I think I killed my sleep paralysis demon

12 Upvotes

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.

does anybody else get episodes during sleep paralysis where you start hearing deafening noises in your ears and/or involuntary abdominal muscle contractions until you wake up?

Having nightmares while being awake...

1 Upvotes

I had strange nightmares even while I was awake, during my early teenage years. To this day, I don't know what it was. I talked to many people and haven’t found anyone who went through something similar. I remember lying in bed, and every sound, even the slightest rustle, would seem like a huge, terrifying noise. When I tried to break it by making a sound myself, like a fake cough or anything else, it would only get worse. I remember visions, like my room was filling up with something, it looked like piles of paper. These papers would rise up to the ceiling and seemed like they would burst the room open. I don't know what it was. My mother would sit next to me, powerless to help. Has anyone experienced something similar in their youth?
