abeg na y no one wan help this unfair

You can pray yourself too . . and you need to believe in your prayers. Support your prayers with appropriate bible passages.

You are not the first person to go thru this, I assure you - Google it and you will see experiences. I deal with somethign similar . . only I dont see any demonic images . . it's kinda like I am struglling to fully wake up from my sleep. I dont let it bother me too much cos it happens only once in a very long while and nothing scary about mine.

DMV area . . You can go to any bible believing church . .I can recommend Jesus House in Silverspring or the Redeemed Church in Bowie. But again, you need to have faith that this will stop.

Goodluck and God bless you.

What you are experiencing is a biological not supernatural phenomenon. You are not alone in what you are experiencing as it is something that occurs in humans the world over(even I have experienced it when I was younger). It is a very well documented if not understood. Have a look at this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis.

Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to REM atonia, the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. When it occurs upon falling asleep, the person remains aware while the body shuts down for REM sleep, and it is called hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis. When it occurs upon awakening, the person becomes aware before the REM cycle is complete, and it is called hypnopompic or postdormital.[5] The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes "by which the individual may experience panic symptoms".[6] (described below) As the correlation with REM sleep suggests, the paralysis is not entirely complete; use of EOG traces shows that eye movement is still possible during such episodes.[7] When there is an absence of narcolepsy, sleep paralysis is referred to as isolated sleep paralysis (ISP).[8]

In addition, the paralysis may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger.[9] Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.[8] The hallucinatory element to sleep paralysis makes it even more likely that someone will interpret the experience as a dream, since completely fanciful or dream-like objects may appear in the room alongside one's normal vision. Some scientists have proposed this condition as an explanation for alien abductions and ghostly encounters.[10] A study by Susan Blackmore and Marcus Cox (the Blackmore-Cox study) of the University of the West of England supports the suggestion that reports of alien abductions are related to sleep paralysis rather than to temporal lobe lability.[11] Some authors have warned of the possible misconnection between child intimate abuse (CSA) and hypnagogic/pompic phenomena and have noted that some clients after having described such an event to a fortune teller or psychic that the psychic may have suggested CSA.

Sometimes, people will wake up before the body has come out of this state of paralysis. You are awake, but no matter how much you try it feels like every muscle in your body is restrained. I have even experienced the shadowy image similar to that you spoke of. In the United States people will say they saw Aliens. In Latin America "demons". South East Asia they see "spirits" of the dead(Vietnam especially). In Japan people see disheveled women(hags). In your case, and the case for most Nigerians, you will probably interpret as witches or demons even.

As with many other cases they are related to stress/sudden change in lifestyle but sometimes it just happens randomly. Although it is disturbing, it is not something that is "supernatural". I do not wish to try to psychoanalyze you, but perhaps there is something in your life that is distressing you? Talking to someone about it may help. But the first step to solving any problem is to inform yourself about it.

almost everybody has experienced it even pastors. Don't you think it is too common to be spiritual attack? Even if you pray 1million times,it will still happen. It stopped happening to me when i start exercising regularly to improve blood circulation. Yes, it is called sleep paralysis.thats exactly what a doctor told me.after laughing at me.

Be it sleep paralysis or spiritual attack or anything u may call it, the fact is that you are not enjoying your sleeps and you normally see some strange thing and sometimes you couldn't talk. Ok, the number one thing you need to do is to give your life to CHRIST, believe in his power, invite him into your life, ask for anything in his name, John 15:7. Use bible verses while praying. Pray everyday, and everytime before you sleep. I know for sure that you have a testimony over this issue. VICTORY IS YOURS IN JESUS NAME

@12large1

It is very simple to handle provided you are born again , but if you're not yet born again,that's the first step. By being born again, you have authority over darkness. You can rebuke that evil spirit by the word of of God, it will stop coming.many people pray wrongly about this kind of thing , that's why they have no result there. In cases like this , you don't need to pray to God, God will not do anything. You ought to address the devil responsible directly. The devil only hears command. You should pray in this manner.

"YOU FOUL SPIRIT OF DARKNESS TORMENTING ME , I REBUKE YOU IN THE NSME OF JESUS, , I BELONG TO JESUS CHRIST WITH MY SPIRIT ,SOUL AND BODY. EVERY CONNECTION WITH YOU IS BROKEN BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. I COMMAND YOU OUT OF MY LIFE. GO FROM ME AND RETURN NO MORE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

If you pray like that, believe it has gone.

Mark 11:24
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


One major thing that is required is for you to give yourself to the word of God in reading and study and meditation . You can put a worship tape on at night for the next few days . Just to create right atmosphere .

I don't agree with you here sir. It is a spiritual problem.

I am afraid that Sleep paralysis is as spiritual as the common cold, which is to say not at all. You can pray and read psalms to make the cold go away, but the reason the cold persists will still be the same. Your body is fighting off an infection and has yet to develop an immunity to the virus.

It is important that people know the real reason for what is affecting them and I suspect that for 12large1 it may be stress related. All I can say to 12large1 is go see a doctor and get informed about what you are experiencing. What you are experiencing is quite common and nothing to be terrified about.
