I just want to say first that I have experienced sleep paralysis before and I remember seeing visions and feeling intense vibrations throughout my
body. I also remember having my eyes open and super-imposed with these visions. My experience last night was nothing like the sleep paralysis I know
of.
Last night I was 'attacked' either in a dream or in sleep paralysis. All I remember is becoming conscious (either lucid in the dream or consciously
awake) asI felt something very heavy pushing down on my right side. It was something dark and I had the distinct impression that it had been feeding
on me and that I had caught it in the act. I felt it was a conscious entity and immediately thoughts of a lower-dimensional 'thing' came to my
mind.
It was like a whole portion of my vision had gone jet black even though I could see some light on my other side. I can consciously recall that this
darkness was swarming over me and I could hear a 'roar' of energy. I know this sound very well from sleep paralysis and other phenomena concerning
my astral body. This sound was coming from the darkness on top of me and not my own body. This sound was what I would imagine dark energy to sound
like and it frightened me in that regard. I do not like to use the word demonic but whatever was creating the sound was hissing and growling in an
aggressive manner.
I realized suddenly that this wasn't sleep paralysis and began struggling to push my arms out or push whatever was on top of me away. I did not began
to panic but I knew that I was being attacked. I am not in any way used to psychic phenomena or struggling with entities in my sleep so it surprised
me to recall later that I had tried to consciously fill my body with light. I closed my eyes and began focusing on pure bright white light filling my
body. I feel that I got far enough to fill some of my body with this light and that it repulsed the dark 'entity' - and this is where my memory
ends.
I recalled this attack about 20 minutes after waking up this morning. It happened to me late in the night while I was deep asleep and I still don't
know if I was awake or asleep. I feel very uncomfortable bringing up details of this event because I know that dark entities exist in the astral and I
don't want to believe that I was visited by anything like that. I am hoping it was a dream about such entities and that I didn't actually experience
this, but I know in my heart that I did
I am starting to wonder if my sharp drop of spiritual practices has allowed this to happen to me. I never
had experiences like this, or even nightmares, when I was practicing meditation and prayer. Now that I have stopped for over 5 months, I do have
nightmares, and this is one of the worst experiences I've had in my sleep. It frightens me more that I could not remember what happened after
fighting the entity off with light, and that I did not remember this event until late in the morning.
If anyone has experience with this sort of thing please alleviate my concern that this was a real attack. Thanks.
