Why Do I Have a Bruise After Lucid Dreaming?

i am not an expert when it comes to lucid dreaming, I have been able to catch myself dreaming and interact with my environment such as changing colors on the wall or continue to fly in the air when I feel like I’m falling. I can tell myself no this is my dream and I want to fly and will get back into the air.

I have had re-occurring dreams and have been able to change the dream around based on what I remember from last time. Recently, I was able to go back into a dream- I remember an empty bedroom and a blue light from the TV illuminating the room a little. I heard a voice yell HEY and I woke up scared. I told myself to go back and I DID- this time I tried not to move and just opened my eyes in the dream to look around. Then I felt a phone drop next to me and go off with lights and sounds and again I woke up. The third time I went back in and this time I heard the voice behind me say. “are you kidding me?” and I realized I was late for work. I have heard voices and seen shadows of people but never interacted. I just took on a watchful approach and left when I was scared.

One night – I remember a buzzing in the air getting louder and faster and then almost like an pulse I found myself dreaming and heard a women say “He’s in! I can hear him now!” Not being used to interacting with energies or spirits I was scared and woke up. This time I wanted to interact a little more and was able to catch myself dreaming again, except this time it was different. I couldn’t remember what my room looked like! I kept waking up in the dark in my old bedroom as a child when I would have nightmares a lot! I kept trying to bring myself back to my room but I couldn’t so I tried to wake up and was hit with sleep paralysis going in and out of my room and my old room if that makes sense?

I was finally able to pull free, I took a deep breath-envisioned a bright light around me and went back in. This time there were more shadowy figures ( I dont know if I cant see their face because I don’t want to or not ready for it yet?) They started talking to me and approaching me. I again became scared and tried to wake up but sleep paralysis made it difficult a second time. I was going in and out and could see snaps of shadows getting closer and one managed to grab me. I yelled and tried to pull as much as I could but couldn’t break free so I relaxed a bit to think and the next think I remember was feeling this hot powerful pulse build up inside me and I looked up at everyone and yelled LEAVE ME ALONE! They all disappeared and I woke up in my own bed.

I looked for things that belonged in my current room to assure myself like the carpet, the dresser, the tv etc. Long story short I now have a bruise where I was grabbed on my arm. It doesn’t resemble a hand more like a blotch of spots, that is tender to the touch.

I also want to say I don’t bruise easily which is why I am concerned. I have gotten hurt many times but never had the appearance of a bruise. What do you think this could be related to or am I attributing something to that place? I don’t remember running into anything and my partner mentioned I was tossing and turning more than usual but nothing out of the ordinary? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Sleep Paralysis Shadow People And Suppressed Memories

I have always had a strong belief and connection to things that are not as easily seen, nor interpreted, to the naked human eye. I can also say I have my fair share of run ins with sleep paralysis or “The Old Hag”. I don’t think I will ever truly understand the thought behind it. We, as humans, shouldn’t assume we are the only being in this monumental cauldron of a cosmos. As of late I have been experiencing more and more activity that I cannot explain and I’m needing validation on others who may have gone through similar experiences

Last year my husband and I purchased a custom built town-home in the area of Winchester, Virginia. Right away when we moved in I had my first instance occur. While carrying a plastic tote to the third floor I had set it down on the floor to be re-positioned before picking it up once again and moving on. Before I could lift the tote up some type of energy or being pulled the tote across the floor with quite a bit of force but not aggressively. I was freaked out for a few minutes and my husband was completely skeptical but wanted to be supportive. Fast forward through the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 and no other issues are know to report.

Early July 2018 my husband and I come home from a day with the family and the house is dark. It’s late so we proceed on to bed due to the late hour but when we get to our room I see the closet light on and immediately turn into THAT nagging husband who always complains that the other husband left a light on. After end of debates he walks to the closed closet door, visibly pushes the door twice with considerable force, and up a third push is able to gain access to the interior of the closet. While the blood rushed out of his face and his shakey hands flipped the light off he ran to me across the room. We couldn’t rationally explain why the door wouldn’t open. Nothing obstructing it, no jam in the door, no issues with the handle or the hinges. Nothing. It all just felt paranormal.

Less than two nights after the closet incident, I had just fallen asleep and was startled away by a horrifying black shadow coming at me through the bedroom door. I had to fight like hell to get away from whatever it was. I woke up scrambling away from the edge of the bed in a cold sweat, and crying and huddled up to the side of my husband. After falling back to sleep it happened again immediately except this time there were two black menacing type shadows. Jolted away again.

I have also had something touch the bottom of my foot and tug on my pants and seen two other shadows in broad light. Seeing these shadows is bring up memories of shadows I’ve also seen as I kid that I suppressed away and I’m not sure if that mean anything else. If you have any ideas on how to help please let me know. Thanks!

Sleep Paralysis Or Something Else?

It happened a while ago – I waked up in my bad & the room was light (as in daytime, even it was at night). I saw people having a picnic at one side of my bad, canoe sailing besides my bad in other side & I noticed more and more people, animals and things going on all around my room as far as I looked, but none of them paid me any attention. I quickly realized, it should be a dream, but meantime I was sure I was fully awake.

I tried to move, but I was completely paralyzed, and more I tried to sit up (it felt I need to sit up to make them all disappear), the harder it felt. I got really scared but I couldn´t scream or do anything.

But the worst think of all was a noise – it was so extremely loud & sounded like all voices and noises from entire World together. And the noise become louder & louder & it caused me almost physical pain.

It felt like forever and then I somehow managed to turn on 1 side (I was laying on my back) and it all disappeared. I was so scared that I couldn´t sleep at all and spent rest of the night Goodling what just happened.

