Simple, whatever I want to get in life, I spend time visualising it rather than thinking that the enemies are with it and I have to get it by force. Rather, I visualise what I want and work for it and I get it within a short period of time.
If I have disturbing nightmares that reoccurs, I tell myself the characters in my nightmares are not demons because demons don't exist. Then before going to bed the next time, I tell myself that I'm gonna change my nightmares to Hollywood movie where I am the hero in it. Then when I get into the dream, I wasn't the victim anymore. I beat silly out of the supposed demons.
Whenever I was having sleep paralysis(which the religious call demonic oppression), in the past I scare myself to near death because of it. But now, I love to study it whenever it comes. I lie still and study its nature.
When I slept and woke up with scratches on my body earlier, I thought it was demon that did it. But I soon began to realise that while I was sleeping, the heat was much and mosquitoes were humming all over me. And I scratched the hell out of my skin unknowingly until Nepa brought light and I stopped.

Other stuffs like witches, wizards, spiritual attacks etc are just mere psychological things which depends on how you want to take them. If you take them as nothing, they are nothing, but if you take them as powerful entities, then they appear powerful to you. It's just about how you see them, but in the actual sense, they are just the same as everyone else, but with higher psychical ability which they built up for themselves over the years, dahz all.
So, you're saying you have the power to control your dreams through the physical, correct?

..... Hello fellows,my name is Shuaibu(not real name),am in my late twenties and am from Edo. So this is my story:



... Everything was going well and I was really at my peak until this happened some 11 years ago(2006 precisely)...... I was at home with my Guardian's wife and one of my cousins at night(around 8pm or so) when suddenly I heard someone call my name at the door and I answered rushing to open the door,only to discover that there was nobody at the door and i was a little terrified. And that ordeal, I can say was the beginning of my mystery.

Later on,I began having series of terrible nightmares that would linger on to become part of my life till this day. Firstly,I would always dream that I want to take something,but my hand will never get to it as i would stretch and stretch-and it was a recurring nightmare that happened on a regular basis. Secondly,I always dreamt that am always being pursued or running and when am running, it's usually at a very very slow rate and this dream too happened all the time. And so for a long sustained period,i had these two nightmares and in most occasions,always in danger.



Fastforward to a few years later and I would notice deterioration in every facet of my life, yet, I would just ignore. Later around 2012, I would gain admission into the University, but I well too realised that I was never the same again..... Before i entered University though, I began having health challenges (chest pain and discomfort) and I inwardly suspected it's a heart problem. So at the University, to cut a long story short, I never got anywhere near my peak and it was always whenever i had it in mind that I wanted to study or exams were around the corner that my chest problem always came, but when free or unoccupied or during holidays, I felt healthy and this was the trend all through my University days.


Again, although it was nightmares pre University, at the university it became somewhat metaphysical and it was in truth worrying. Whenever i slept and wanted to wake up, I always felt as though am being held down and standing up or even shaking becomes impossible and this has continued till this day. In summary, of recent it's either very terrible nightmares or not being able to stand up when awake as a result of being held down-and this mainly happens when am sleeping alone and in most cases when the room is dark.

It's way more mysterious than i presented it, but this is just a Summary of everything. Opinions please cos I feel trapped......

Give your life to Christ and after that visit a Dunamis church and start attending, your deliverance is on the way. Thank me later.

That thing happens to almost everyone I know.

Sure it's physical.

Sometimes when I visit a friend in a location I haven't been to before that's when it happens and I immediately rebuke it.



Don't rebuke nature. It MUST take it's full course.

The devil knows you will be a powerful vessel in the hands of God and if you don't decide to live a life of holiness and obedience to God, the devil will continue having an upper hand over you.

Maybe it is medical, but it Cld also be spiritual. A friend narrated to me in confidence Dat after taking a tablet prescribed for her for a very vicious headache in school, she woke in the Middle of the night n she was lying on her stomach with her eyes open, and she Cldnt move. There was intense and heavy pressure on her back and she felt like she was being sodomised as in something thrusting in and out of her anus which only stopped when she screamed the name of Jesus in her mind. The medicine was "something zepam"


Remove the Spirits.
It's purely medical.

It can also be induced by a drug as a side effect.

Forget ur friends talk, Her mind is hyper active, and her mind projected those events

Thank you for this. He seems to be having an anxiety disorder. This best explains his symptoms (to the best of my knowledge). If the symptoms do not dissappear, he should try and see a psychiatrist in a tertiary hospital.


A psychiatrist can come later. A doctor in GOPD might be able to sort out his issues

..... In one of d dreams,i was boldly told that i have been tied down .... And my father as a matter of fact died from Witchcraft attack ...... In truth,my story is really a mystery,A big mystery!

Bro, there is no one bewitching you. You've had a lot of stress and difficulty in your young life. Plus any issues with heart ailment can mean sometimes there is a temporary deprivation or reduction of oxygenated blood going to your brain. It's possible you get light headed often or may even be anaemic.

Recurring dreams are common. Having anxiety about being caught naked or missing class due to oversleeping is probably two of the most popular. LOL. My most common dream is not waking up on time for class, and I haven't been in school in 15 years!

May Allah make it easy for you. Amin!

Thanks for this. I believe sleep paralysis can be a symptom of heart/lung issue. It is when you're about waking up but then feel a heavy weight pressing down on you, and you actually believe there is someone holding you down or even lying on top of you, but in reality it is your brain and your body not waking up at the same time.

I used to have it. Probably 3 to five times over a 2-month period, 12 years ago before I started to address other underlying health issues.

And the sleep paralysis has never come back since that time. At the time I was experiencing it, I didn't know what it was. I thought I couldn't wake up because before going to bed I was drinking a natural caffeine-free herbal tea that cools your body down and is a natural muscle relaxer. I started to skip drinking the tea but that did not stop the sleep paralysis. Like I said, it hasn't come back even though I went back to my muscle relaxing tea.

Before anything negative can happen to you... You have to agree in your spirit, Meanwhile before u disagree in your spirit you need a level of spiritual n mental development.... Cuz people agree subconsciously ... The devil uses fear to take charge of our lives

No such thing as curses. No generational curse. None of that is true! People will try to deceive young people with nonsense and ignorance. There is no way someone can say what will happen to you or what you will become. No one can see into the future. They can speculate but no one knows, and no one can control you or your mind.

Please, Please, Please!!! Don't go to any stupid church or pastor, they will only give you greater headache and cause confusion. I had something almost similar to what you are having, I also thought I was hunted until I met persons with similar issues. Some persons including me called Jesus when it happened, some called Allah, some called mummy, others said nothing at all, and it all worked. A simple analysis will tell you that saying or doing something that calms or reassures you can pull you away from distress.

The brain(mind) is very complex, but most times it gives back what you feed it. Be positive minded and effortless. There might be medical treatments for your chest problems but I would advice you also give your mind, proper orientation. Good exercise, sleeping position and yoga would help a lot.
