Screaming or howling

I want to talk about my experiences with sleep paralysis for a moment. As a child, it affected me in such a way that my parents took me to a sleep study, around age 5. I remember seeing shadows moving across my walls at night, they would grow in size, get close to me, and when the light would be turned on, vanish. I still see them, moving around in mirrors, darting across the hallway that is always kept dark. They frightened me a lot when I was a kid, but they are either there with bad intent, good intent, or they are passing through. Some are simply travelling around, and have no business with you in particular, and some seem to keep an eye on you- I am not sure if it is good intent, but that is debatable. Because none of us know what they are to begin with. Anyway, any time I have had SP, it is from these things. I will see one of them hanging around the ceiling, or it is pulling at my feet. Since I am an adult now, I fight them pretty easily. I just scream at them and they will get off of me and go away. The only pain that they have ever caused me was when I was sleeping over at a boy's house, and I felt tons of negative energy in his room and around him, I really wanted to leave and could barely sleep. I was woken up by what felt like hands and fingers of multiple things pulling me from underneath, almost like through a dimension or something. It was very uncomfortable. I could feel all of the fingertips and their hands grabbing, this is a sensation I will never forget. It would be nice to sleep without these dumb annoying pests, which is all they are, bothering me. Any time I feel intense fear, they come hang around. In my waking life, I am not often afraid, but if I am walking through an area and suddenly become filled with intense fear that I cannot explain, there is a shadow person hanging around. Prayers do not help with these things, because using prayer assumes that there is evil in the world to be prayed away, and evil is merely a projection of our inner fears that we cannot externalize. The only way to get them to go away is ignore them, pretend that they are not there, and do not feed them any fear. Just leave the area or try to wake up, show them who is the boss, you are alive and they are... well... not, I guess. I am still not entirely sure what they are, but I will say that they are not from our time, space, or world.
