Sleep paralysis is defined as a
temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking up, most
often occurring in people who have narcolepsy or sleep apnea. This, however, is not the truth. The truth is you are being examined by a
being far more powerful than humans.
There
are many beings that come to us. A
ghost, a demon, a guardian spirit, an alien, a shadow being. Most of the time you do not even know they
are there, but as they depart you will know.
People
often feel something heavy sitting on their chest, holding them down. Nothing is sitting on you, but you are being
held in an invisible shield to keep you from doing physical harm to yourself. Your mind, however, is not so lucky.
Without
any warning, your body falls asleep deeply and quickly. Next the being, whomever they may be, comes
in and stands over you. Your body is
covered in the shield and the roller coaster in your mind begins.
You
run from nightmare to nightmare, never being able to wake up. Nothing makes sense. Everything looks as if you are in a fun
house, distorted and out of focus. You
try to speak but some language you’ve never heard comes out. Your heart rate increases with each attempt
to escape this horrific state of mind but nothing will work. You can not move, you are asleep, and your
mind is being viewed by this being standing over you.
When
it finally ends, you are able to wake.
Sometimes your mind is so exhausted that you remain in a temporary coma,
unable to wake for a few hours as your mind and body recover. Other times you wake up before the shield is completely
dissolved, leaving you unable to move as your invader looks into your eyes,
smiling, before disappearing, causing your heart to race one last time as your
body is freed.
Why do
these being do this? That’s an answer we
may never know but that evil smile they always give, that knowing look that
they just invaded our mind, violated our sanity, and there is nothing we can do
to stop them is all the answer I need.
They are evil! They wish to torment
us! To show us the power they hold over
us.
How do
I know? A being visited me yesterday
morning.
As I
laid down to watch a movie within seconds I was passed out. Nightmare after nightmare, I was being chased
by monsters, reptilians, and I was totally defenseless. No matter what I did, no matter what I
thought, I could not escape. My weak
heart began beating faster as I went from one nightmare to the next.
I
could not move, I could not scream for help, I could not be woken up. I was a prisoner in my own mind and I was at
the mercy of this merciless evil being.
Another part of the torment I received was being allowed to open my eyes
while still in my shield, completely aware of my surrounds. I could see everything around me, including
not one but a total of three beings.
They
stood next to where I laid. One was at
my head, his long boney fingers hovering over my face, as an invisible force
held my eyelids open. Another was next
to my hips, feeding the shield that was keeping me from moving. The third was at my feet, piercing red eyes
burning into my forced open eyes, digging deep into my mind, unable to locate
my soul.
Fear
began to grow as my heart began beating so hard I could no longer breathe, my
chest felt as if it was going to explode.
The being at my feet smiled one last time before waving the other two
away. They turned their backs to me and
disappeared into the wall.
The
remaining being glided over to come face to face with me. I could feel its hot foul smelling breath, the
shadow of its sharp teeth showing through the evil grin. A boney talon finger reached out and touched
my forehead, projecting a single word into my brain, “Return.”
He
faded into nothing, releasing me from my shield. I sat up quickly, my heart still racing. I quickly ran to the restroom, turning on the
light, looking franticly for the two that disappeared into the wall. They were all gone and I had a sudden urge to
pee.
It was
as if I had just flushed out whatever invisible injection I was given to put me
to sleep so quickly. I felt nauseated
and even though I did not want to, I found myself laying back in my bed,
falling fast asleep once more, my paralysis gone.
