No need to worry, you're prolly too afraid and its making your mind play tricks on you. All you need to do is to remember that you control your mind, nothing else can.

Re: What Is Behind Getting Pressed While Sleeping? by EvilBrain1(m): 1:57am On Jan 30, 2013
Its called sleep paralysis and its perfectly normal.

When you are asleep, you brain normally paralyzes all your muscles. This is so that when you dream, you don't start acting action film and punch or kick your wife/girlfriend sleeping beside you. This paralysis (called muscle hypotonia) is usually turned off as you wake up. Sometimes however, you might wake up while the paralysis is still on, making you feel that you can't move or that something is pressing you into the bed. It usually lasts just a few seconds and stops immediately you're stimulated, e.g. if someone touches you or if you hear a sound.

Because this experience can be scary for those who don't know what it is, the greedy, corrupt pastors have taken advantage of it to scare people and make them seek protection against the "evil spirits that are responsible".

But there are no evil spirits, it is perfectly normal, and it happens to everybody. So don't worry.

No need to be superstitious. I've experienced sleep paralysis in broad daylight while observing an afternoon rest. It has nothing to do with darkness or the forces of evil.. ;-)

It's a demonic oppression or witchcraft . Don't take it lightly. When you wake from such sleep rebuke it or get to a minister who is anointed for such to minister to you

Good evening,

I agree totally with the above assessment. I sometimes experience this paralysis though on very rare occassions and as a matter of fact I experienced it just last night.

But this is not to say that one can't experience some 'diabolical' attacks. In as much as I agree that a lot of people cry fowl when nothing is wrong with them, there are some specific circumstances that suggests the paranormal.


Thank you!

i thank you all for your care and taking your time to explain things to me, this thing has been happening to her since she was little, especially if she sleeps alone and it happens mostly in the afternoon. I asked my mum and she said she used to experience it when she was young and that it is a witch pressing.I kind of doubt if it is witchcraft though. i don't want to believe a witch is after somebody

The problem I have with scientists is their attempt to give every phenomenon a scientific appendage. Colossians 2 : 8 warn us to beware of this. I've experienced night press on several occasion, but since I became spiritually alert such experience ceased. Night pressing is the work of the devil

Good evening Dogo,

I agree with you on some of the points you raised but some religious people have the tendency to attribute almost everything to the devil. Even when they trip over a stone, they attribute it to the devil.

The problem I have with pastors and priests is that they attempt to give every simple occurence a religious appendage. Science warns us to beware of this. I experienced night press on many time in my teenage years and one day I summed up courage and challenged the spirit to dare me again, it stopped. Its in the mind and preys on our fears, not any stuupid-prank-playing-devil.

It is purely a spiritual problem\attack\manipulation. Thats y its important to pray psalm 91 & 35 before u sleep.

Man is exposed to all manners of spiritual manipulation while asleep. Thats y the powers that rule the earth are always active at night. No wonder spiritual battles can always be waged successfully at night when the powers of darkness are most active.

May God protect us frm unseen dangers.

you are a realist! Now, what is d solution now dt you have found d answer...d bible says truth liberates, having recieved d truth, work on putting your body under control. When you are pressed, somehow this thing you 've known will trigger something in your consciousness and dt will put a stop to d trick played by your brain on you. Meanwhile before you sleep talk to your body, don't fear cos d things you fear many atimes are not real.
