sweat, and to add to my alarm. there was a shadow standing in the middle of the room. Not in a corner, not against the wall, and you can’t say it was street lights because there are no street lights where I am at. I lifted my head, only to banish any thought of normal-ness. The shadow didn’t move when I moved. As a shadow created by light wood. After I realized this, I studied the shadow briefly mind you, but prolific training kicked in and I notuced the shadow was about 5′4″ of incalcuable weight, cause you can’t judge the weight of a shadow. It looked like a mix between an extremely anorexic female, a skeleton, and plain out darkness. It looked to be wearing a grin of anger on its face, the only type of anger you see when someone is looking for a bloody revenge to something as innocent as someone else getting selected to have a lolipop.
I laid awake for a minute or two, not sure what to make of the situation when I rolled away from the shadow, and muttered somewhat to my own astonishment, “just leave me alone”. when I rolled back over to get the light. The shadow was gone, but I still hit the light, and still got up to take a warm shower, drink some water, and change into dry clothes. I went back to sleep, and without incident.

Sounds like an astral realm issue Rachel! This is when our bodies [awareness of our bodies] are in the physical realm [while we notice this realm still] yet it’s superimposed by an alternate [parallel?] universe.
Since this article I’ve had several similar experiences: sleep paralysis with scary [demonic?] forces or being in a hypnagogic state when I hear a doorbell or feel a movement around me though no one is there.
I understand the fear of being pulled into hell. Our bodies [personalities] have fear of losing itself [its ego] so when we anticipate an unknown force in our part body/part spirit state… our bodies minds are naturally inclined to think “Oh my god this is scary and I’m in trouble.”
And you are. Your ego [brain] may very well lose itself when you are sucked back into sleep OR into the spirit realm. But my ego always make it back. So far. And if it didn’t, my brain wouldn’t know it anyway. :-)

Wow! I just came upon this site, looking for some answers to why I might dream of demons, and I can’t believe how much I relate to everyone!
I have SO many experiences – but, each time, it seems like it gets worse and worse.
I’ve seen demons before. I know I wasn’t sleeping. I saw some for the first time when I was about 15. I had been taking a nap. I ‘thought’ I had woke up, and got out of bed, and headed for my door. When I got to the door, I hesitated (had a ‘weird feeling’), but opened it anyways. When I went to open it, there was this tall man standing there. His presence SO incredibly scared me, that it’s kind of indescribable. He had long hair (black), he was wearing these black boots, was kind of ‘muscular’, was wearing a black shirt (long sleeve), and had brown eyes. I ‘gasped’ when I saw him, and tried to slam the door shut, but he was trying to grab me. He was pulling at me. I finally pulled my arm away, and went to try and shut the door. During the struggle, and as I was shutting the door, he tried to grab me by the neck/head. I turned a bit, and I was wearing these long gold earrings. During this part of the struggle, my earring was knocked to the floor – on the outside of my bedroom door. I finally managed to shout, “God, help me”, and was able to shut the door. Right after that, I woke up. My hair was blowing for a second, like a wind was coming through my room. I was scared, yet SO relieved that it was just a dream. I immediately thought about my earring that I had seen fall on the ground. So, hesitantly, I went to feel if it was still there. (They were about 2 to 3 inches long – this was in 1984.) My left earring was not in my ear. I could literally feel my pulse start to race – I was terrified to move. But, I got out of bed, walked to the door, and said, “God, please let that man be gone.” I opened the door, and there was my earring on the ground.
I have seen demons while I was lying in bed, from just waking up. It’s kind of like they don’t realize that I can seem them. Actually, they’ve all looked like ‘normal’ people – except for their eyes. And, whenever they realize that I’m looking at them, they’ve walked right over to me, and ‘locked eyes’ on mine. After that happens, I usually have to close my eyes, then when I open them, they are gone. They usually are just sitting around – looking really ‘sad’. I’ve seen quite a few of them together at one time, but only one will actually come over to me. (Never seen these in my house that I currently live in.) (That was also before I became a Christian, and was baptized. I became very far removed from God between the ages of 29 through 34. I am 43 now.)
Lately, I have had dreams where I think I’m awake, because I’m grabbing my cell phone to see what time it is. When I finally wake up, I look at my phone, and realize that the time I ‘thought’ I saw was actually a few minutes before. (This happens usually when I take naps on the weekends.)
But, what brings me to this site TODAY is what has been occurring a lot lately. I go to sleep, and it’s as if I’m being invaded by spirits. Sometimes I can see them. Sometimes, I can feel them. I usually cry out for Jesus – although sometimes, I can’t speak or scream, or anything. But, I’ve learned out to ‘train’ myself to be aware of what’s going on, so my subsconscious mind can call out to Jesus to rebuke the spirits in His name, and it seems to be working. Last night, I kept having to say it, and with each time I said it, I could feel ‘cold chills’ moving through me.
I try not to let these things scare me. I have really grown spiritually, and I can tell the difference in my spiritual side, and my physical body. I can sense my spirit, and other people’s spirit. The demons don’t really bother me, because I know the answer – Jesus! But, what does bother me, is knowing that my ‘spirit’ has traveled around my house (while my physical body is sleeping.) I’ve had too many instances where I’ve seen different clocks throughout my house.
I also dream things that are future events – I dreamt that death of my brother 1 year before. God has also shown me things that were in my future that have happened – wrecking my car (a few years ago), etc. I’ve seen a couple of other things that have really scared me (nuclear clouds coming over a field…fire on everything, and other ‘stuff’.)

