Sleep paralysis is quite simply the gateway to Astral Projection ... And most experiences at that time are actually real...

Sleep paralysis is the gateway to Astral projection. If you wake up in such state, your inner you or soul is halfway out of your body and with some extra mental effort you could will yourself out of the body or shell temporarily, travel around the earth for some fun and return. It doesn't happen to me very often and I often wish it does. Its happened to me twice and during those times I could not feel my entire body except my chest area and I felt another part of me, my soul, floating above my body but one part stuck to my chest area which would not disengage with mental effort. Next I think of my body and I feel my soul settling inside of it again. For those who experience this often consider this a blessing especially if you're interested in things spiritual.
yea astral projection is another phenomenon i use to think is fake, but they're clear evidences scientific and religious that its real, and some religion like Buddhism teach its followers how to deliberately project

And never cross your legs while sleeping. I figured that out the hard way after series of attacks that made me even scared to go to sleep at night. REMEMBER!!! Your legs should never be crossed or get tangled with your partner while sleeping.
Thats another good observation especially when sleeping on your stomach.

If there is anything like sleep paralysis sometimes enemies take advantage of it to manipulate, there one family I served before, the woman is into ritual and the son and every time, I always see them in dreams either the son or the woman, no other person in that family that show up in the dream apart from those 2, op how can u explain that. Then why do we have relief once u shout jesus if is not spiritual, sometimes when u sleep in particular compound it always happen there than other places. So explain that to me.
you always see them because in reality you believe they're occultic and dangerous and they hurt people, now when your brain relax it relays all the things in your mind into your subconscious, and you see them in the dream, change your mindset about them and see if you'll still see them

Dnt allow this post to divert yr attention from d works of witches & wizards. Sleep paralysis & demonic oppression are similar & its only when u'v experienced both u can differentiate...


...Have you ever over-worked yrsf in yr youthful days by engaging in diff sports @ d playing ground.....that feeling of total body paralysis that u experience sometimes even when you are awake is an example of sleep paralysis. No strange force is exerted on you...whereas in d case of demonic oppression you get hurt by the forces exerting pressure on you. In your dreams, u'r unable to walk, unable to climb up an elevated structure, falling into depths, see people with deformed dentition, see yrsf in an unknown location, etc


If its sleep paralysis, why does it occur mostly @ night, or do you think educated preachers like Amanda Ogunro & DK Olukoya dnt know wht they'r saying??


Dnt allow yr enemies to implant that spirit of rejection/failure/disappointment/sickness in you. That signifies that u'r being monitored. Be wise!

Africans and spiritual attacks, even somthing that have been cleared up by science we still call spiritual attack.hmmm

This is how some people hear cats or owls at night and start disturbing neighbors with prayers.

Don't mind OP. U don't say wat u don't know about. All diz small shujren wey nev see anything. Why does it stop wen u call the name of Jesus? When u develop the strength to fight back and wrestle the tin to the ground, why does someone close to u avoid u suddenly? cheesy listen OP, just try to sleep in one of Delta State polytechnic off-campus hostels dominated with females; but do small snobing and forming for their face during the day fes. U go see weeeeeeeeeen for night. Pls I always leave a piece of doubt hanging on the sides, so as not to rush into conclusion. This write up came up on Facebook about two years ago and it was written by someone in the US but I was amazed how several oyibos made it clear that wen they called Jesus, it stopped. No let village ppl use u do grinding stone o lipsrsealed

I know a lady called Ekaetie who tried to squeeze the daylights outta my gf (winch tinz). As soon as my gf accused her, tru a pastor, she started avoiding my gf. Wen her BF found out about th pastor's accusations, he began to recount several time dem press am e nearly shit for body for night, weneva h had a quarrel with Ekaetie. He broke up with her, she moved away. Na so the tin stop. Sleep paralysis ko, sleep stroke ni

Nice thread and well-written suggestions for preventing sleep paralysis.

However, sleep paralysis, if caused by demon possession (because it's among the signs of possession by a demon), cannot be prevented by those recommendations.

Such instances, which defy medical notions, can only be rectified with prayers, deliverance.

You forgot to include the mandatory 10%taxtithe.

Demon kor, Spaghetti monster ni.

If scientists retained your kind of retarded reasoning, common paracetamol would not have been developed because.. guess? Headaches are caused by demons punching your brain and prayer is the only solution.

So please let go of your ridiculous beliefs.

Sleep paralysis is not caused by demonic possession although It may feel like it because of your religious beliefs.

Tadeknkeepcalm:
arrogance, too big to take correction.

A nightmare can be bad, terrible, or horrible. It can be MOSTLY bad but never HORRIBLE. It can be usually TERRIBLE and occasionally HORRIBLE.
The choice of word depends on the intensity of experience...and the reaction of the one experiencing.

These words: BAD, TERRIBLE & HORRIBLE represent variations of unpleasantness...with different degrees of intensity. A thing can be terrible but not exactly horrible.
An experience may evoke fear (bad), terror (terrible) or horror (horrible).

Hence if a person says that a nightmare is usually horrible, they are only recognizing the fact that the intensity the nightmarish experience may be less, but is usually high.

It's a matter of feeling and opinion

So the best you can do, given your level of education, is to conclude that Ekaetie is a 'witch'??

You are probably the kind of person that would leave a child out to die on the street for being declared a witch by a pastor. Luckily not all Nigerians are this retarded. Although it had to take a Danish woman to rescue that kid.

Please read more science books and less of fiction.

i'm not sayn it occurs only @ nyte. Witchcraft involves secrecy & no witch wants you to easily guess who the attacker is. When they attack you in d afternoon, you can easily go out & survey any person around....but @ nyte, they know u'l be asleep, and d probability of u guessing who attacked u becomes lower, why? -because more people are around...
