tex baba: yea i knw the feeling, coincidentally it almost happened to me last nyt again. It happened to me several times that i have now knwn when it wants to happen nd what to do to stop it. last nyt, while i lay down to sleep, i felt the experience building up, buh i quickly used all my strength to move my body nd forcefully open my eyes before it took root in me, also changing my sleeping position. trying to sleep again, it started building up again nd after fitghing it off again, i took my bible which was like miles away frm me...looool, prayed- covering myslf with the blood of Jesus and putting the bible under my pillow. i tell u the thing stoped immediately nd i slept soundly. i usually see it as demonic attack, cos the first times i exzperienced it, it really took hold of me so i felt the demons warm hands on my cheeks, laughing sinistally while laid helpless...i could feel it. i understand it usually when these evil pple have seen that something good is coming ur way, they use that means to collect the glory meant for u nd u would miss out on it. please if u have such experiences, dont just relax nd let it go on, fitgh it off cos when they say some pple sleep nd didnt wake up, thats usually what happend to them...they were pressed to death.

aah , nija wit black brain. Wetin una no go hear for nairaland

bigfrancis21:

Let me also quickly add that at the sleep paralysis stage, the soul is half-way in the body and at that point it is usually easy to consciously leave the body at that time. Note that we all unconsciously leave our bodies at one time or the other during sleep but conscious leaving of the body is another thing.

O boy i no go follow you play dat kain rough play O cheesy
Me go just remain near my body jeje until the thing kick-start.

ikechukz: sup guys.i've been having this problem like twice every year without knowing what it really was.
Some times when i wake up i can't move my body,can't open my eyes and can't even talk no matter how hard i tried.This lasts for up to 1 or 2 mins.
When it is happening it feels as if there is a demon holding me down and some times i could hear the demons discussing.

The only way for me to get out of this torment was to shout JESUS and it was very hard.It is the most scary experience i.ve ever witnessed in my life.
Recently i discovered online that it called sleeping paralysis and it happens when your brain is awake and your body is not fully awake.

IF U HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IT TELL US HOW IT WAS,
Yours happens for one or two mins, most times, mine lasts for 10-20mins or even more. I thank God for alwayz being there for me and for HIS SON JESUS, because I get a chance of waking up fully when I mention HIS Name or Sing gospel songs. The experience can be very scpary esp when it lasts for long nd i've been experiencing it since i was a kid(10yrs or so) although not at all times. The last tym it happened 2 me was last mnth. I thank God for me.

ItsModella: It happens to me occasionally. I feel like I'm in a coma, aware of my surroundings but my body would refuse to move. To open my eyes is very difficult, like say I dey use the eye lift weight. This happens to me mostly when I take an afternoon nap.
Same here, jst dat i can open my eyes nd roll my eye balls, raise my eyelids, but not beyond dat because i cnt move my head nor any other part of my body. It happens to me mostly when i go bak to sleep in d morning or afternoon naps. It also happens to me sometimes when I sleep off while praying, dats why these dayz, I make sure I conclude my prayer before 'crashing', even when my eyes ar heavy, I pray short prayers. I thank God for HIS Grace though. Thanks be to HIM

sanchez4eva: This is why Nigeria will never progress....we always attribute everytin to demonic attack...if u do your research u will find out that sleep paralysis is actually a protective mechanism initiated by the brain to prevent us from acting our dreams...like kicking or jumping out of bed...it occurs in the last stage of sleep known as REM or rapid eye movement sleep...Just stop being afraid because it is a normal process...it may occur often if you sleep on your back so start sleeping on your side and do not eat heavily before sleeping...Dr Okonjo
Continue deceiving yourself Ok? Protective mechanism Ko? Acting our dreams ni? Everything you said is theoritically possible but what about its practicality? Obviously you googled up this stuff and pasted it here. Who do you think wrote those things and put there? Do you know where those guys belong? Anyway, I have one question for you because I have experienced this more than 10 times. Why is it that whenever I experience the so called "sleep paralysis" and I call out to my brothers, I will notice that am actually calling them out but my body wont move. Now comes the hard part. When I want to call out the name of Jesus or shout Blood of Jesus, I will notice that it will transcend from sleeping paralysis to choking paralysis. My breath will seize, my head will contract and my eyes will bulge. I wont be able to utter any word again as against when I normally call my brothers. I will notice also that I will be aware all these is happening to me yet am helpless till I manage to say JESUS. Guess what? Even if it is in the tiniest of voice that I manage to say JESUS; I AM FREED IMMEDIATELY. Again, I notice that it happens to me whenever I dont say my night prayers. NAIRALANDERS, THIS SO CALLED "SLEEPING PARALYSIS" IS AN ATTACK BY EVIL SPIRITS. THOUGH THEY ARE USUALLY NOT HARMFUL, THEY TORMENT ONE'S SLEEP AND MAKE YOU MISERABLE. THEY ARE LIKE LITTLE DEMONS. Before you sleep, say your night prayers, read your holy bible if you have one, spray holy water on your bed and surroundings and then go to sleep. You will notice that YOU WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE. So I have a sentence for you mister SANCHEZ4EVER OR WHATEVER THING YOU ARE; EITHER YOU ARE AN EVIL AGENT OR THAT YOU ARE NOT VERSED IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM!