this i believe is called, sleep paralysis.It effects differ on individuals, the main ones are feeling awake but asleep, not being able to move or talk, demon like figures being hallucinated, a present felt, commonly jumping on your bed, sitting on your chest making your breathing difficult.Another figure is “the old hag” or the witch, in the old days it was thought of as a curse from the local witch.”The witch jumped on my back” is a saying featured in art other the years describing this occurrence.I had this problem for years and managed to exploit it to my own entertainment when i found it was not real.If you cant move, wiggle your toes, and you will break free, the catholics usually try praying….and it works.I was getting it from stress i was told, but once i started toying with it and testing it, it stopped.Kinda reminds me of alice an the jabberwocky.

i came across this website by accident. so i figured i would share as well. a few hours ago, i laid down after doing most of my school work. thinking to my self, “i will rest for a while and then finish.” of course, this is not what had happened. i fell asleep and started to dream instantly. the dream started off normal.. then i woke up in my bed, or so i thought. i tried to get out of bed thinking “oh no, my school work!!”. then right back into another dream. this happened about 5 times before my dreams became very very vivid. this is nothing new to me. i have had oobe, been on the astral plane, had lucid dreams, and so forth. every time i would wake from a dream i would be stuck in bed screaming. now, at one point i remember taking control, as you would in a lucid dream. only that i had no control to take. “something” for lack of better knowledge would reappear every time. and every time it would attempt to take my life, in a different form. i had to keep gaining control over every dream. everytime i woke in my dream, i would be in my bed, yet in a much different place. after what seemed like a month, i took control, again…. only to be confronted once again. everything seemed fine. i was at my old house, my most recent ex girlfriend was there, as were a couple of her friends, whom i had never met. this one friend tried getting me to dance and have fun~~~ everything was fine, until i realized wait… im in my house that i havent in in for years, with a girl i do not know and my ex who hates me.. at that moment we were in the kitchen of the house. my father(who is deceased) walks in coming closer and closer. I start to scream”you are dead!” every time he backs away a little more. i continued on to say ” you are not welcome here demon” this was the trick. he fled, so i chased… this time i forced it away and only caught a glimpse of its hand as i shut the finial door on it. at that moment i woke up, leaped out of bed and ran to my buddies room, knocking on the door. he awoke and asked what i was doing. i told him slap me, really hard.. he did …. an overwhelming feeling of joy had come over me at that moment. the part i find odd is that every time i “woke” in this dream. i “fell asleep” again and was in a more of less normal dream.. only to have it go down hill and fast. it was always something, different people, places, scenarios and obstacles that i had to overcome. in these dream, pain.. no feeling was very real. i felt rain drops across my face. heat, cold.. i could feel my hand as i tried to wake myself of convince myself i was awake. at one point i was being choked to death and felt every bit of it, the hands around my throat, the lack of oxygen, the feeling of numbness in my face, my lungs grasping for any bit of air they could…. i went to google at typed in astral demons and this is one of the sites i came across.. i actually feel much better after typing this and am contemplating on clicking the send button… eh, what the hell, he goes, hope you enjoy.
