LONG POST WARNING

I figured this would be an interesting thread to make. I've dealt with SP for the past 2 years and right now, I've been having episodes every single time I wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night, every single nap, even when I dose off to class. And sometimes it's not SP, but it'll be a scary/bad dream. And it's terrifying, but I usually call on Jesus and it's over. But is there a way to stop this madness??? It's getting to the point some nights I stay up until 5 or 6 in the morning to avoid it. I shared a few of my experiences so y'all could see this is something that's truly scary and not just me being dramatic or scared for nothing.

So when I first got them, there weren't demons or ghosts or anything, would just be stuck and couldn't move. That was scary enough lmao but I would just think "Jesus Jesus" and be able to move again.

Until one night, I got it and it was 5am on a Sunday morning in August 2019. I remember this so well. I woke up, in SP, and immediately 2 demons came into my room, and they started attacking me. They were just punching me, so I was like "Jesus Jesus, HELP?!" And they were like "You really think he's gonna come save you?" So I said Jesus one more time and they disappeared. That experience lasted probably 2 or 3 minutes.

I had another one where I woke up sleeping on my left side and a demon was like hugging me from behind holding me down. I obviously couldn't turn around to see it (thank GOD cuz I would have fainted lmao) but I said Jesus a couple times and it as over.

The worst one, well there's several contenders for this spot, but the worst one recently is 2 or 3 days ago I had a dream where this girl and I were supposed to go somewhere. A lot happened but towards the end, we shook hands and I tried to let go, but I couldn't cuz her grip was so strong. She says "let's go" and YANKS me into utter darkness. She turns into a it, I recognize it's a demon again, and it lets go of my hand and somehow starts ripping my arm off. While this didn't hurt it was scary as I don't know what, and at the same time I "wake up". I'm awake while this is going on not able to move again, and while it's 5pm, my view is pitch black because I put a black blanket over my head. So in my head I started screaming Jesus and rebuking it, cuz even though I can't see it, I can still feel it. Right when it 'tears' my arm off I wake up and immediately jump up out my bed on the verge of crying. My roommate (I live in a dorm) asks if I'm okay and I just say yeah I had a scary dream so I don't look like a crazy person.

The last one, and shortest was one time I woke up on my stomach in paralysis and since my face was in my mattress I couldn't breathe. I screamed Jesus in my head and I woke up after a few moments. If I woke up less than one second later I would have died right there.

How in the world do I get this to stop? I'm tired of it 😥😥😥

Lmao , stop sleeping on your back. Or smoke before you go to sleep

Play Donda while sleeping

A doctor?

Never had it but find stories fascinating, apparently sleeping on your side is better for it

Anyone else got any stories?

I always sleep on my side so sleeping position doesn't matter

i havent even dreamt for over a year maybe more

i WANT to dream im talking normal dreams

They all say it's hallucinations and not to freak out. They are no help 🤷🏾‍♂️

Damn

You on any meds?

You smoking weed? I couldn’t dream when I smoked but they came back once I stopped, it’s pretty common.

Listen to Silk Sonic it really helps with sleep

I've heard trying to move your toes helps as it wakes you up apparently

I haven't had sleep paralysis in a few years but man callin on Jesus does get us out of those binds. I used to wake up and my body couldn't move so ngl I learned this from Kill Bill as a kid, moving the pinky toe gets me outta that.

Secondly, sleeping on your left side really takes care of those issues. At least for me. Since you know Christ, I'd pray for understanding on why it's happening bro. God bless

Apparently some ppl can move their fingers or facial muscles too, try and move whatever part of your body you can, it'll send signals and help you wake up faster, hope that helps bro bc sleep paralysis sounds terrible and I'd never wanna experience it

Had that s*** once and my mom was yelling at me to get ready for school

I thought I was paralyzed fr, but I was young so I was content with not having to go if I was really paralyzed..but it wore off. Then I got a whoopin and had to walk to school.

Lol yes I had it 3 times in one nap the other day too. And no I don't smoke

ong i used to always have sp & nightmares until i started smoking

Don’t forget I’ve seen you naked

Yeah sometimes I'm sleepy anyway so I just go right back to sleep

Sleeping on my back sometimes gives me SP so I avoid it. I don’t ever see things but whenever it happens I try to wiggle my fingers and once I get that I can normally get the rest going

My dad told me to bind those demons and plead the Blood of Jesus before I go to sleep, but sometimes I forget and every time I forget it happens lol

Used to get a lot of these, best thing to do is not resist and let the pressure that u feel do its thing, i wake up quicker cause of this

you gotta sleep on your side

Hey OP so I used to suffer from SP too and I always found what helped me the most was to have the TV going at a low volume to where you can hear it but it doesn't interrupt your sleep. I don't why but that always seemed to make the SP go away. Just something you can try.
