I have you ever experience the night how it grows old and the roaring voices of the wind grows louder between your ceiling as you fall into the deepest gloomy realms of your sleep, you wake up between the late and dark old palms of the night and you relies you cant move as you can hear your bed cracking and sinking, and you slowly feel someone crawling slow towards you. You cant hear your heartbeat shaped by the fangs of fear but just the hunting heavy breathing close to your face from this unknown force holding you down as you try to free your self from this struggle that seems endless with your voiceless outcry

This topic of mine is about people that might have experience this during their life.
Its about sleep paralysis, its one of the most mysterious studies on the scientific ground.
But first Let me explain what sleeping paralysis,by using the scientific background and understanding of it.
Sleep paralysis is when the brain is awake,in other words you are conscious of your surrounding but you can't move at all no matter how hard you try while you experience rare forces near you.Some study show some people that experience sleeping paralysis can be linked with psychiatric problem.its also said someone that suffers from sleeping disorder like narcolepsy experience sleeping paralysis.
While your silently sleeping, you go through nrem and rem sleep,studies shows one these last for 80 to 100 minutes or less than that.first you go through the nrem state than to the rem state.Your eyes begins to move rapidly and you experience dreams in this stage.your system is shot down(muscles etc)if your mind becomes conscious during this stage which is the rem stage than you'll notice you can't move and this were people experience the horror,when you can't move is because in this stage your brain releases a chemical called ''acetylcholine'',this chemical protects us from manifesting bad movement while we are dreaming(which protects us from our self's).when we are in this fearful stage one part of the brain that is activated is the ''Emigdula'', the Emigdula creates fear

When we experience this paralysis we can see entity and shadows approaching you
Now we of this time frame aren't the only ones that has experience this because most cultures in the past of all over the world has written about this because they also has experience it
Many humans from different point in history speak of this experience and describe it as demon attacks (I am not going to detail the religious part nor the cultural part of this believe,the information is very large)this experience and knowledge has been past not for hundreds but thousands of years.if you have heard about the entity''incubus'' you know what i mean,incubus is one the character of one these entities which are describe differently in different cultures,they have many names and behave uniquely showing its not the same entity behind each of these experiences.


the rare part is,
humans experiences unique dreams,but this experience is the same in most humans who experiences it.And for alot of years,since the early cultures.

draw your own conclusion.

    honestly one of the most horrifying things I've ever gone through. Some people get this on an almost nightly basis, absolutely terrifying

      hmm..same here,i do experience this.it's very rare.
      hmm..dreams in my view,is collective memories with sound randomly intertwine constructing dreams.
      now randomness leads to uniqueness.
      hmm..now our collective memories(images) and sound are build in our brain through ''unique'' experiences.
      hmm..but if this is a dream,why do most humans experience the same kind of image and experience in this kind of event,if every human do not have the same kind of collective memories,or sound gathering to lead to the same kind of event which is sleep paralysis.
      hmm..this must be something else,that we can't explain.

    I have this and I hate it.

    I did find that sleeping in certain positions made it worse. For me it's usually only seconds but feels like forever. The worst part is feeling like I can't breathe enough because I can't open my mouth. I can see and hear and make noises if I want. I have a deal with my wife that if she hears me making noises like that that she'll push me awake. That way it feels like she's saving my life!

    I have also had experience this.. What's scary is, you can hear weird sounds during this state..

    Although most people know this as a 'Demon attack' rather than 'Sleep paralysis'
