Ok any of you heared about this, or ever experienced it? Sleep paralysis or REM-sleep is said to be a state in between being awake and dreaming, which results in hallucinations and seeing, hearing, or feeling things that shouldn't be there. Many people report feeling something evil that is near them, and even feel all of a sudden a heavy weight pressing on their chest as if someone invisible is sitting on them, and pinning them down. Many believe they are being visited by a demon, or an evil spirit. Skeptics say it is just a hallucination, or something affected by the brain.
I myself am not sure, but I had something very familar like sleep paralysis several days back when I stayed over for the night at my friends house. I remember waking up in the middle of the night. I cannot say exactly if I was dreaming or not, but the creepy thing is that I was capable of thinking, which isn't in my normal dreams. I somehow felt or knew something invisible was present. I dont know whatever it was. I didn't see things or feel something/someone pinning me down, but I remember not being able to move or speak for some reason. But in my mind I prayed and told that invisible ''thing'' to leave me alone in the name of Christ. And then I noticed it was getting weaker, and eventually it left and the experience stopped, and I fell asleep again. (most likely, because I can't remember anything more)
I'm not taking any conclusions yet, and I myself am not sure if I were dreaming or not, but I just know it wasn't a normal dream. so what do you all think about this subject?
