Hello, I am Daniela from California and I am about to tell you about some very disturbing dreams that I have often. Lately once in a while though. I have heard of sleep paralysis and have read about it and how they say that it is actually “demons” trying to take your soul, or about the “old hag” and all sorts of names in which this could be. Well, whatever it is I have had my share of hallucinations during this half awake, half asleep state, and let me tell you, they are very creepy and disturbing.
One of the scariest ones I have had was when I saw a fat old headless woman at the foot of my bed, and she was moaning in a very creepy way holding her head in her hand. She was wearing a white apron stained with blood.
Another scary one I had was as I was lying down on my back, paralyzed as you know this happens during sleep paralysis, I opened my eyes as far as I could and saw a corpse lying on top of me! It was green and grey in color and had a green light glowing out of it. It was a woman and she had long hair like mine and a dress on.
I have had many of these dreams, a lot, and I can go on and on about what I have seen. Like one day I was taking a nap in my room, and I went into that dream state again, this time I saw a tarantula crawling on my ceiling! I wanted to scream and run but as you know, you can’t move. So I just watched it walk across my ceiling then fall on my chest! It was crawling up to my ear then my mouth it was horrible! I tried to “snap out of it” and forget about it.
Another time I saw a “butcher man” lying on his stomach next to me on my bed, he was just there, smiling at me, with his uniform all stained with blood. Every time I opened my eyes he was there. Then he vanished.
The most disturbing ones I have had, and are stuck in my mind still are the ones with the “demons” in them. Those frighten me and I want to know why I have them a lot. As I was sleeping one night, I once again went into that state and heard a growling sound coming from the foot of my bed, I didn’t want to open my eyes, I was freaking out. As I heard it get closer, I shut my eyes tighter. For some reason I wasn’t scared of my other dreams as much, but this one, this presence I was feeling and just the noises it was making made me know that it was something evil, something that I didn’t want to see. But there it was getting closer until “it” was right on my face. I can feel its hot breath on my mouth, and then it was kind of laughing and growling, then its “drool” or saliva whatever it was dripped on my mouth and cheek! It laughed again and I wanted to scream. Then snap, I snapped out of it shaking and breathing really heavily.
I want to let the people out there that have this sleep paralysis know that it is all the same, as you go into that state, it feels like something heavy is sitting on your chest suffocating you, I have had that many times and it is not pleasant at all. Especially as it was happening I saw a “little demon baby” pounding on my chest really hard and really fast. Super disturbing may I add!
Another one of the dreams I have had that sticks with me most of the time is of “the man in black.” I call him this because he is wearing a suit and cape and hat, and I cannot see his face or make out any features at all, only the outline of him and I can see that he has a suit, cape, and top hat on. As he is coming closer to me, I start panicking, thinking that he was going to hurt me. I was trying to snap out of the dream, but he was getting closer to my bed, went around it, and leaned right into my ear and whispered, “help me” then bam, I woke up.
There are too many of these dreams that I’ve had, but it will take up too much time to tell them all, I still have them, and most of them are very creepy, confusing, and disturbing. Many of the disturbing ones include “demons” and creepy looking girls with hospital gowns standing next to my bed or at the foot of my bed. But anyways, I want to know how I can stop these dreams and what they mean. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Woa! Do you always experience this or since you moved to a new address? sugest you research the house history, os you can make some sense of whats going on there, and decide from there on what to do with your place.
my mom goes through the same thing
i can relate somewhat, i used to be on certain anti-depressants that would give me very disturbing dreams. i mean they were very violent and bloody and even painful and when i would try to run away, i couldn’t and i would have the hardest time trying to wake up, like my body was being held down. well needless to say i took my self off of them, i couldn’t get the doctor to believe all the side effects that they were giving me. but that is just what happened to me in my dreams. i hope your not on any heavy meds. otherwise i honestly can’t tell you what to do. try staying at a motel or some place different sometime and see if your dreams change, i sincerely hope so for the sake of your sanity GOOD LUCK DANIELA!!! i hope to hear back about how your doing honey!!!
Do you have these dreams even when you sleep over other people’s homes?
How about ur car ?
That is absolutely horrifying! I can’t even imagine that! My heart breaks for anyone who goes through this!
Have you thought of maybe having a sleep study done?
