Late at night, i feel like there is a demonic force that surrounds me and when i am in bed it attacks me. Once i have been attacked, i can't talk, scream, or move. Please tell me i am not the only one with this problem. This isnt the only reason as to why i believe it is a demonic force, i can hear it/them laughing, and when they do take over me i have reeaaly bad nightmares and wake up all sweaty. Also, when i went to the bathroom and closed the door, it felt as if someone on the other side was pullig back giving me resistance... i feel as if I am being haunted and my faith is poor right now. i feel as if i can do nothing but hope tonight is not the night i get attacked.

You are not the only one who encounter this situation. But people seldom talk about this except people from the East.

There are several ways to solve this type of problem when you feel you can't talk, scream and move:

1. Move your toe. This is the simplest method.

In this kind of situation, you feel you can't move all part of your body. But actually, you can by will power move your toe. When you start moving your toe, normally you can move the rest of your body. But you need several attempt to move your toe before you can move your body.

2. When you fell the attack, immediately remember God and recite His name in your heart (mind) many times. Gradually you will be able to recite the name of God through your mouth. When you are able to recite the name of God through your mouth, usually you will be able to move your body. In the Muslims tradition, they usually say "Ya Allah" or "Bismillah hirrahmannirahim" or other names of God when they encounter this kind of situation.

In Islam, the demonic force you have just described is usually referred to as "jinn". There are many types of "jinns". For this type, some Muslims name the jinn as the "wind jinn" as its nature is like wind, it comes suddenly and gets away suddenly like a blow of wind.

Extra note:
I have just read the topic Sleep Paralysis in the Wikipedia. I agree that maybe Sleep Paralysis is the reason for the situation we encounter. However, there is a possibility of external factor.

Answer 2

It's sleep paralysis.... no demons... sheesh!

Answer 3

it is and you must rebuke it in the name of Jesus

Answer 4

No

You can be attacked day or night by demonic forces.

Also look up "Night Terror" on the internet ...

Source(s):

A night terror, also known as pavor nocturnus, is a parasomnia sleep disorder characterized by extreme terror and a temporary inability to regain full consciousness. The subject wakes abruptly from slow-wave sleep, with waking usually accompanied by gasping, moaning, or screaming. It is often impossible to fully awaken the person, and after the episode the subject normally settles back to sleep without waking. A night terror can occasionally be recalled by the subject. They typically occur during non-REM sleep.

Answer 5

You're not; it's called "sleep paralysis." Discuss it with your doctor or shrink. There may be meds that can help.

Answer 6

sounds like the boogy man is doing the rounds.........

Answer 7

That is scary, dude. You need to envoke the name of Jesus before you go to sleep and ask Him to protect you. You need to do some serious spiritual warfare. Talk directly to Satan in the Name of Jesus and rebuke that demon and command it to leave your home. I do believe in demonic force. How long has this been going on?

Answer 8

No, it's not.

But there are perfectly reasonable medical explanations for the phenomenon you experience.

Answer 9

probably sleep paralysis, your brain can do funny things to you while you're in that half asleep, half awake state.
you're not the only one, i've had it a few times and it's quite common.

Answer 10

NO, NEVER....

Answer 11

Yes it is possible. The people talking about spiritual warfare have the right idea. Dean Sherman wrote an excellent book about spiritual warfare, the exact title escapes me just now (I'm gonna feel really dumb if the title is "Spiritual Warfare"), but you can probably just google his name and find it.

Answer 12

Yeah, sleep paralysis. I've had that before, usually at the end of a really strange dream. Your description sounds much more interesting though. It reminded me of an Iron Maiden song I haven't listened to in years. The first line is: The demons in your mind will rape you in your bed at night.

Answer 13

That has happened to me before.....Satan was choking me. Pray and he will go away instantly, he has no power over the word JESUS. This could be warning of things to come too..pray for God to put a hedge of protection around you...Satan may be trying to make you sick.

Answer 14

One time i had just this, i was perspiring like never before. I remember my Rabbi saying that if you say the prayer 'Shema' (look it up if ya want) before you go to bed your saved from feelings of presence. I'm even less religious then i was back when i was a kid and did this so you don't have to become Jewish.

What I'm saying is you can use whatever spiritual meaning and if you believe it enough your mind will attempt to persevere with this belief.

The minds a very powerful thing, if you can control it you can achieve anything in life.

Answer 15

You're not the only one that suffers this. I used to on a number of occasions. It's terrifying. I felt like I was"stuck" in my body unable to move. I would try hard to shout or wake up & I couldn't & sometimes I would feel like I was coming out of it only to be "stuck again. It is actually sleep paralysis which occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the bodily paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully aware, but unable to move. A lot of people do experience this once or twice in their lives. Maybe it's why there are people who believe they were abducted by aliens. I haven't experienced for years I believe it is something that will go away. Next time it happens try to remind yourself it is not something supernatural. Try not to panic, just relax & your body will follow your mind & awaken

Answer 16

It is called sleep paralysis. It is not a demonic force. You can only be attacked by a demonic force, if you believe in such things.

Answer 17

jeez thanks guys, if i were to answer that i would have said that demonic forces may be the cause for your distubed sleep, since that has happend to me to a good few time, but with all the explanations and the fact that they all say its the same thing, it could verry well be that..
Heck im positive it is that!

non the less, i do believe that there may be some kind of "demonic forces" of some kind of level or extent out there, (because if you belive that God exists, you better believe that Satan exist too) but im also a firm believer that for most things there ARE logical explantions most times, and if this is the case, than make use of them..

for all else, there is Jesus!!!! (",)

*********************

but if you put it like that...

let me tell you my most vivid recollection of this happening, i remeber once falling asleep and when just about to dream i had the most terrible nightmare(if i can call it so) but only wost.

i could see myself asleep on my bed, sleeping. All of a sudden i saw i monkey like being, but only uglier and more terrifying layng his hands on my shoulders and shaking me and the bed, he was chanting something i cant recollect, then another one appeard laying his hands on my middle, and joined in the chant , and then a3dr appeard laying his hands on my ancles chanting too.. i was so terrified and i jst knew it wasnt a dream anymore,in my awakend state i litterally tryid opening my eyes to see if they will vanish and i could not, i tried moving but they(this or these presences i felt) were holding me down and shaking me with such a force, i finally decided to scream and no words came out o f my mouth.. i eventually "woke up" screaming (more like just opend my eyes and could finally move and talk).. i assumed it was a dream and i went back to sleep.. but soon after i had the same dream, starting with the one monkey, sencond monkey third monnkey, i tryid once again to wake up and could not do that straight away.. when i did , i was verry freakd out, but just assumed that i might have eaten something bad, and was having nightmers now.. but the 3dr time i went to sleep and the 1st monkey appeared, i tried with all my force to wake up in vain, but as the second monkey appeared i was crying out Jesus's name to help me, and all just vanished like that.. I GUARANTEE YOU IT WAS NOT A DREAM...

if i think back i can still rmbr that cold feeling i had on me as this was happenig, and i cn feel how terrified i was, i can still feel those cold hands on me and the panic i went thru... AND THE CHANTING... THAT JUST WENT ON AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!

i never bother finding out more about that, but that's why i say, though most things can be explained, and if that is the case, than the explanation is more than sufficient, there are other instances that just cant explain such things..

anyway it all boils down to what you know and feel in your hart.. if you feel you are not right in your hart, than it is verry possible that there are deeper more spiritual meanings to these kind of "dreams" occurances (",)
