nanizle:You think this world is just as plain and simple as science paints it -- it's deeper than that. There are a few ways people get access to knowledge and explain natural phenomena -- science is just one of these ways. Other means also exist, one of which is spirituality. You don't really have to believe in supernatural accounts to validate their candour. That one does not believe in the existence of spirits has no modicum of effect on their form of reality. Isn't the notion risible that only humans inhabit the universe as unimaginably big as it's? |

nams77: Don't get me wrong, I am as spiritual as they come. I say my prayers and I love my God. But, come on...if some spiritual entity was really out to get you, would it come to your room only to scare you for a couple of minutes and just go away? It comes to kill, steal and destroy not play pranks like 3 minutes of paralysis. 4 Likes |

Azil:My dear, I am am wary to discuss such with some people because they are blinded by unbelief. They term people like us ignorant, unschooled and deeply fetish. But as a scientist who believes in empirical facts tested by stringent and rigorous analysis, I have come to believe that there is another side to this life we live. We may not be able to prove this by scientific test, but not knowing about something does not mean it doesn't exist. Now to your point. They don't come to play with people. They come to deposit hardship, ill luck, missed opportunities, sickness and terrible syndromes like promiscuity, stubbornness, spirit of stealing e.t.c. making someone paralyzed and unable to move makes for a smooth operation. Someone once asked, why don't we see them? Well if they allow you to see them, then you will be on your guard against them and up your defense. I am not forcing anyone to believe, but we will all find out someday |

It's definitely spiritual. When I was serving I shared a lodge with two other female Corp members. Mind you, I am very spiritual conscious either through dream or discernment but I am not a hopeless fanatic. As soon as I started staying there, I experienced the most terrifying and longest sleep paralysis encounters, hearing and seeing various unexplained things. Some nights I encountered it a shocking 5-4 times a night, I was scared to go to sleep at night. The funny thing was if I switched apartments, I wouldn't experience anything as such. Like I said, I have a special gift when it comes to dreaming. One night in my dream, I heard a voice tell me that one of the girls I shared the apartment with is possessed and does astral projections to just torment me spiritually. Funny thing was I had a firebrand Christian friend at NCCF, one day he walked up to me and told me same thing, I was shocked, it was ministered to him when praying, he advised me to park out but also told me it happened because I was spiritually weak. He said they dare not try it with someone who is fervent, I was engaged in various sins, hence my dark soul. I parked out and till I finished serving, I didn't experience even just a second's encounter. From what I noticed, personally and from people experinces, sleep paralysis is done by mostly people, witches and wizard and to some extent a bigger problem, principalities. There's no scientific explanation for a phenomenon that only happens when you sleep face up. Or a dejavu. Most scientists are Satanists or atheist(Steven hawkings), so will come up with anything to support their beliefs. There's always an alternating part. Back and front, black and white, liquid and solid, good and evil, physical and spiritual, light and darkness. please OP , don't let people loose guard over what might be a spiritual attack. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Omoluabi16:There is nothing metaphysical about it. What happened to you was that your mind woke up earlier than your body and thus your body was still tied down in the sleep mode which meant that you couldn't move, scream or do anything. Body and mind have to work in sync to achieve physical movement, one was present and the other was not. That's sleep paralysis. |

Unclerukus:May God bless you. I have gone through all the comments here and I think everyone has right to his or her personal opinion. The spirit world exists and we should all be aware of it. I personally have experienced this issue several times as a little kid and occasionally while growing up and I can state categorically that they were spiritual attacks. To those who are Christians on this thread and believe in Jesus, never stop to pray. To those who are scientists; keep on trusting in your scientific explanations. However, I pray that you do not experience what will shake your conviction when it is too late. Peace to all! 2 Likes |

Divay22: Thats same with me too, infact it normally run in the family, some ppl claim not to have witnessed it, Whenever it happens to me i simply can hear ppl talking arnd me even laughing but i cant wake up, at some instances i will be wishing the just come and touch me so i could wake But i hv gotten used to it, i simply fall back to sleep, or i try simulating my toes to make me wake It normlly happens when i sleep very late then am too tired to wake up hence the paralysis, or when i sleep facing up. There is nothing spiritual about it, i fully acknowledge am on sleep paralysis though it may seem as if i am dreaming, but i cant just move out of d bed unless someone touches me. The worst i had was during my boarding school day, my friends were gisting beside me ,i can hear all the said and was even talking to them to please come and wake me, but they werent hearing me i was simply talking to my mind, but immediately the school bell rung out loudly that disturbed me enough to wake me. |

charliboy654: I never had wet dreams growing up Believe the op at your own peril, there is no reason I should believe I've not been pinned down by some forces when I'm awake and acutely aware of my environment yet not able to move, not even to open my eyes. I feel hands applying pressure on my limbs, I hear discussion and sometimes mocking laughter. Can you explain why this phenomenon happens so frequently in some environment more than others. There must be a good for evil to exist, for the physical to exist there must be a spiritual and if you acknowledge the existence of God you invariably admit the existence of the devil 1 Like |

Sleep paralysis occurs when ur mind suddenly wakes up from REM sleep, but ur body is still paralysed. Ur body is paralysed to protect u from acting out your dreams n injuring urself when u sleep. Normally, ur mind wakes up gradually from REM sleep, so ur body wakes up gradually too. But when ur mind wakes up suddenly, ur body takes more take to wakeup and is temporarily paralysed. That interval is when village witches, incubus, succubus etc presses u on d bed, depending on ur fertile imagination:p 1 Like |
