Chai.. Nkan be! At times, you can even be seeing things while you're still lying down only to finally wake up and know that nothing that you were seeing was actually happening! You were just about to die from sleep but nature brought you back to life, that it wasn't your time yet!! 3 Likes |

thesicilian:You truly get the firsthand understanding of how it works. For me after much experience about it,I just catch my fun when the sleep paralysis gets hold of me , I just laugh and rest even proper that way I defeat fear and restlessness , in due time it goes away without your knowledge. From my small research l found out that this WALL GECKO causes such ,it hangs just right above you and tilt it's tails somehow,until it leaves that's when u get relieve from that attack, since then I exterminate every wall gecko I sight in my house , I hate that creature now to the call. During when we where little our seniors back then do tell us not to kill them but the reason not yet known to me. We Yoruba's call them Omoni'ile(house children) .But I still kill them because of their nature, it's poisonous if it drops in your pot of soup, if it hangs in between your wears when putting it on ,you will know the origin of madness. 1 Like |

It is spiritual oppression.... by demons, witches and wizards. These forces are very real but unfortunately some people think they are imaginary. 2 Likes |

Psady:When we dream during rem sleep our body is paralysed to prevent us from acting out the dream using the physical body. The normal route is for the paralysis to be lifted before your mind (consciousness ) wakes up. Sleep paralysis occurs when your mind (consciousness) wakes up before the paralysis as been lifted, this make you aware of the paralysis. And this phenomenon can be induced using techniques. 7 Likes |

Re: Is There Anything Like Witch Pressing You While Sleeping At Night? by Lucifyre: 7:13pm On Mar 02 |
justlove91:Apt The interesting part about this is just as the body fails to wake up from the paralyzed state leading to sleep paralysis, the body also sometimes fails to be paralyzed during sleep leading to the acting out of dreams like you said hence you have sleep walkers, talkers and others like me who sometimes act out their dreams with subtle and sometimes violent movement and in the process injuring themselves. It's a 2 way street really but people focus on one more than the other cause its more scary i guess. People simply fear what they don't understand. 3 Likes |

Lucifyre: You're right, sometimes the body lift the paralysis too early while the mind is still dreaming and sometimes the body lift the paralysis too late after the mind is "awake" Infact to be factual, you're not really fully awake during sleep paralysis but you're aware of the body's paralysis while still partially dreaming. The reason why must people think sleep paralysis is the work of demons or finds it scary is because when the mind becomes aware of the paralysis, the common reaction is fear, but remember that during this state the mind is partially awake and partially dreaming at the same time. So the fear reaction is incorporated into the dream plot and one can actually hallucinate seeing a demon or stranger in the room. I am a lucid dreamer and the fascinating thing about sleep paralysis is that it is easy to convert it to lucid dream, how? Next time you experience sleep paralysis, just forget about the body and room you're in and imagine yourself somewhere else, your awareness will gradually shift into the imagined scene. 2 Likes |

Lucifyre: Act out ke? like when you were walking in your sleep you were not walking somewhere in your dream? or when you were violent, it was.not that you were trying to defend or attack sonething in your dream?.Self deceit at its finest! |
Re: Is There Anything Like Witch Pressing You While Sleeping At Night? by justlove91(m): 9:10am On Mar 03 |
If you can induce it then it means that you are not sleepingSleep paralysis is one manifestation of a state called the phase state (coined by Michael Raduga). The phase state is a state in which the body is asleep but the mind is awake that's why the state is also called "body asleep mind awake state". Other manifestations of this state include : out of body experience, lucid dream, astral projection, false awakening etc. if not men would not need to masturbate as they can just conjour that bitch that came to Bleep them the first time.Actually men don't need to masturbate to pixels on screen as they can have sex with anybody they desire through lucid dream sex. https://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/lucid-dreaming-sex.html |

Dtruthspeaker: Reasoning with you would be akin to one reasoning with a dog not to eat vomit, roll in the mud, or sniff buttholes. It's pointless as the planes of reasoning are so far apart. So i don't think i want to be part of your usual typo filled incoherent mess of a tangential pov. Your comments all over this site show you to be obtuse as fvck, dense beyond gold and a demi god at being a grade A mor0n. It'll come across as an insult but one just needs to go through ur comment history to find out its fact. Anyways ill be ignoring ur dumb ass onward until u maybe decide to grow up, not holding my breath though. 1 Like |

justlove91: About the bolded, i don't think you can say that as a fact, its a little bit more nuanced than that. I believe experiences defer and while what you say applies to most there's still some anecdotal evidence to the contrary. Example a little anecdote from myself, my first overwhelming sleep paralysis experience, i was clearly awake even though in that groggy state and was struggling to get up but couldn't. Was shouting and no one heard me. It looked like a dream state but why i got to know it ws not was cause everyone in the room was exactly where they were in real life like in the "dream like state" when i was struggling and shouting to get their attention. The caveat here been that they told me "you were just lying there nau", you didnt even flinch, mind you not like they were paying close attention to me, cause they were gisting. Maybe i was experiencing some sort of psuedo astral projection as well but i really doubt that as i don't even believe in astral projection in its literal form. So you see its a little bit more nuanced than partially dreamy partially awake. Your lucid dream thought process is quite spot on though. That's what ive been doing anytime i get sleep paralysis although it rarely happens to me. Also sometimes when im lucid dreaming, i wake up and then go back to sleep to continue from where i stopped exactly especially when i liked the dream. Doesn't happen often though. |
