i feel immature asking this..?

Question

i sleep paralysis a few times in my life but the last time i had it, it was pitch black, and i felt like something evil was watching me over my bed/ i couldnt even move a finger and it completely freaked me out!

plus when my sister was little and a little clairvoyant, she said she saw someone in our backyard in all white slowing pacing back and forth and looked like she was praying. me and my family KNOW she wasnt just making that up. she's an un-innocent teen now and she isnt seeing anything anymore.

and a few weeks ago, i was all alone with just me and my 2 dogs, it was about 3 or 4 in the morning and i hear this LOUD, deep, sad sigh by a female in the next room or backyard. there wasnt anyone there and it was too dark in the backyard to see anything. my neighbors dont have that tone of voice. i know i wasnt making it up cuz my dogs barked when they heard it.

ever since then, i've been sleeping with a dim light on. this is STUPID i know. what do i do to get over this?

Answer 1

Sleep parallysis happens when your mind wakes up before your body. Basically, you were in REM sleep. That's when you do the most dreaming. To keep you from acting out your dreams, your body parallyzes itself. This happens every night to everyone. The difference is, you wake up sorta, at least much of your mind does. All of your mind is not completely awake, however. You are in the middle state between sleep and waking. The sense that something is in your room or on your chest is very common with sleep parallysis, and it's coming from the part of you that is still dreaming. I find that if I relax instead of fighting it, the parallysis stops and I can see that there's nothing in the room.

As for the woman's voice, probably something else or more likely a voice carrying from somewhere further away than next door. Could be a lot of things like that. Cuz you had the weird sleep parallysis recently, you're probably have a heightened awareness of what's not readily explicable.

Answer 2

You sound like you have this phenomenon that some people suffer as they are falling asleep. I cannot remember what it is called, but people swear the are seeing something evil, and it is all very real to the person. You should look up sleep disorders on the Internet so you can see if this is your situation. Then maybe you won't feel so frightened when you are trying to sleep.

Answer 3

There is nothing to fear. Paranormal stuff does happen. I know. It can manifest, but is devoid of threat or power, and is not to be assumed to be of negative intent. It can sometimes focus on the sensitive, but there is no guarantee that this is what you are experiencing. Sometimes you can existentialise very deep and strong emotions, and these can seem like reality. These feelings need not be familiar to you in a fully waking state, but certainly your dogs could be sensitive to your stress. Not understanding may be making you afraid, but do not be.
