Divay22:
It happened to me countless times last year,when we newly relocated to the place we are now.....

Though mine started with a terrible nightmare....
They said i was forming strong abi,that i think i can pray I'll see...
From that day mine started

Sometimes i unconsciously see my mum and bro talking and laughing but i won't be able to call them, it's like I'm gonna die from there,what i always say in my mind was *God so I'll die like this,in my sleep,though my body and mind is active,but I won't be able to get up,but if only i can shake my body that only when i will get up......

Those i keep suspecting one mama in my corner,each time i pass her,she'll just be looking at me.........
But the Bible says "Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no arm"
Sometimes when i pass her I'll just say "He that touches me,touches God"......

Going to 5 months now,nothing of such has happened again.....












Though within me I knew our Spirit were not in line,there is something about her i just don't like......but i don't know...........





Thanks OP,but mine wasn't ordinary...

Sleep Paralysis

Have you ever had a nightmare (usually horrible) and tried to react to it, but you couldn't, you tried to scream, wake up, run or struggle but you couldn't and you felt like an intruder or a supernatural force is holding you down, keeping you from waking up, or scream for help? The condition is called sleep paralysis,

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which an individual, either during falling asleep or awakening, briefly experiences an inability to move, speak, or react. It happens during REM(rapid eye movement) sleep,


REM is a stage of sleep when the brain is very active and dreams often occur. The body is unable to move, apart from the eyes and muscles used in breathing, possibly to stop you acting out your dreams and hurting yourself.

Sleep paralysis is usually accompanied by fear, hallucinations, fast or difficulty in breathing, sometimes sufferers feel like supernatural forces or human (which thier consciousness believes is capable of hurting them) is trying to kill or suffocate them in thier sleep and when they try to call for help and couldn't, they'll come to the conclusion that its the village witch at work,

Most people who experienced sleep paralysis often feel the presence of an intruder in thier room, outside by the window, a shadowy shapeless figure holding them down to thier bed or someone looking down at them, the paralysis is partial though, and thats why they can move some parts of their body when it occurs,

In some cases they might be visions, out of body experiences and ghostly presence, they're unverified claims that the mythical creature incubus a male demon which lies upon women in order to engage in sexual activities with them, its female counterpart seccubus does the same to men in thier sleep.


Symptoms of sleep paralysis

*you'll be aware of your surroundings but you'll be unable to move, because you're temporarily paralyzed

*irregular and rapid breathing, and perspiration, which you cant control

*you feel the presence of someone(the intruder who you believe is there to harm you) in your room, fear, and panic.

*you wont be able to move, some people can open thier eyes though.

Causes of sleep paralysis

1. Genetics: when theres a history of sleep paralysis in your family

2. Not getting much sleep (insomnia)

3. Little or no night rest to relax the brain, the brain is responsible for your dreams.

4. Jetlag or irregular sleep pattern

5. Sleeping at inappropriate time, which might be induced by drugs, weed, narcolepsy, night job.

Treatment of sleep paralysis

1. Always sleep at the same time every day day, if you're the type that goes to bed by 9pm every day keep it that way

2. Sleep in a sleep inducing environment, quiet, dark, comfortable temperature

3. Don't consume substances that might keep you up at night, like caffeine, kolanut, alcohol

4. Dont eat big meals before going to bed

5. Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep every night

It is a common occurance. But basically to reduce it, avoid sleeping on your back.

The one time it happened to me, I remained calm and let it run it's course as I had read once about it.

I told my Dad about it and the prayers he 'fired' afterwards, I couldn't stop laughing.

mhisbliss:
can't sleep insomnia

mhisbliss:
i understand i also suffer from severe insomnia, right now theres no sign of sleep anywhere but surprisingly as early as 6am am up, its compulsory, but weekends which is tomorrow my mindset will adjust to the fact that tomorrow ain't busy and my body will relax and i sleep till 9am, so the body works like that, it adjusts to your daily routine on its own, and thats why if it geys used to any sleep pattern its hard to change back

hopeforcharles:

If there is a I guess in ur explanation then its a completely wrong explanation. People still think there are no supernatural forces existing, well i pity them.and you better know that somethings are spiritual and lack this ur half baked explanation.

VickyRotex:
How can you get 6 to 8 hours?

lekbel09:
my people perish because of ignorance av u forgotten that the spiritual control the physical, wetdreams incessantly na konji? No bro that is spirit wife serious one, aldo some might be konji buh having such dreams incesantly is spiritual pls take note

Omoluabi16:
my dear, forget this your grammar. It is purely spiritual....I experience this thing occasionally.I did just last week, twice in quick succession. I could hear everything going on but couldn't move,I was just praying within me. By the time I came out of it,I was too scared to go back to sleep. This is a purr metaphysical event.

charliboy654:
