Paralysis

07.13.2014Of Sleep Paralysis, Molestation, and Demons (SP) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This is a jumbled mess in my mind, but I will try to draw some sense out of it. I normally consider my SP episodes lucid, but I was so confused that I thought all of this was actually happening because of demons instead of SP. After some kind of parade involving <PERSON> and <PERSON>, I find myself in sleep paralysis, entirely unable to move. I do not know where I am, but I am not in bed. There is a sharp pain in my hips as if someone is pushing my legs up towards my chest--- as I am not flexible at all, this is quite painful. Despite the pain, I am inexplicably somewhat aroused. I keep expecting something sexual to happen, but it does not. I open my eyes when I feel someone grab my wrist forcefully. It is my grandfather, who is a preacher, performing an exorcism over me while shaking a bible. I notice that no one is actually moving my legs--- they are flailing around on their own accord. I am quite calm and not freaked out at all. Simply confused. I manage to break out of whatever spell I am in and pull away from him. He explains that a demon is after me, but I do not listen. I think that I am late for a class and have to go get ready. I end up at my friend <PERSON>'s house where I ask to take a shower. For some reason they have this large bathhouse outside that has locker-room style showers. There are other people in here at first, but after I start my shower everyone else leaves. I had been told by my grandfather not to enter here, because this is "where the Fallen Angel landed when he fell." In the midst of my shower, I somehow end up flat on my back as the water splashes down on my face. I cannot get up, or even move. My vision is confused because I am seeing the dream shower as well as flashes from my actual bedroom (so I assume my eyes were at least partially open during this time). I hear an old-fashioned radio announcer ardently reading some apocalyptic sounding text, though I can make no sense of what he is saying. There is a high pitched screeching in my head. Now starting to get a little freaked out, I use my normal foot-shaking technique to wake myself up. I wake up, but do not move and instantly go back into it. I am now thinking of turning this into a WILD, but I still think I am lying down in the shower and I am really concerned about either the demon coming back or someone wondering why I am just lying here, so I wake myself up again. By the time I realize I am not really in the shower, I am too awake to get back into SP.
