    It's 2 AM, and my whole country is asleep and I badly need to talk, and someone to hold me. I have been out of this fucking cult for nearly two years, and I have not been bothered by demonz since then ... until now. Right.. I woke up, not able to breathe and see a thing, and I grabbed the phone to call my boyfriend, but I must have misdialed ( thank god, cuz he'd think I was nuts otherwise) and then I tried to scream, but I couldn't. I was just surrounded by this blanket of dark evil. And then I did scream and said *I ban you from my house and I will be protected by the light and by all things good* and I slowly began to be able to breathe and stuff.

    And so now I am awake, panicked, with the lights on, with my laptop in bed, and a ciggie, cuz I need one, and damn, when will this ever end?

    It sounds like you had a particularly frightening episode of Sleep Paralysis.

    Did you ever awaken and find yourself unable to move? Perhaps you sensed a presence in your room or a pressure on your chest. This is sleep paralysis.

    Hi Viv....

    This happened to me 3 nights ago..... I hate it when it happens. I 'force' myself to turn the lights on and the radio or television and to not dwell on the 'experience'.... I know it sounds corney, but I try to think of positive, happy things... then I go back to sleep, sometimes with the tv on....

    Keep yourself mentally busy until you get sleepy.... just keep posting, or whatever... take care...

    Vivamus, dear, he's right. Those are classic symptoms of sleep paralysis. Scary as hell, but not demons. Please don't worry, it'll be alright.

    Hey (((Viv))) There are a bunch of people here on this board who don't believe in the supernatural. I am not one of them. No wonder you were frightened. Something malevolent comes snooping around my house? I'd be scared too. I can't tell you how to keep it out, but you might want to PM or chat with Luna. Not sure if she has more than her own stories, but she might have some ideas. Or at the very least you can commiserate. I'll call her in a bit and tell her to jump on the board, or if you have AOL instant messenger, I can PM you her ID.

    Love ya,

    Odrade

    The horrible thing is, dreaming I was like "well I can't call on Jehovah, cuz I am dead to him, an outcast". Blech. Getting fully awake now, that laptop and cable modem sure was my line of help after I realised the time and impossibility to phone ppl. Lol.

    Thanx Else, for posting that article.

    Double Edge, yeah, I have the lights on, and all else too, can't close my eyes right now...

    Insomniac, logically I know that. Logically...

    "well I can't call on Jehovah, cuz I am dead to him, an outcast".

    You already did.... by calling on "the Light"..... I'm not going to get all religious on you... but if there is a real 'darkness', then it only makes sense that there is also a powerful, positive "LIGHT".... and that LIGHT will respond to serious requests.... imho.....
