Some say its sleep paralysis, i think not at all

Oh. odd sensations when falling asleep are common, and some, such as the sensation of pressure, perhaps gave rise to beliefs in supposedly "supernatural" activity in the past.

I have very weird dreams indeed, but luckily most are harmless (a lot of them are very surreally distorted versions of work and another places I knew) but I do not believe in "interpreting" them. If you try doing that, or worse asking self-style interpreters, all you do is invent some idea about what they might have been "about".

Dreams are fleeting flights of fancy, that is all, but thought to be side-effects of the brain's memory department doing its own house-keeping (while we are asleep so not distracting it).

I never associated the prickly pin feel feeling with it but you're absolutely right. I always feel that right before it happens. With me something black came from my bathroom,
even know picturing it its only a silhouette like a solid black mass, maybe a shadow figure and it has a tail. Im not picturing a demon though. It moves really fast and it jumped on my chest, and held me down, and i couldn't move. I just said the Lord's Prayer over and over as i tried to shake it off and wake myself up. My husband was there beside me one day when it happened i was screaming his name for him to wake me up but it only came out like a whisper even though i was yelling. Every other time it happened he was at work

I had a bad experience as a small child being tangled up in the bed sheet and blankets (older people will remember the days before duvets) and for many years, even into adulthood, I had nightmares of that recurring. The thing was that I knew I was dreaming and needed to wake up to stop the fear, but the sleep paralysis stopped me. It has happened with other experiences which have lodged in my head and resurfaced in unpleasant ways in sleep. Fortunately, that is very rare now.

Oh, besides the dreams noted above, all of my other dreams interpretations were pretty on the mark using Carl Jung's theory. Its something that has really helped me I thought Id share. Give him a google.

I DID suffer from sleep paralysis at one time. It is something most people grow out of. Sleep paralysis is when you are TRYING to wake up, and you can't.

During that period of NOT being able to wake up, you will probably dream that you are awake, out of bed, and doing something odd...like floating up above the bed...or floating down the hallway on the ceiling...or pulling yourself along the ceiling with your hands and looking in the bathroom mirror downstairs, to see if you can see yourself in the mirror...but there is nothing there.

Those are hallucinations. All people with sleep paralysis want to wake up so badly that they hallucinate in their sleep.

I've had a similar experience twice. The first times was really BAD, the second time I was better able to shake it off but not before it scared me. I believe it was an angry spirit. Mine wasn't a dream really, it was more of an experience, if that makes any sense at all.

It is sleep paralysis. I describe it like "trying to tear off two velcro strips from each other". But I have it when trying to wake up from the paralysis, not when falling asleep.

Sleep paralysis has nothing to do with actual sleep in a lot of cases. It's other things but I will not discuss here

Its the beginnings of getting out of your body, or as they call it, astral projection. A kind of half way out sensation. If you can stay conscious you can get out fully and take a look around.

we will talk on this later, as for now I going to bed ,I will p,m, you ,

have you ever stayed over night in a hospital,

I have some odd dreams sometimes but nothing even close to that

I was getting snatched at 🌃 and it was just a matter of issuing psychic threats and fighting the overwhelming paralysis inflicted. eventually it stopped completely.

No.

Was there always the same sequence and pace?

Was the talk always the same, or did the talk on night x incorporate all the other nights?

You should be able to control.your breathing and break out of it that way.
