The Entity 

documentary on SLEEP PARALYSIS. 

SDFGHJKSKDHSKH (ノдヽ)

Reblogging because I’ve had it. Only twice. But once is bad enough.

I haven’t watched it yet, I’ll watch it later, but I’m reblogging to say that this happens to me lot of times, there was a time when I had it almost every day, and it’s HORRIBLE.

OMG. I’m so sorry. Because the first time it happened, I really thought I was going to die… :S This whole thing ain’t no joke, and I’ve had it so easy compared to those people in this documentary. 

I’ve had issues sleeping ever since I was a child. Used to have the same reoccurring nightmares for years and stuff. But nothing compares to this.

I’ve had these for about 4-5 years now. Ever since I’ve been in college basically. Those who are my closest friends know about it. For a while I thought they were night terrors. And I guess they are? I’m not really paralyzed to my bed though. Once I realize I’m dreaming..I wake up and get the heck out of my room. Here’s the general low down on how this has gone for me, in case it will help other people:

Since I was little there’s always been a presence in my room, only the two rooms upstairs that I occupy, it doesn’t follow me but I have felt a presence in my dorm room a few times when I was staying there, and I had a dream like the ones I’m about to mention at a friend’s apartment. I never saw it until I was about 17 or 18. I’m about to turn 24. Normally the night terrors involve bugs, spiders mostly. The first one I had was when I was 17 or 18. I had just gotten back from college, because I usually went home on the weekends. I slept in what is now the guest room, after having this dream multiple times I moved rooms across the hall hoping it would leave. The first one was of my cellphone with neon bugs, a cross between a termite and a lightning bug. I opened up the back of the cellphone, and a ton of them came pouring out. I jumped out of my bed and ran downstairs, no one was in front of me but I kept on hitting a wall. The wall was my father, who woke me up. This happened again, but with ants crawling all over me, and I moved rooms. Like I said, to make it go away. 

The dreams always feel and look as though I’m awake. The room is the same, everything, except there are no people until I “wake up”, usually by me running into someone or someone talking to me. The third time was at my friend’s apartment, I dreamed of some type of bug, I can’t remember which, crawling on me. I woke up screaming “What the fuck!?” and went back to sleep almost immediately. Then there are the spider night terrors. I started seeing the spiders when I was 20. They crawl out from under my pillow, sometimes from under my blankets, sometimes on the walls. I can’t count how many times I’ve had these nightmares. I’ve woken up rummaging through my sheets trying to find them. My sister in law caught me trying to open the door to get away from them while she was in the room with me while I was taking a nap. All of these are very real to me, and seeing as the room is the same, I’m convinced I’m awake.

Then there is the shadow man. I don’t see the hag with him, ever. But the shadow man appeared to me a few months ago. I’ve only seen him twice in my home and once at my dorm. And three times was more than enough for me. Spiders I can handle, this guy? I can’t. When I first saw him at my home I was curled up in my bed, and at around 3am I started to stir, feeling something over me, kind of an annoying feeling like someone who is blocking the sun while you’re tanning (I had all of the lights on at this point because a week prior I had had a spider terror.) So I open my eyes, and there is this shadow figure standing so close to my bed I can only see his torso, his head was a blur, and his hand coming towards my face. I began to feel smothered. About 10 seconds in I jerked into an “awake” state and woke up on the couch. I told my mother about it, as well as the spider dreams, but she told me it was a nightmare, to go to sleep earlier and sleep with the lights off this time. She was convinced that it was all because of the lights in my room. 

The second time I saw him I didn’t give him a chance to do anything, and went downstairs to sleep. Nothing ever happens when I’m on the couch, or downstairs at all. Occasionally I will see black figures out of the corner of my eyes walk in front of my stairs. Since the smothering incident I went out and bought some sage from a local shop downtown called Books, Beans, and Candles. I cleansed the room around February, and while it worked like a charm for a few months, I’m going to have to get more soon because the feeling of a presence in my room is back again and I’ve begun having the spider dreams again.

Skip a few years back, to the very first time I saw the shadow man, and I’m at my college I tended to sleep in a messy room, because of slight paranoia and art major habits. I was drifting off into sleep with my face turned towards the wall, and the presence was there again. The college I went to is considered haunted anyways, so normally I shook off the thick presence when I walked down the halls of my supposedly haunted dormitory. It never followed me into my room, so it was pretty safe for me. I never had dreams there, I never had nightmares, much like my couch downstairs at home. It was just sleep. Until one night I turned and the shadow man was there. He just stood there really. That was the only time I had to literally -force- myself to move. It was the only time I felt the ‘paralysis’ part of ‘sleep paralysis’. Even now I’m not sure if that’s exactly what I have? I turned over, and shut my eyes really tightly. After a few seconds of that the presence went away completely. It was like nothing was there, and I could finally sleep, even though I stayed up until 5am on my computer because of it. 

That being said, I feel like all of these other people have it worse than I do. But I think it’s finally wonderful to have a name to put to this, even though so many people are experiencing the same horrible thing. I haven’t watched the full video yet, mainly because I wanted to get my thoughts out quickly on here before I forgot what I was going to say. The memories of these things will stay with me forever, that’s for sure. 

The only thing that I can say that has worked for me is sage and incense. I’m not religious, but I’m spiritual, I believe in God, and Jesus, but I also believe in Senjukannon, karma, and entities (of course.) The only thing that was able to get rid of the shadow man and spiders, at least for a few months, was me lighting sage until it smoldered at the end, with a lot of smoke coming from it. I took it around my room in a clockwise motion, allowing the smoke to come into contact with everything, not the tip of the sage, just the smoke, and asked the entities to leave, politely, almost begging. It stopped for a few months, but like I said, it’s back a little bit. I’m assuming these things like stress and anxiety, both of which I have a ton of. 

So I’m making a note to do a cleansing every time a school semester rolls around, I think this would be the most effective way to keep in balance for myself, but different people do different things. If it works for you, awesome, if it doesn’t, I would recommend going to a doctor, talking things out, and seeing what they can do to help with these night terrors. 

This has always been a pretty frustrating topic for me. I’m glad I could get it all out through this. It’s something I’ve been dealing with for a while, and for a while I called it sleep walking, night terrors, dreaming. Some people even say that I’m seeing into the 4th dimension with my 3rd eye (look up etheric spider entities.) I’ve tried researching it, I’ve tried explaining it to my parents who just laugh it off. It’s pretty exhausting. But now it’s really nice to know that I have a name to go with it.

I hope I helped someone with this?