Talk to your parents, they are your best ally right now. You can not keep suffering through this. It sounds terrifying. I wish I had an answer for you. Maybe even keep a bilble beside your bed. Good luck! I wish you peace.
My ex suffered from that.
I can somehow relate to that…I once had a creepy expierience when I was about 7 or 8. It’s something that will always haunt me.
Just wait for explanation about that. I have something good for you for that..
woah…I have no idea what you could do about it. maybe talk to your parents…? or friends…?
Hey I have had the same problem.. I know what that feels like .. It happen so much I that I even tried to stay in my dream longer just to see what it means… But the further I get in to my dream it feels more real and I force myself to wake up.. I have not had it in awhile but the next time it happens I am going to in my dream no matter what .. I’m going to find out what It means.. I will keep u posted
I have the same problem… usualy when lying on my stomach, I will then wake up, at least i think I am, then a guy will come busting through the door with a knife trying to kill me.. same as a figure above you that wouldnt let you move..sometimes you would get yourself shot and see yourseltf bleeding and you cant wake up still feeling it. I even wondered why some dreams I get shot and I would just wake up. this is different. you feel fear and pain and all you can do is force yourself to move and wake up. finally I snap out,again, thinking im awake, I would get out of bed just to find out that im being attacked again. i think this wake-up-and-dream-again state will repeat for 3 times until I actually wake-up.
I checked wiki and study shows this happens twice in one lifetime. I even lost count on how many I had.. LOL… Maybe I’m special… I would have these attacks usually weekends when at home, atleast two attacks per sleep max 4 and at least once and max two per week.. I dont experince this in my boarding house. just at home… Recently experienced it once outside of home. I think this is just a sleeping problem.. but its really scary, you wake up and feel normal again.. panics attack three to four, morning.. One thing I noticed was, when was dreaming, i checked the clock and its 3am.. I woke up and and it was the right time.. weird..
My brother and I went through the same thing you are going through but only when we both lived with our parents…and I had it only a couple times at my dorm but most were when I would come back to visit my parents…I HATED that feeling but I never saw anything just felt the presence of something and the last time THANK GOD AND KNOCK ON WOOD was a little over two years ago when I visited my parents and I was 81/2 months pregnant and it was actually the worst one ever it was almost like it was saying it’s goodbye in a really creepy way lol…but my life did change drastically after my child was born so maybe you might need a BIG change in your life and I don’t mean have a kid…but just as an example a big move or something like that.
I have these happen to me as well, among other things. I even wake up with marks on me that fade in just seconds after waking up. I also wake up still physically feeling what happened in the dreams. I ]
“wake up” about 3 times, before actually waking up.
I’ve had 2 or 3 outer body episodes, where I get up out of bed, then feel strange & turn around to see my body still lying in bed.
I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea in 2003 & have used a Bi-Pap machine since then when I sleep, but these things still happen to me quite often.
I would assume these things happen because I have some psychic abilities. Nonetheless, it is scary to experience the “night teoors”.
I have had 2 sleep studies done which show nothing other than I quit breathing in my sleep several times. I’m thinking of trying for another sleep study where they specailize in these paranormal issues rather than medical issues. Maybe see a parapsycologist.
Good Luck with solving or at least understanding your issue.
i have had the same problem now for 4 years, i hallucinate nearly every night and now in the day to. doctors are trying to figure it out as i also stop breathing and my heart palpatates. my normal ones are of a little girl in a vicorian dress and for some reason she wants me to follow her so i do. i have thespide ones where there swinging off the celings. i have faces coming out of the airing cupboard and of faces at the bottom and side of my bed. recently i have been pinned down to the bed although mine was a bit different than yours. mine felt like it was touching me sexualy and i couldnt move no matter how much i tried. this has been the worse so far…… last night was fairies coming out of the celing….the doctor asked me if i was an addict or ex addict but i can honestly say i havent ever taken drugs…. she gave me temazipan today to take for 7 days… i hope this works or its sleep clinic next
Daniela,
Have you ever tried journaling these dreams? Maybe writing them down might help you discern some sort of pattern, like the day, time, or some other factor. If you try this, make sure you write down your state-of-mind prior to going to bed, things you ate or did prior to bedding down, and the time/day of the occurance.
