Hi. Iv been interested in astral projection for a while as i experienced shadow people as a child. I have tried it a few times with no joy, I just always end up fallng to sleep. I tried again today. In the day time as I am too scared to try at night. I had no joy but did get into a good relaxed state just couldn't get a vibrational state so after an hour i turned on my left to go to sleep. I had a normal dream but then (thought) I was being woken up by my sister telling me dinner is ready. I was soo into my sleep that I couldn't wake up. Just really really tired and my eyes were too heavy ro open. She came up.....I was still dreaming by the way but this seemed real and she started panicking as she knew what I was trying to do and saw me struggling to wake up I drifted in and out of sleep ( I thought I was). And i woke up again and she was gone but my niece was on my bed behind me. I knew it was her because she was just giggling as she does but she wasn't trying to wake me up. I fell into sleep again and I heard her giggle again. I was really struggling to wake up and thought it was strange that she wasn't waking me. I then heard my name called in the most creepiest way and felt something touch the inside of my leg and at this point I realised that this wasn't Ruby behind me and I wasn't awake. I knew i was experi3nc8ng a sleep paralysis demon as some say and I was desperately trying to turn around and see what it was but my body wouldn't let me. My body was too heavy for me to control. It had a hold of me like it was spooning me and a tight grip of my hand which was by my face. I started to panick and tried desperately to say I love you god. I managed to say it but didn't have full function of my face. I said it three times and with every time I said it its nails and grasp on my hand got really tight and really hot. It was like I made it angrier every time I said it. The pressure on my hand by the 3rd I love you god was painful. I then realised that wasn't going to work I was just making it angry so I then tried to picture myself in a godly place at which point I woke up. My house empty and I was alone all along.
Was this a demon or just my imagination. My hand had marks on it after but I think this was from my own hand as i slept with them together. Should I just stop messing with this untuil I can get rid of my fear. Any advice.I'm scared to sleep now
