Sleep Paralysis Attack

It sounds like you experienced a 'dweller on the threshold',

I would be very surprised to hear that it actually attacked you no less leave a mark on your physical body.  They are just there to scare you out of projecting and will do or say anything short of physically attacking you.

Your post did make me remember though, when I was oh...I'd say around 6-9 I had these reaccuring dreams or spontaneous projections where something would grab my back.  Hard to explain, it was like someone put their hands in a claw shape and then pushed the fingers onto my back, it was a uncomfortable feeling, yet didn't hurt.  I just knew I hated it when it happened.  For some reason, it stopped happening after those few years, I believe I had started to talk or pray to God around that time..[]

Next time it happens to you I would try and ignore it as much as possible and surround yourself in the Divine White Light, that should help.

Yes I always do this before I sleep now and at random points during the day. Thank you for responding.

Having read this it doesn't really make sense to me. I only became "aware" after his presence barged in. I wasn't trying to have any sort of astral experience I just wanted to sleep. If he hadn't barged in this way, I never would have even known I was in this state to begin with. I would have just fallen asleep.

The other experience is similar and more resembles a dweller on the threshold. The entity was a "dark being" mostly shadow in the shape of a man with a fedora on gangster style. This experience takes a little background info to be clear.

At the time I was living in military barracks and after lights out the Drill Sergeant comes in the room to do a bed check and make sure everyone is where they're supposed to be. I was going to sleep and heard the door open (a very heavy door) and boots come to stop by my bed. This is typical during bed check. After a long while I didn't hear him leaving and was confused. I turned to see why he was taking so long and saw instead this being.

He grinned ominously (how I could tell when he was shadow is beyond me) and I only had time to think, "Oh, s***" before I had the sensation of falling into a nightmare. This entity makes more sense as a threshold dweller to me because he put me (or startled me) right into a sleep state. I don't remember the dream but I know it consisted mostly of me running from and fighting him alternately until I woke up the next morning. I was rather exhausted the rest of the day. No fun in a military setting.

Wow, I had no idea that any outsider could affect a person like that before. To me it seems like some sort of astral projection in the process where someone prevented you from getting an exit..but the bruise thing, are you sure that you hadn't received it before that experience? It's strange though cause I've always thought that the physical and the astral were very separate, eh, guess I was wrong.

Have you ever seen this being ever again? Was there anything unusal that you did that led up to this experience?

I'm interested in these dwellers, haha and I wanna know how to stop them from reaching me

I wanted to post this experience because I'm curious as to what those of you here might make of it.

In about May of '03 I experienced my first sleep paralysis experience. I had no idea what this was until I related what had happened to a friend and he explained to me what sleep paralysis was.

I was exhausted after a long disappointing day and decided to take a nap in the afternoon. As I was falling asleep I became aware of a presence that entered my room. It appeared as a lanky, pale male figure with dark hair. I was very tired and queried it in an annoyed fashion, "Who are you?"

He leered at me and replied (I'm not making this up, he was this corny on his own), "Your daddy." He then put his finger to my ribs and began pressing it into my body. It was very uncomfortable and it was at this point I became alarmed. I tried to move, but found myself unable to do so. I told him to stop and that he was hurting me, but he seemed only a little distracted by my request and pressed in harder. I wanted to know what he was doing. he said something to the effect of "I'm going to make you mine," which alarmed me yet further. It hurt very much.

I panicked and called out to one of my closest friends as I thought of him first for some reason. He is a very protective figure. The male entity seemed displeased and scowled saying, "Is that the one with the heart-shaped head that's always around you?" I'm not sure what that means. I was receiving communication from him in thought/words... difficult to explain, but that's how my mind interpreted.

As the pain grew worse I screamed and he was very distorted by that. He scowled and said, "Stop it!" I screamed louder (not vocally but with my mind) and he threw his hands up before his face and appeared to be sucked back/shattered?. Right after, I awoke with a start.

I still have a small bruise mark on my ribs in the location of his "probing" and am vaguely worried he may have "implanted" something in me. Or part of something as he didn't finish whatever he intended to do.

If I had been more clear-minded and not so groggy I would have called upon some higher power for assistance. I didn't think of it at the time.

I was wondering if anyone else might have had an experience that left a physical change or mark on them. Has anyone else experienced something like this during sleep paralysis?

I may also post another "attack" experience I had at some point.