Sometimes seeing the pattern that exists, assuming there is one, will empower you in some way.
Hey, i came from Philippines. I know aBOut ur experience coz i also had like those before. But now, it all vanished. I just always pray. And go to church once in a week. I also stop playing the ouija board. I know how it feel, so terrifying to saw strange things in my room. I dont want 2 hapPen again to me, so i ask for GoD’s guidance. It works 2 me.
The first time I felt the paralysis was 9 years ago. I was 21 and had spent the first night with my boyfriend of the time. Then in the morning I heard someone knocking at the door, but I couldn’t move to open it. Usually, I can never open my eyes
This has happened many times and I often dream I’m choking in my sleep. But last week, I felt the paralysis and felt something was lying on me (I was sleeping on the belly) and I tried to move in vain. Then i managed to open my eyes. Looked left and saw this black creature with hemispheral glass eyes on me. I struggled to mouth “who are you?” and it disappeared and I could move.
I don’t know the link but the place where I live is known to have some weird vibes (loads of cemeteries, catacombs, very very old churches. My apartment is 400 years old.
The night this happened to me I had been doing “metta meditation” of which purpose is to send good vibes and love. That particular night I really felt the good energy coming in and out, so…
This are out of body experiences. Either coming back into body or soul trying to leave. Creatures are just a manifestation of fear. Read some books on the subject and you won’t so be frightened. Though i read books and actually went in my out of body state into another room in my house and bumped into our dog who had been dead for two years. But even so, later, i still had the scary part happen. It usually happens when you do something out of your ordinary experience/out of your usual habits. I found sleeping on my side helped for them not to happen. But if you have enough consciousness…try not to be afraid. Easy to say..when it starts to happen to me…i do everything in my power to wake myself up.
i had this happen to me two times within a month’s time. i was living in mystic, ct (very old town, and famous as some or most of you would know about it) my fathers house was very very very old…. well not like 400 yrs old or anything but built in the early 1800′s and was originally part of a bed and breakfast. i urged him to do further research, and if i had the money to do it now i certainly would. but mine would occur when i was in my room (a VERY small room as opposed to the others in the house) i would be lying on my back both times when it happened. the 1st time, i just couldnt move, could only look around by moving my eyeballs, my neck wouldnt move. i couldnt even pull the blankets over my eyes. i was soo scared! i was only 13 at the times. i didnt see anything that night or hear anything when it happened. but the second time it had happened, i felt as though it was an out of body feeling. like i was on the ceiling of my room looking down at a doctor who was performing surgery. he had all these tools, and scalpals. it was very scary. he didnt see me, and i couldnt see who he was operating on, but it was just him and the patient in the room. but when he went to look at me, i woke up. it was very strange, and i wasnt scared anymore, but more curious as to find out the history of the house. i am now 23, with a child, a boyfriend, and once again living in an old mill house. nothing has happened yet, but i do feel there are some presences in my house
they are good tho, i like to think. when i hear stuff that normally people would be scared of i just talk to them. tell them to stop, its annoying. it doesnt scare me, but i like my family to be at peace.
I’ve had 2 sleep paralysis experiences. Once when I was 12 and the other at 15. Both experiences were exactly the same. It was early, around 7a or 8a. I woke up feeling scared but for no reason. I could not move or speak and I felt very small. I could hear people whispering and laughing in my ear. I could only move my eyes and I could see my sister sleeping soundly next to me. I could not speak but tears were streaming down my face as I wept silently. When I finally had control of my body back I screamed for help but help from what I did’nt know. As a small child I had night terrors and night visions. The night terrors were disturbing of course but the night visions were amazing! One particular night terror was at 5 yr old. I had a nightlight in the wall at the foot of my bed. I woke and saw a womans hand moving back and forth as if looking for me! I pulled my legs up and kept moving farther up as the hand kept reaching closer and closer. I finally could’nt take it any longer and screamed for my parents. They swore it was only a bad dream even though I knew I was definately awake! I still believe it was very real. At 7yr I had a night vision. I woke and saw a choir of angels singing and then a white dove flew over me dropping sparkling dust from it’s claws and then disappeared into the wall. Not long after that vision my grandfather died. I dont know if there is any corelation to my vision and his death but I will always wonder.
