I have had sleep paralysis plenty times. Here is what i discovered, lack of sleep is one the factors that contribute to my having sleep paralysis.
The first time I had sleep paralysis, I was being chased by an enemy and then I had to jump from a high rise building. In the process of landing, I found myself conscious but struggling to move my body.
The second time,I was taken to hell and I was full of regrets for not making it to heaven and then I regained my consciousness.

Goldenheart:


I use to think it was someone pinning me down until one night.... I told myself If I die, I die...

Buhhh

I read about it and how it happens, I experimented it and figured how to snap out of it...

Sometimes I just wanna enjoy the moment a bit longer before I decide when to snap out.

I also share in this experience, when I would be woken up by the NEPA light, eyes closed and can't be opened, no limbs can be moved, yet my brain and ears still functioning, and most important I do have difficulty in breathing and have something I can call a semidream which is always the same, I always thought one day I may die during this struggle which last for a few seconds or maximum 2 minutes, till I finally wake up.
I am always urged to tell those around me , but I later thought they may never understand what I am talking about since they can't relate or they make me to dey start 7 days fasting and prayer over that.
Glory to God I have experience that since a year now.

What sleep Paralysis?

Professorcplus:
[b] Mine has reduced but let me share a recent experience with you. One evening before I went to bed, I decided to wash my dirty white singlet and hung it above the shower rail in the bathroom. I usually switch off the light before sleeping but this time I could detect if the light switch was turned on or off because NEPA refused to do the needful. Out of fatigue, I left the bathroom door open and went to bed which is opposite to the door but extreme end of the room.

I don't know how long I have slept, but suddenly felt a cold breeze with eolian sound. I opened my eyes but couldn't move all I could see was a very bright blue cloud with an angel carrying a sliver trumpet. I forced myself to fly up but I couldn't. RAPTURE is here. I was still in fear of making heaven when I finally gained conscious.

Haa. NEPA is at work again. OX standing fan rotating at its highest speed; the white light in the bathroom illuminating the terracotta bathroom blue tiles on the wall and the singlet looks like an angel with the shower hose head looking like trumpet. I realized it wasn't RAPTURE after all just some sleeping paralysis [/b]

It's only ever happened to me once and it was last year. It was scary as hell, I had heard about it a lot.
I had not watched any scary movie prior to the experience.
As usual I went to bed a bit late, my 5am alarm went off I just snoozed it to try and sneak more sleep in. Then I had this sort of weird dream of some very beautiful demon with actual horns and black eyes giving me a Mouth Gig, I mean it was wild, my legs were moving at first. I was concious of everything that was happening, I didn't like what I was receiving. I knew the Mouth Gig was weird, I wanted to like snap her head and stop. Fam, nothing was happening, I couldn't move, I could only watch a demon blowing me, I felt precum before I finally woke up.

FrontRunner:

Yea but it's really surprising to know you were put through all that.I also lived in Family House during my Service year and know alot of Shiit went down ooo.Like a time we had to pray for a sister who was used for money rituals by some Rich Dude,She Left the House and later came back very ill but That's by the way tho.
So why would everyone(mamay,papay,Prayoo etc)believe one person over you.Were you giving them the wrong impression about yourself?

Young people don't be deceived. See the difference here.... Back then in junior sch, we used to play all through d day, engaging in different spots at home...long jump,high jump etc.
so, at night it becomes very difficult to wake up.. atimes you open your eyes, but no feeling at all allover yr body. I call this sleep paralysis.
Never confuse this to a spiritual attack!
There are witches, wizards, demons haters, everywhere & the only time they know they can easily maime you is when you're asleep, usually at night.
How come it doesn't happen much when you sleep in the afternoon??
Dr D.K Olukoya can't be wrong about demonic oppression.

currently battling this, but I think it is due to the mattress I need to change and inadequate sleep

Everyone has the freedom to choose what they believe. What if you die and find out you were wrong?

Pavillon:


Wow..

I don't usually take it serious anyway.

What about that part where I made mention of free fall....do u experience that also??

CaptainFM1:


It's exactly the same thing that happened to them. The only difference is that they do not respond or give a fight to settle their scores. So they were pulled over to the other side.

Snake in dreams are from the marine kingdom. These demons fight finances, marriages and people getting married.

Davoneskay:


How did you overcome?

Frankicent:



Why did you put an object on your neck?

IceColdVeins:
Medicalnewstoday.com defined sleep paralysis as a feeling of being unable to move, either at the onset of sleep or upon awakening. The individual's senses and awareness are intact, but they may feel as if there is pressure on them, or as if they are choking. It may be accompanied by hallucinations and intense fear.

In Icecoldvein's opinion, sleep paralysis has a plethora of arguments surrounding it. Researchers uphold various scientific hypothesis that represent sleep paralysis as a biological phenomenal, some even insisted that it only happens when your brain wakes up a few seconds before the peripheral nervous complex (the neurons in your body parts), which in turn triggers slow responses to the brain's information by body parts. On the other hand, Spiritualists maintained the notion that sleep paralysis is designed by demons and can only be remedied spiritually.

I used to have sleep paralysis a lot until it stopped, when I embraced some spiritual antidotes.

Below is still the scariest sleep paralysis experience that I ever had......

I heard my ex's voice yell a threat at me, I was scared and tried to get up, realised I was six fts below ground level with a shiny grave moulded untop of me. And suddenly, the skies changed from it's astonishing high resolution filters to the dreadful black and white effect, as it coughed a heavy thunder down my grave....My mummied body immediately knew it was in for it......I tried fleeing from the horrifying dream, never knew a worse comeuppance awaited me. I was thrown into a solid 40 seconds of sleep paralysis.... before I opened my eyes, hissed and mumbled 'Una papa. I don wake up'

Dear NL,
What are your experiences and beliefs about sleep paralysis ? Your inputs may put some people experiencing it at ease.

Kindly share!!

Now this is super scary! I would have frozen to death!

Zornes123:
I recall my dad telling my mom how an evil spirit held him in the bed and couldn’t let him move. The prayer that night wasn’t a funny one. Deep down I knew he only had sleep paralysis.
Well about mine. I saw a Jesus like figure talking to me and telling me to repent, out of fear I tried moving from my bed but this unknown force held me down for some seconds. When I was finally able to move i noticed I had tears in my eyes. This happened even before I knew of the term sleep paralysis. I always told my friends I saw Jesus back then. If it was sleep paralysis or Jesus I can’t even tell
