I had a really bad episode of sleep paralysis last night and it felt demonic in nature. It happens to me once or twice every year it seems. As darkness starts to settle in for the night, I’m getting scared to go to sleep in a little while. If you’re reading this can you pray for me? Thank you

Lifting you up in so many prayers.
I had a sort of attachment at one point here last year. It physically manifested enough for it to grab my leg and pull me down my bed. So. Ya.
I'd just keep invoking Jesus and God and Guardian Angels.
Be strong and steadfast. I turned my prayers into a sort of meditation that I'd repeat as often as needed. I haven't had to use it for that purpose again.
I promise they would have to take me to a psych ward if that ever happened to me. After having these paralysis episodes off and on for like 15 years, I don't doubt it could physically do it. I just got cold chills even thinking about it. The weirdest thing that ever happened to me during an episode was - I was around 21 years old and experienced something traumatic in my life. I started having the sleep paralysis in my bed at night, and it was really bad. like felt a demonic force on top of me and could see it in my minds eye. Then after a few nights, it went to wrestling and feeling like i was fighting with it. I then got too scared to sleep in my room, so started sleeping on the couch. One night it happened again, I was on the couch and had a glass oval coffee table right next to the couch where I was laying. It had a glass top and then a wooden bottom to set things on. I was having an episode, and when i finally snapped out of it, I realized the top half of my body was off the couch, bent over and to the side, and i was in between the glass top of the coffee table and the wooden bottom looking up through the glass. seriously freaked me out more than anything that has ever happened to me. like what the actual hell
You reminded me of a tool that I used to use! So, before the events above, I was plagued inside my dreams.. Real Freddy Kreuger type dreams. The entity manifested as my abusive ex husband and his mom and they were out to kill me.
((I sound like a total crazy person...))
These dreams were of the lucid variety, so I knew that it was all in my head, and more importantly, I was conscious enough to fight back, if that makes sense?
So, what I'd do is to visualize weapons to "take with me" to bed. Just visualize the items around you, or in your hands, pockets, what have you. And set the expectation that you're safe to go to sleep because you're protected. And feel secure in the knowledge that if something DOES sneak in, that you have the tools to send it away.
This is a great idea. thank you! This is why if I ever need something, I come to this community first. You guys are so smart and kind. thank you again
You're so welcome!
