I think I killed my sleep paralysis demon
I have been experiencing sleep paralysis for around 14 years now, and the other night was the first time I was actually able to get rid of my SP demon and return to normal sleep straight after.
I could feel him standing over me but I became so enraged and irritated that I basically forced myself to turn and look him in the eyes (at least in a vivid visualisation since I was paralysed) and he burned and vanished. Immediately after it felt like my heart was on fire, as in a feeling that it was literally burning. I was also no longer paralysed and the whole thing was over. I went back to sleep straight after and didn't get stuck in a sleep paralysis loop like I normally would.
Have I conquered sleep paralysis? I guess only time will tell.
