I believe it was the power of the devil. The devil wants to destroy you. Pray often, God has let you feel this to let you know of the forces of hell against you.

I don't believe it was your imagination. Most I believe experience the presence of evil, the devil sometime in their life. I am a Christian, I too have had things happen . Back in the 80s I experienced something I had no understanding of... after talking to my Pastor and another elder at church,and now through the years have only come to realize the spiritual warfare I now can see others go through and God shows me how to pray for their deliverance.<><
Jean has a good point!

I've had the same experience. I attribute it to what is known as "night terrors". My body became unable to move due to the fear I had that something/someone was in the room with me. Typically, it happens when I have a realistic nightmare that blends seamlessly into my waking thought. For example, I might have a dream I went to bed, then a killer came into my room and woke me up with a noise he made in my closet of something. By that time, I'm really awake but still believe the killer is lurking in my closet because there was no discernable point where I really woke up.
Messed up stuff, I tell ya.

There is a condition we all go through between sleep and REM (Rapid Eye Movement /deep) sleep each time we go to bed at night. When we reach REM sleep, our muscles are at the mercy of our subconcious or lower brain. Back when man was in primitive times this mechanism kept him from falling out of the trees or rolling over the rim of his cave killing himself accidentely during sleep. It kept his dreams from taking control of his muscles and causing him harm. Sometimes when we feel this deep sleep coming on us in our minds we feel it is some dark force that is pressing us and we sometimes panic and feel we are in danger and try to will ourselves awake because we feel the loss of control. It's frightening. Don't worry. It's normal and nothing to worry about as long as you know it's only your body entering from normal sleep into deep sleep. It's scary when we don't understand it. Hope this helps.

The demons are real. Satan has lied to mankind and one of his favorite lies is that he doesn't exist.
He is misleading the entire inhabited earth.
If you are delving into the spiritual world and are curious about the dark side...STOP NOW.
Pray to Jehovah God for protection and strength to pull away. Resist the devil and he will flea from you.

sounds like sleep paralysis. alot of people experience feelings of being unable to move, or being around something evil. don't fret, this is common, and there is nothing evil. in fact sometimes you can actually have an out of body experience when you relax into the paralysis

Cut back on the late-night pizza binges.

perhaps you need to try some calming and positive meditation before going to sleep at night.

Your prayer kept you from evil. Command the evil spirit to leave in the name of Christ Jesus from Nazareth.
