I have experienced this in the past..and I don't really know if it's a "problem", but it is incredibly intense and scary and I wonder what it is and why it happens. Maybe some of you have heard of this or has had it happen to you?

You see, it first happened when I was very young. It was like a semi-dream/ real feeling and i was watching my dream happen in my room with my eyes open. My body was paralyzed, but real sound was echoing and i couldn't talk or move. The more I tried to wake myself up, the harder it was and I felt as if there were evil spirits, demons, or possibly Satan in my room!! My eyes would cross and blur and I couldn't snap myself out of this "dream" even though I was completely aware of my surroundings and my body was sweating profusely. When I would finally (5 minutes of struggling) break out of this, I would be shaking and scared.

This has happened several times growing up, and recently it started happening again. IN fact, last night I had a very intense night. It first happened when I started to doze off around 12am. I didn't think much about it, but I was afraid to try and go back to sleep because each time I was about to doze off I would go into this "mode" again. At one point after dozing off I was so scared and was trying SO hard to scream my fiance's name, because he was lying right next to me.. I wanted him to wake me up but I couldn't move and I started to panic. Finally I managed to let out a whisper, "Adam" and he luckily woke up. Once he woke up I was able to come to my senses and I started bawling. He didn't understand what was going on, and when I tried explaining it to him he didn't understand. he thought it was just a "bad" dream. I've talked to him about this before, but I never know when it's going to happen.

While in this "mode", the feeling of evil is so strong. I would ask Jesus over and over to take the evil from the room, because at least I was able to pray in this mode...but sometimes when I would pray "jesus make the evil leave" it would get worse.

There are tiny details that I am leaving out, but generally maybe one of you readers will have heard of this. I would appreciate any insight or someone who can relate... thank you sooo much!!

Congrats you are able to astroproject!

Most people think that Satan or Demons or paralyzing them but the truth is that you are out of your body and that feeling of being paralyzed or held down is simply you attempting to re-enter your body. The more you fight it the hard it is because you are fighting against yourself.

WOW! see i read about "out of body experiences" and i want to know so much more about it...yay! i am so glad i am not alone...

Lots of people do it and have no idea that it has a name or that its nothing evil or bad. Just relax with it! I used to know a guy who said that he used to astroproject as a kid so he could watch tv after he went to bed at night! Its a fairly common so you don't have to worry about being the only one!

This is interesting/creepy. I just talked to a woman in the office I work in and she said that her mother-in-law called it White Magic and thats he was able to tell when people were going to get pregnant and different things. Do you happen to know why I feel such "evil" things?

They are not evil. Those things are gifts from God. Did Saints not have visions and hear words from God? Don't you think its the same thing? I personally believe that anyone who has a psychic ability or anything like that has a more direct wire into the intricate tapestry of life that is woven by God. I believe god gives certain people these true gifts in order to help or simply that these people are move "evolved" then the rest of us here on earth. There is nothing evil about not in the slightest.

wow, that's interesting because lately i have felt closer to God than before. I am checking out that site now, very interesting. I was told by a high school teacher a long time ago to "wrap myself in gold" but i didn't know what that meant. I feel so shaky thinking about this. Some people think I am crazy when I talk about it, and my doctors just say "it's a stage between sleep". but thank you SO much for everything!

No problem! People think a lot of my beliefs are wacky but who cares the only person who can judge me is God and I don't think he will laugh at me
