what you all apparently fail to realize is that I was raised, for 19 years, in a born-again christian home. I know alllllll about this stuff. I did pray, when I was younger. Nothing changed. But Christians just told me I was doing it wrong. Then they told me I was a sinner and I needed the blood of Christ poured over my head. After all, he did for me.

[NOT hypnogogia and NOT sleep paralysis, I am AWAKE, this # is for REAL].
I have regular sleep paralysis. When I have it i am awake. This sounds just like S.P. to me.
I have always sense a malevolent being either always about to open my door, or standing just out of my peripheral vision. Some people have seen something. I just sense it and have had glimpses when I was in dreamier states. Are you able to move during these episodes? I mean why not move toward it and see?
Yes, I can move. and it's not in my peripheral vision. It's not vague.
I've decided this entity Is here to help, and in an ironic sort of way, is terrifying.
My imagination is terrifying. Maybe my aura is too. Maybe I wanted a scary monster and didn't know it.
I don't believe in demons. Or angels. It's not that. If I don't believe these things, and I have repeatedly said I used to be religious, why are people calling me close-minded for saying I wont have it again.
And yes, Satanism is evil, dark, demonic. That's close-minded. Read the goddamn book for yourselves. It seems i'm the only one who actually knows about both.
So if its not a demon or angel, what is it? The only logical explanation is it’s in your mind and you must seek help from a licensed doctor.

I agree but I'm just playing logically safe.
Most but not all visions of odd people from awaking have direct medical reasons,
as you know most are people who are actually still asleep but as dreams are real to you at the time you are 100% sure you are awake.
. . .
I'm just an ordinary boring bloke...
Being a Hindu i would ask you to say a prayer before sleeping every night... Just try it ... This is a prayer to Goddess Kali
Okay, you see this post, right here? ^^^ THIS is what I was looking for. I wanted THIS

It's fear and well, I don't know how to tell you this, but you went to the wrong place for the answer on how to deal with it. Judging by your username, I am assuming you know where I am going this. I will suggest less of the former and more of the latter. Give him a try. Call out his name.
You don't have to be tortured with fear.

Whats very interesting and I would like to go more in depth with you on this subject, that you remember things from when you were 2.5. You see my entire childhood I felt like I was visited at night. Never sleep paralysis like what some people have told me. I was actually walking around and wide awake. I've been interrupted in the middle of these episodes by friends who were sleeping over, my brother, parents, etc. I'm not sleep walking either because these episodes are again, of me being sound of my body mind environment. There have been times where i have felt completely petrified and was not able to move, this was out of complete fear for my life.
Back to the interesting part for me though...I can remember things from a very early age. I'm talking 1 year old. I know that seems weird and most of you will be skeptical, but it is what it is. I've also been told by family how beyond my years I was when I was younger. My sentence formations were way ahead of my time. My 3rd Christmas I explained to my father and uncle how I thought the spine sent messages throughout the body from the brain. In preschool during play time, I pretended that I was the author and illustrator of the Babar books. I explained as if i were being interviewed my reasoning and concepts for writing the books. When my 2 year old sister passed away when i was 5 years old, at the funeral home I asked family if they would like to all sit down and talk about how they felt and ways we could move on from this tragedy. Not your typical child. I'm not in any way a genius or have some high IQ. I've always had questions about my episodes with the Visitor, but have yet to find someone who had the same processes and situations as myself.
Flash forward to my life now. I rarely have an episode, I live a normal life, but my dreams have taken on a new meaning. I feel lucid dreaming doesn't fully explain it. Out of body experiences are close, but no marbles. These dream episodes are where I find the Visitor now. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. However i always find myself trying to escape back. I explained to my wife a few times while we were dating what i dealt with. It of course freaks her out, but she believes me and tries to understand. She recently watched the movie Insidious with several of her girlfriends and she immediately started questioning if some of the events in the movie was how i saw things, so i watched it. I wouldn't say its the same exactly, but i feel like there are some things that worry me.
To sum it all up, I'd like to post my own topic as well as talk more through private messages on some more detailed experiences and if maybe we have more in common than we think. I also would love to hear from some of you guys as well.

I absolutely agree with this.
Also, enough of the evil/good nonsense. Put your religious faith aside and try to understand it. Yes it has a form, it cannot avoid the form it has. it is what it is, and for some reason it has taken a lifelong interest in you. It smiles PROBABLY to help put you at ease. it is constantly picking on you probably to get you used to its presence.
Look, If it wanted to destroy you it would have done so long ago. Also your "higher self" is 99% likely to be the fear in you making up a fiction of what it actually is. Your fear is a very basic fear of the unknown. Your mind naturally fears what it does not understand. Understand it and end your suffering.
It is EXTREMELY rare that humans ever understand visitations like this purely due to their irrational reaction based on ignorance. Even the elusive "shadow people" are not understood, but simply labeled by religious nutjobs. Don't be a nutjob. Call it out and confront it.edit on 30-4-2013 by Ewok_Boba because: (no reason given)