I remember having 3 total experiences; yesterday I had the strongest of all. I’m post this after a Google search and I’ve read other’s stories. My dreams are almost similar, can’t move but not having full awareness of the reality. In fact I realize that I’m half sleeping, half wake up, and someone of something is pulling the cover sheets very slowly out of body. Next, something like daemon or entity is approaching me but no details. Yesterday I felt the sheets pulling out from bed leaving my body exposed, then I remember the presents of a white dress probably of some female entity sitting on my body. I barely remember some patterns of the dress like stripes or stars but nothing more. After a second I regained control of my body and I realized no sheets were pulled from bed all were just a dream. It’s a very dramatic experience and the all concept leaves me a bad and horrify feeling.
My friend told me about this today… it sounds REALLY freaky…
No one finds the hat man, silhouette guy interesting? Look up shadow people. That image is very common. I used to see him out of the corner of my eye all the time when I was a small child and then later on in life, I had to endure these demonic sleep paralysis episodes. I think there is obviously a connection. I think the point of these attacks is to make us fearful and wonder all the time. “Will it happen tonight?!” “I don’t want to go to sleep.” They want us to feel helpless and despair. Give it to God and be peaceful. That’s what I did. I let go of the fear and haven’t had any more experiences. That and I finally realized, why would demons want to bother me if I just used the name of Jesus to send them back to hell every night? Jesus is not a magic word. You just have to have faith that the power of Him will do as the bible promises and drive them away. May God be with you. I know how horrible these experiences can be.
I have the same nightmares, I always start praying to myself in my sleep and I always wake up,it works!
Ya i agree with Night Cat it probably has something to do with the house.. because ive recently moved out of my old house, that my family has lived in somewhat a little over 50 years.. And a whole lot of family members died there… And both my mom and my older sister have had paralysis hallucinations, my mom had one after getting out of a usual huge ass fight with my farther, i believe she was she was sleeping and these two people were sitting next to her bed and like everyone else she was couldn’t move nor speak and they kept asking her if she wanted to pass on to the other side, if she wanted to die… she woke up later.. i believe i was staring at her while that happened cause it was a long time ago i was like 7 and still slept in her room.. And was woken up… Also i saw my sister, paralyzed in her bed once with a really scared impression on her face that really worried me.. a few minutes later she looked at me and was completely terrified and was telling me that their were demons all over her bed jumping on her and pulling at her hair….. It was really weird and that house had very creepy things about it.. my friends were scared of my house cause they claimed to have seen things pass by and stuff… and i believe same happened with me D: but since we moved out, no more weird things have been happening and…. ive felt much safer and stress free
I have seen the man in black once. I get sleep paralysis everynight. Most of the time i feel like im floating or i hear things like growls and whispers or the radio. but one night i saw the man in the back. exactily how you described. sitting on me. I was trying to scream and he leaned in closer and then disappeared and i saw a white man appear right after telling me its okay. I woke up so scared and slept with my light on the whole night.
I suffer from this too. I was at my grandparent’s the last time I had an attack, and as I moved to stop whatever was happening to me, I felt something touch my knee and leave. My grandparents have no pets and my blankets were undisturbed.
Well the same things happen to me like one night i heard a growl outside my window, then another time i heard someone in the bathtub and i also heard people whispering all around me saying shh she can hear us. I try to move my body but i can’t but i have not had on for awhile now.
I also have this prob and it follows me from house to house. It is always a demon tring to enter me. I cant move or wake up. I pray and pray and scream and tell it to leave me alone. I finally wake up, but sometime with scratches on my chest where it has tried to get inside me. It has taken up to 9 months after a move for it to find me again, but it does. I have this strange buzzing fullness in my ears before it happens. Does any of this happen to anyone else? It is so horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been got by this since i was 4 its more then just a dream,a friend and i stayed in an old house for 3 nights a few years ago and we were both got by it all 3 nights my friend had never even heard of it until then,the people of older times were right about 2 things (A) There is 2 different kinds male and female and (B) in the old days a few hundred years ago people would put blue things around their babies to keep away evil spirits,they mostly did it with boys because they were thought to be of more value to the family so blue became a boys color there is no record as to why pink is used its just a girly color i think anyway i now use blue sheets,pillow cases and even blue curtains and i have not had a problam with IT since trying this,my advice is try it.
