intense encounter. I’ve had similar false awakenings in SP thinking that my wife was coming back into the room. Nope, that’s a goat creature, not my wife…. in any case, you’re not alone in this bizarre experience!

Alrite this has happend to me twice i was really worried about this. the first time was a few months ago i was lying in my gfs bed and she had gone to work early in the morning i fell back to sleep only i woke up about an hour later lying on my back with my arms by my side perectly straight my eyes could move but nothing else i was totally paralyzed it felt like a demon was holding me down. i gained control a few moments later but i was so scared then last week it happend again. however this time was different i woke up and in the corner of my eyes i saw someone enter the room. i thought it was my gf coming back from work however i was perfectly still and felt like i was been held down. then my body started feeling dead tingly like i was having an orgasm but without cum it felt like i was getting a bj it was a really nice feeling but i began to panic due to the paralysis feeling i thought that someone or something was doing this i tried to scream for help but nothing came out at this point i was really panicing however i gained feeling and movements.

i was worried about this i told my friend who said he heard someting about sleep paralysis but since finding this site it has relived me abit as i thought that a spirit was out for me.

Inducing sleep paralysis is not hard when you’re already prone to it, and asking for a visitor is akin to setting an intention in lucid dreaming. this article may be of help:

Hi Yenifer,

our fears can often take the form of “demons.” It’s natural to have fears about sexuality; the important thing is to cultivate safety and consensuality in dreams and waking life.

I’ve had many episodes before. The last time was like 4 months ago. It got so bad to the point where the demon presence would try to kill me. I could tell it was a man, he dragged me and tried to drown me and choke me. Ever since I moved, I hadnt had one until last night. Just like the others, this time I couldnt see who it was but it was raping me. At first I enjoyed it a little bit but then it hurt like hell. The presence went to far. i finally got out of the episode but I dazed of again. It happened again until I just didnt sleep for the rest of the night. My question is: is this my conscience taking over my mind and body? or the same demon? Im only 17 years old.. still a virgin.

I’m sorry, I have lucid sexual dreams some fantastic some scary but I am not afraid of them. They have caused me no harm

I love the experience and the adventure!

In fact, if there was a way to help a person to train to induce these dreams I sure would like to know.

Anyone have any ideas on a HOW-TO please let me know.

Today for some reason I decided to research about sleep paralysis and could not believe so many other people have experienced it as well.
I have in some way or another have experienced SP my whole life. Mainly I feel like I cannot move and there is someone in the room who I cannot see. And in my mind I’m 100% it’s some sort of spirit. I’m usually terrified and I would always make myself wake up by moving my body left to right repeatedly.
I’ve also experienced some sexual situations, like being raped and not being able to do anything abt it.
But the other day it was truly awkward. I was staying in a hotel room, it was early morning and I was having sex with this invisible man and I was enjoying it, but eventually I freaked out, knowing it was a ghost, and made myself wake up. This was all so weird I don’t even know what to think…

Hey, I got a good chuckle out of your response! *grinning Anyways no I haven’t heard of those visions. I will definetly check it out, do you have good sources? Thank you for your fast response. I wanted to recap on the other nights repeating SP episodes. I ate a extremely large amount of garlic in my split pea with garlic soup, and in my salad. I’m talking cloves +10 anyways I should have known not to eat garlic even a few hours before bed. Garlic induces sleep paralysis!!! Hey since you shared the vision info. You should Google garlic and why you shouldn’t eat it. Im Italian, love garlic. But have learned it actually is looked down upon by Taoist, Shaman, Buddhist, Native Americans, etc. It is a poison to the brain, and negates meditation and opens you up to things like sleep paralysis and incubus and sucubus. The steal our chi our life force everytime we are terrorized with SP they say. Anyways chat ya later Xx, Jennstar

Jennstar thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve come to see that what you’re experiencing is –although weird and decidedly creepy — an absolutely normal part of the human sexual experience. I appreciate your candor and believe me, so do the hundreds of people who read this post and do not comment.

I do think it’s an altered state of consciousness, and could be harnessed as a legitimate path to the divine. Have you ever read the visions of St Theresa or Catherine? ecstasy is the polite term of their visions of the dimensions beyond the ordinary!

I’m still collecting reports of these sort of events, so thanks again.

Your darkest fears and desires shall be played upon likea sweet fiddle.

I started liking it, controlling it, and exploring it. After the first few that scared the hell out of me and embarassed me. I read about it, to understand. I understand its normal and natural. But when do you ever get to play with your own mind and explore in dream land REM, and awake? It’s fascinating, sometimes extremely scary, but you learn to accept it, and tell whats real and not real. Once you master it you can wake yourself up, go back to it, and enjoy it. Or just lay back and let your amazing brain put on a show and feel the paralysis. Mine started with real life thugs threatening me, in real life that later played over to my nightmare. I woke paralysed them in my room saying, “that’s that b*tch”! It felt real I couldn’t move, I hyperventaled, tried to reach for my shot gun by my bed and realised how paralysed I was. I thought they stuck me with a needle. I continued through this horrific dream, hallucination thinking I was going to die a horrible gangbang death. When I woke all the way no one was there. I looked around the house and windows, looked at myself in the mirror, and said what the f*ck?! I had no clue, just assumed I had had the worst lucid yet paralysed dream ever. Recalling a real life scenario, I recently experienced in my waking hours. So it was still fresh in my memory. Later it happened through out the years many times I’d wake paralysed, screaming so I thought for my bf to wake me up. Really I was just mumbling and rocking around in the bed horrified lol. Later bf becomes a ex, I move to a new place. I start experiencing it again but allot. This time a whitish grey alien would take me sexually many times over and over from behind always. Sickest wet dream I ever had. I would feel the arousal, my vajayjay would clench up like a orgasm and quiver get so wet and I wake up after basically being raped in my sleep like wtf!? At this point I was versed in SP a bit now, it had been about 7 years since the thug SP experience. So I decided to learn to control it. By doing so I was able to experience things, see things, do things. I’d never experience awake. I started enjoying it wanting more. Not the sex or rape part, but the ability to create a dream or hallucination. It became like another portal of mysterious experiences, I could never share but with words. Lol I probably sound crazy telling this story. But its my brains work, and my willingness to want to go deeper. Lately I’ve experienced a dark Angel pulling me from my arms off my bed, I can feel his cold leather gloves tight around my wrists. I beg and plead please don’t take me! Put me back please! This one was more real than anybefore. After sometime of begging the dark Angel put my back safely in my bed. As if giving me another chance, I said “thank you Angel”. He left… That night was my first night taking temazepam. I woke Googled temazepam dreams and found Heath Leger the dark knight, and a tribute video on YouTube of his death. One of the tags was temazepam, which was in his system. F*cking crazy right! The next two were a bit twisted sexually, involving a knife, and other things. That was scary, I Googled that temazepam knife dream and found others that had experiences with it too. So crazy the sleep paralysis! I often wonder if there is more to it, a higher state of conciousness, or deeper meaning and connection to another dimension. Who knows… But that’s my story. Enjoy dream well! Sorry for my typos I’m on my cell.
