Hi, I'm not an experienced lucid dreamer, nor have I been trying particularly in that direction. However, I recently had an odd experience during an episode of sleep paralysis I am slightly concerned about.
I found myself in this situation when I saw a projection of someone I know, not a corporal vision, more like in my minds eye, while under sleep paralysis. The presence felt quite malevolent and said to me "your religion will not save you. " I was able to banish this presence as I am somewhat accustomed to such experiences, although I have never been spoken to during a sleep paralysis experience.
This happened about 2 months ago and I haven't been bothered since. Any thoughts and opinions? Thank you.
My learned opinion is that you had a very 'typical' SP 'intruder' experience.
They self manifest like a fear threshold guardian that makes you question yourself so that you can overcome it and move on.
What it said is very true... Your religion won't save you. If you stepped in front of a speeding train... I can guarantee your religion won't save you.
Maybe you have come to this conclusion and it has manifested. You are now questioning it.
Save you from what though?
That's the question.
Hi Bedeekin,
The odd part of his to me is that I'm not a very religious person in the traditional sense. The other odd thing is that the person who appeared to me as that presence has also had experiences with sleep paralysis as well, and missed work the day after it happened. I am interested in what it will not save me from too, hopefully it will make sense eventually. :-)
