Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I’m 20 and sleep paralysis is something that had only happened twice in my life until last October 08? when I had a near death experience. There after I’ve been extremely hypersensitive to emotions put off by people around me, aka- vibes (chills, burst of warmth, cold, tingling sensations throughout your body for and extended amount of time), and unseen entities (which show up as orbs in pictures). I’ve even been with a number of friends who have seen and felt spiritual entities good and bad in my home and else where around the city I live in.

As for me, I am on no medications, have no medical diagnosis’s, and do no drugs – I used to smoke pot, but quit, because everytime I started to get high after my n.d.e it would literally feel like a gateway to hell was being opened and I always felt like bad energy was trying to possess me (messed up I know!), my friends would even comment on the awful vibe in the room.

But getting back to the subject, I’ve been experiencing sleep paralysis about 3 times a week since October 08?, and once I actually felt myself floating out of my body before I fully woke myself up. I’ve currently came to the conclusion that sleep paralysis is a result of your mind consciously waking up before you body does. Just as stated scientifically your body goes in to paralysis so you don’t act out your dreams. So I figured this makes valid sense.

Although, what science can’t prove is the onset of this. When you’re dreaming how often are you acting with free will, and dictating the outcome of your dreams, almost never right?? With s.p you often have a lucid dream upon waking and do have the choice to fully wake up and come out of it or continue to endure the experience trying to grasp and understanding for it. I’ve been perplexed by the idea that maybe is some form of an entity good or bad trying to contact me in and out of dreaming states. Or is it the chance to literally disconnect your mind from your body?

As was stated in a comment on Sleep Paralysis it is possible to self-induce a state of sleep paralysis, but would that be only possible because of the presences surrounding you? I know that I’ve only been able to induce the feeling when I’ve known there were vibes around me.

Honestly I don’t think that sleep paralysis is necessarily a bad thing, you just have to learn how to control it, as well as develop your own understanding of why its happening to you. If you haven’t accepted your own spirituality in life, then the happening of this event may seem very unnerving to you. Although, if you believe (in whatever religion you adopt) you may find the answers to your questions.

I know all of this obviously makes me sound literally crazy for those that haven’t been through it.. but honestly with the way things are going in the world today, I think it would be a mistake to let today’s social norms of society try to crush the reality of spiritual happenings. Because honestly, hasn’t only realized how more and more supernatural things have been reported in the last couple years? There’s a reason for all of this.
