I figured this would be the place to post this. This morning I was having a dream about me and my sister looking at pictures from 2 years ago, it was a pic of me having a black shirt with some mushrooms on it, and we were at six flags( i dont own this shirt) then in the dream i was in my living room and was drawn somehow to my bed room, and when I get in there I fell flat on my face, and woke up instantly to something that scared me really bad. First off my fand insead of going wooooooooosh like always, was going tic tic tic tic like it was in slow motion... and I could barely open my eyes and there was this gray thing over me, holding me down and I couldnt move, and I just got all this big fear, and I couldnt move a muscle it was sleep paralasys or whatever its called, and then I remembered reading about these things and they are called Shadow people or figures, and it said to get them to stop feeding off your fears, think happy thoughts, so I did and it went away and slowly I got my strength back, but I still couldnt get up and I fell back to sleep, and woke up and told my mom, and she had been sleeping in there earlier that night before I went to bed(because she thought she was allergic to her new matress) (i slept on the couch until 8 am and my mom woke me up and told me to go to bed if I wanted, and thats when it happened after i had drifted off to sleep) well I told her about it, and she said weird when I was in there i felt this real cold sensation sweep over me... I was in there un making my bed to get in it and I started hearing things out of the corners of my room, and I am afraid to go back in there and go to sleep, what should I do? how can I get these shadow people out? thanks
NatureFreak412, whatever you draw into your experience, big small dark or bright - all it will do is ask you to change and it is like you are calling out for it at the same time, out of the need to know the mystery of life that you feel like being somewhere out there, far and vague like the shadows and not really tangible. And still it is right here to touch you even if it comes as straightforward as an old matress and maybe this is much more frightening than anything else that you feel is apart from you. But you are part of it, no more and no less, and this is all there is. You are the stranger and mysterious being yourself, as much as the others around, be they shadows or not. And maybe this is not really about getting them out, but about just getting them in, and just love them. So now as getting the thrill is kinda tool you have choosen just be aware and take your tool as something not really bad or harmful, unless you want a tool that works better and wanna get rid of the old - know what you really want, and do not fear to change. And don't fear to laugh, too. And then be still and listen and go deeper. Amen ... geez a whole bunch of advices but i hope it gives you some clue.
Sleep paralysis happened to me when I was, like, 7. I'm pretty sure there must have been a spirit or two in that house, I had a few experiences there. Anywho, yeah, I was asleep on the bottom bunk of my bunk bed (I normally slept on top but my brother wanted to that night), and I woke up in the middle of the night. All I remember is looking straight out my bedroom door into the hall, seeing it filled with a blue lights, and instantly thinking that I wanted to get up and see if it was a ghost or an angel. But when I tried to move, I couldn't. i couldn't blink or breathe or anything, and I just lay there wide-eyed staring into the hall, unable to even move my eyes to a different part of the room. Then suddenyl it wwas just whap! Asleep again in an instant. I woke up and told mum, but of course they thought I was just a child with an imagination. Ugh kind of a scary thing, b7ut not half as scared as I would be if what happened to you happened to me. That's my pointless story;P But I'de agree with the last person who posted
iv actually been going through some intence sleep paralysis myself as of late...its been a constant problem for a while but lately its been getting physical...somtimes when im completly awake and not in teh paralysed state even...like 2 nights ago i had just finished meditating, i layed there thinking, was completely awake and then felt the shadow smack me on the back of the neck. this type of thing has happened often in sleep paralysis but never when i was fully awake. crazier shit happened a little later that night and last night as well...im a little lost on what this is all about. these type of things tend to happen around the same time of night. just curious if anyone can relate to what im going through or possibly had any insight about this.
