The only conclusions i can come too are either you have some serious mental problems which make it difficult for you to determine reality from fantasy, or you like to make up stories to garner yourself some online attention. Either way, you should get some professional help. These things aren’t real, and none of what you have claimed could have happened.
The good news is, nothing is coming into your house. The bad news is, that life is hard, but, the more you educate yourself, the easier it becomes.
I don't normally do this, but I found your post to be overly rude. Where is your proof that this stuff isn't real? That none of this happened? Where's your medical degree to even suggest mental problems?
lol. I can tell you don’t normally have these discussions, because you would know that the burden of proof is with the person making the claims.
I have to prove that his rediculous claims didn’t happen? But you accept his claims that shadow people are real without asking for proof?
Especially, knowing that there are several mental issues that resemble exactly what he is claiming.

My "hallucination" caused pelvic trauma that I was diagnosed
with months after the incident. I gave birth to a baby that was
born feet first,I didn't dilate,I ripped.I didn't suffer pelvic trauma
from that one but I did the other.Go figure that one out!

Have you ever experienced this yourself and speak from
first hand knowledge? If not,you are only parroting what
others' have said or posted.

It’s sleep paralysis...not some paranormal creature. He/she was still asleep but their mind was in a half asleep state. Their thought process was turned off and it allowed hallucinations to manifest from that.
Taking codeine has a possible side effect of guess what? Hallucinations! Shocker!
Sleep paralysis is a fairly common occurrence that afflicts many people. It is most commonly explained as a feeling of being paralyzed while lying in bed, during which time auditory and visual hallucinations will also occur. Some people see human-like figures and even creatures, and they will hear voices or other strange, unsettling sounds. Far more intense than your average nightmare, sleep paralysis experiences can deeply terrify and disturb sufferers, as you will see in these 28 accounts of sleep paralysis, compiled from a Reddit thread.

Around lunchtime I still felt no better so I took myself back off to bed, but I didn't sleep. After an hour or so I became aware that something had come into the bedroom behind me from the window area.

I see your angle but I was working on the assumption that that the OP had not fallen asleep, as per the quote:
Around lunchtime I still felt no better so I took myself back off to bed, but I didn't sleep. After an hour or so I became aware that something had come into the bedroom behind me from the window area.
Unless of course the OP was in the process of falling asleep or just nodding off without realizing, which could induce SP of course.
I still have my own personal opinions about S.P and what is actually happening, as I'm sure many other people have their own thoughts and opinions.
I'm just glad the O.P is safe and appears to be strong willed enough so as to have some control over the situation.
I have the exact same experience with consciousness as you do, so I don’t know why you would think you know more about it than I do.

you obviously have 0 knowledge of consciousness, or spirituality. You show pride in ignorance. Millions of people have had similar experiences including myself (many, many countless times)
Whether these experiences happen in ones head or not is beside the point, it is an experience that happened to someone. They are not crazy, they are just unfamiliar with what has happened.
That is the whole purpose of asking ATS about these experiences, because absolutely no one i know in real life has ever experienced the things I have, and has no answers to the questions we are looking for.
So thank you to the members of ATS who are genuinely trying to put the puzzle pieces together. (not you woodcarver)

... I had my eyes closed and I heard something/one in the room moving behind me ... I was conscious and I tried to move but I couldn't ... I could see its fist on the bed in front of me ... I could see the end of a sleeve near its elbow, green, dark green ... its presence in the room had paralysed my physical body...
...Then i tried to open my eyes and it was so difficult, i could feel this creature was trying to keep me from opening my eyes because it knows as soon as i do open them, it loses its control ...