My dear forget oyibo theories. they call it sleeping paralysis buy i call it "being pressed by a demon". if it was sleeping paralysis how come when you Shout JESUS it stops?? it happened to me so much as a child, but its has kinda stopped now, u need to be more prayerful and believe God to deliver you from the hands of demons.... Pray before you go to bed and commit yourself in the hands of Jesus. this world is desperately wicked and only God can save us.
Seconded

afam4eva: IT has happened to me a lot of times. Most times i want to shout "Blood of Jesus" or call someone to come and help me but no word comes out of my mouth. But sometimes i manage to battle it and i come out victorious. Praise Master Jesus.

Although there could be some physical explaination to it but we still have to consider the fact that sleep is a spiritual activity.Ur spirit do travel to the dream world as a matter of fact.

I've had this experience for hundreds of time,in some situation u wake inside your dream and experience it before even waking up in the real world.In some cases Iv seen cats,and in the bid to attack the cats in dream I get paralysed.The harder u struggle,the more paralysed u become.I strongly believe its demonic based on some evidence I won't be able to explain here.I usualy get usualy get out of the situation by relaxing and uttering the BLOOD OF JESUS

ait_anofi: I experience it ocassionally as well. It was as if someone was holding me down, and was indeed scary, i would try hard to get up bt until after reciting some chapters in d holy quran, which would be between 1 to 2 minutes sometimes. This post came as a suprise because i never imagine some guys can be in d same situation as i am, now i am relieved of thinking may be some demons are after me.
I used to think it happens to only me too because my siblings never mentioned such experience nd when I shared mine, I was advised to be more prayerful

nacotic: I used 2experience it a lot growing up n twas quite scary, 4al dose sayn its one witch or devil pressn u dats a lie, I read up on it n found out dat d body wakes up in stages so it happens wen ur brain is awake but ur body is stil asleep so d simple remedy is 2 sleep face down, it never happns wen u sleep dat way.
yeah, each time it happens to me, I change my position to face down and I wake up instantly. Mehn, that thing is scary. Funny thing is when I finally wake up, I usually feel like sleeping again but fear no go let me, not after I don struggle finish to wake up.

afam4eva: There's another one that happens to me. I don't know is i'm the only person who experiences it.

I may be lieing down and semi-asleep and all of a sudden i start seeing strange objects. It could be snakes, someone etc. It looks so real but when i jump up to run away but only realise after some seconds that it's nothing.
Sincerely give ur lyf to JESUS nd be prayerful too

hornipipe: It happens when you force your self to sleep even after sleeping overdose.
Instead of getting outta bed you still force your self to sleep some more undecided
It happened to me 3 days ago grin i was so scared and thought the world had come to an end but after it Freed me i still went ahead to sleep and the same thing happened grin
Its not new when this happens just close your eyes for 5 seconds and try going back to sleep then get up! cheesy (my little trick)
Going bak 2 sleep wen I'm not freed only prolongs d issue, because even when I wake up frm such sleep, I still feel bound nd paralysed. The surest way na JESUS o, for in His Name, every 'sleeping paralysis' watsoever must let go.

I feel sorry 4 d atheists and scientists who say dat God and demons dont exist. Until you start seeing them with your two 'kokoro' eyes. U will know how far. It's not only spiritual things that Prayer work, even in health. I have escaped near-death sicknesses because of the name Jesus. U can use ur experiments to find out how these spirits control the human body and mind. I hope the evil ones don't kill u b4 u realise it

EXACTLY!
Happened to me about two months ago. I tried overcoming the spooky stuff with 'mind control' method but it didn't work. I resolved to calling JESUS CHRIST and after a few 'calls' I got freed.
Phoned mum 'sharpally' and a day fasting was declared on my head in absentia.

Witches or no witches. D name of Jesus saves. Sanchez if u hav a problem wit african mentality, then check ur own mentality. Don't you know it's possible for you to know all & still become a victim of ignorance. I read science but that does not make me to reject God's help. Daniel was great in science and spiritual gifts, that was why he excelled than all the Babylonian scientists. Claiming 'I too know'
