Sleep paralysis, aliens, and shadow entities

I could see being called a nut if it were just one or 2 of us who have seen these things...but after this thread and other forums about them I know better.
And just to clarify, I was seeing these things long before I read anything about them but I thought it was just me and my own personal nighmares.
Apparently many of us have seen them. That tells me something.
A storm is coming.

I had this happen once, it seemed very real, and very terrifying. It felt like a huge weight held me in place.

I said a prayer, and it vanished. I could then move. I was soaked in sweat. It has never happened since.

They must be demons then if they have a desire to possess the human body. Demons are deeply regretful that they can't have a body but humans can. In my religion everyone who agrees with Gods plan is allowed to have a body and go to earth and learn and experience things then eventually if they do their best to do what God asks of them and be good to others then they can be with God. It is said that God even had a body once. However, certain children of God and Lucifer did not agree with God's plan and therefore are cast out of God's presence for all eternity and can never have a body. This is why they desire to take it from us. I saw one of those buggers running around once. Wasn't a shadow, just a small tranlucent thing that looked like a baby standing upright.

Was there any mention of how they take posession of a body? More specifically, why would they need to use paralysis to enter a body? Is it because they can be grabbed physically or maybe there is a way to destroy them by being able to physically do something?

I get the impression that there is only a certain "moment" that they have to wait for before trying to enter. Right between sleep and waking is when they pounce.

I think sleep paralysis is bs. I move around all night while sleeping and dreaming an so doesnt my girlfriend. The only time sleep paralysis comes is when its induced by the shadow entities and then they jump on me.
But I've learned to break out of the sleep paralysis right before they jump, and I always find I wasnt sleeping.

Anyone with a similiar experience?

I could imagine an old person getting a heart attack if this happened to them.

Interesting topic indeed. If only I had the desire to elaborate my stories in finite detail. But I don't. By now I have become a bit protective of my stories, especially any strange metaphysical ones. I will share a little however, as I think it may be beneficial to some. Its a bit "woo wooic" but I experienced it so in my world it is real.

I used to practice OBE, starting around age 14. I became proficient at it by 16. One of the key components of OBE is a state similar to "sleep paralasis" where the body becomes so relazed it is practically numb. There are many other sensations and whatnot, but this is a part of the experience, where the experiencer disassociates themselves form the body. That part should be in bold, disassociates from the body.

I know of many types of entities. These ones that you are calling Shadow Entities well your title is ...inconclusive. You could more accurately define them as "Powerful men and women who know very special techniques for assuming control of a physical body of another human". This would be a mouthful I suppose but accurate. I know I know your very evident arguement "but they are NOT men and/or women". Once the energetic essence is capable of travel (without the corperal shell) a practitioner of such arts could form themselves into nearly any immaginable or unimmaginable shape or form.

Now, I give a gift of my collected knowledge, OP you may find this very handy. When you see or suspect a nearby "strange entity or energy form" point your pinky finger at it, and in your mind (or aloud if you so choose) say "True form" with the clear intent of seeing their true form. You will see your shadow turn into a blob of "light" with a strange hue, take note of the shape and hue, humans are roundish, as are most organics... It will take them weeks to recover from this one simple maneuver (you basically "broke" their form, which they can and will repair). The entity may return, but it is unlikely, as you have made it known to them that you are not completely powerless. Also remember that the FEELING of being powerless makes you so. This could be called "the Dark side of The Secret", the very art that governments and religious institutions use for the "benefit of humanity".

Rule of thumb: Only one conciousness can have control of your vehicle at any given time. If someone steals your car, and gets into an accident, you might not be held accountable. It is not the same with your Body, as all evidence points to You.

Reccommendation: If you are plagued by these things, learn as much as you can about your abilities to protect yourself, shield yourself, and repel them. I prefer letting them taste, and see for themselves that I am not palatable to them at all, most people are quite tastey however!!

The black shadow entity always pounces on me and when I try to scream for help or move I'm paralysied, but recently I am able to break out of the paralysis right before it pounces, and when I do I am just where I thought I was and was not dreaming. The whole episode lasts only a few moments, but I have trained my body to be aware of the paralysis coming on.

Coming out of the paraylisis is kind of hard but if I can do it so could anyone.

Thats why I think its not sleep paralysis my body makes to protect me from moving around while dreaming...cause I move around while dreaming, so does my girlfriend.

Its induced paralysis, done by the shadow entities, and used to access my body for some reason. The shadow entities use it to subdue the "victim".


Since I have also had an "old hag experience", where a gargoyle looking creature was sitting on my chest looking at me, and me being totally paralysied in my bed looking at it, I have come to the conclusion the shadow entities and gargole like creatures are probably the same type of "shadow animal".

For some reason they usually only attack when I am sleeping on my back.

I used to have this happen to me all the time.

I have read a lot about it and a lot of OBE material says that your body's mind wakes up while you are still in a OBE and so your body's mind starts recording... overriding your OBE memories, it's not lost it's just forgotten for the time being because your awareness goes to your body and as you are not yet in your body, you are paralyzed until you get inside your body.

Kind of like a car alarm. Your car alarm goes off and you go to your car.

I don't think anyone can jack your body.

The shadow and light figures you see are there ALL THE TIME. Animals see them always. You only see them when you are in this relaxed state because you're mind and body is so relaxed that you are not thinking much and so your filters are down. You are always bombarded with information and your subconscious is aware of it but your conscious is survival instincts and only sees what best serves it. Kind of like selective hearing.

If I get sick, I see more shadow figures. One time I was sick and I was up all night couldn't sleep, I saw a shadow figure walk across my room and came to the end of my bed and stood there, and then it sat down and I felt the bed move like there was weight... Wasn't an evil entity, didn't sense that.