It seems to be a sleep paralysis (I even read it might be caused by being over-tired, which I was), but the noise is not very common among such cases ( or I haven´t checked enough similar stories).
Would like to hear your comments.

3 Loud Knocks Now Sleep Paralysis

About 3 years ago I had just fallen asleep when I heard 3 very loud bangs at my bedroom widow. The knocks were so hard that they rattled my window. At the time I had a very yappy Chihuahua that would go crazy barking whenever there were knocks on the door. My Chihuahua was asleep on the bed at my feet. She didnt seem to hear the loud knocks so I thought maybe it was a dream. I stood up and looked out my window just in case it was someone had some sort of emergency and needed me. There was no one. I decided to check the front door in case the person knocked on the window to wake me walked to the front door to be let in. When I opened my bedroom door my 21 year old daughter opened her bedroom door and asked what was that loud banging? This is when I became a little fearful because I keept thinking why did the Chihuahua not jump up and start barking? There was no one at the front door. No one died in our family and we never heard it again.

Fast forward 3 years later I am newly married 1 year and now I am expecting a new baby so having a big belly I mostly sleep on my back.  One night I was sleeping and suddenly became aware of my husband getting out of bed and walking past me out of the bedroom (my eyes are partially open and my head is turned to my right and I sleep very close to the right edge of the bed) as soon as he walks out the door that is on the right side of the bed I see a man/beast come up from beside my side of the bed. I cant move or open my eyes any wider.  This creature kisses me, puts its tongue in my mouth and I can taste its awful breath, I can feel his tongue starts to fall apart and dissolve in my mouth, at the same time he is sucking my breath out of my lungs. I feel like I’m suffocating then I can see him move his right hand and feel him cup my pubic area and I feel and orgasm happen. (Sorry for so much detail) at that exact same moment my husband walks back into the room and the man/beast is gone. I take a huge breath in relieved that I can breath again. I was so freaked out. I just turned to my left and pretend to still be asleep while my husband settles back into his side of the bed and all the while just laying there thinking what the hell just happened?

Paralysis Shadowy Figures And Weird Things

Sleep paralysis, shadowy figures and weird things happening around me

had sleep paralysis a few months back for the first time. I was sleeping in my room …after studying ..it was around 12 in the afternoon. Suddenly I woke up and couldn’t move my body .I could see and hear everything but couldn’t move . I began panicking. Suddenly the room turned dark then into a greenish reddish color , then when I looked to my left I saw a black shadow figure with red glow and a one glowing red eye(I think it was an eye) just standing next to my body and just staring at Me. I was so scared. It stood there for a long time and stared at me. I began to feel like it was not going to harm me , more like protecting me. Then it slowly raised its hand and grabbed my hand which was on my stomach and lifted it up and kissed it. Then it gently placed it on my stomach again.then it stared at me and disappeared . the room turned back to its normal color and I began to panic again as I still couldn’t move.. Then I began to pray and finally could move my hand and then the rest of my body. I shot up from bed feeling drained of my energy for some reason and when I try to stand I almost fell down. I was feeling dizzy and all

I looked up on the internet and found I had sleep paralysis and it haven’t happened again until yesterday night.

I was sleeping having a dream that oddly consisted of Lucy hale being my friend , it started out as a normal dream , normally I can’t remember my dreams but this I remember at least bits and pieces of it, anyway in the middle I suddenly found my self on my bed and I couldn’t move , first I thought its just another sp episode but then I suddenly got scared , I tried screaming but my voice wouldn’t come out and there was a shadow figure at my feet grabbing my legs, in my dream I cud see and remember every faces but this was the only person who was blurry and just shadowy , I panicked I started to try to get up but then when I did try I felt only my soul was getting up and my body was left behind and half way through that I felt myself getting pulled back in to my body, then my sister woke up in the middle of it all, it was hard to stay awake like something was pulling me back in to the dream, I stood up , still sleepy and walked in to my parents room and got on their bed and slept next to my dad(always do that when my sister wakes me up too early, dad always let’s me sleep in) as soon as I lied down , I was back in the same dream and that’s a rare occurrence for me to have the same dream twice a day and I was back in my position paralyzed , I dont remember much …its like a blur I remember panicking and trying to scream.. And the shadowy figure was still next to me staring at me i think it was smirking or something i couldn’t see but somehow i knew like it was saying that theres no use screaming no ones going to come.Then my sister woke me up and again I felt the pull …that something was pulling me back in to the dream. This time I forced myself to wake up and I went and took a bath

The two shadowy figures were different the one from my first sp episode scared me at first but I knew it wouldn’t hurt me but the second one…I didn’t feel like that in fact I was really scared and I had my 2nd sp episode in the middle of a dream ..I didn’t knew it was possible

I’m not surprised though…weird things always happen around me

Like I know when someone’s feeling sad or hiding something I can feel their emotions sometimes its hard to distinguish my emotions from others because of that I’m highly emotional and I can also know certain things are going to happen , not like seeing visions but I know its gonna happen , its somewhat like vision as I can’t control it and I get certain feelings when at certain places like I know its not a good place and I know I have to leave and I always get this feeling before something bad is going to happen and sometimes I feel some one else presence .

Please tell me what’s wrong with me.

I can’t talk to anyone most of my friends call me weird and they say its just my imagination..

What Happened? ESP The Paranormal And Aliens

So here’s the story: I’m a kid in elementary school and I just took an interest in ESP, the paranormal basically, and aliens. One night, I watched a show about aliens that we rented from a video tape renter. I began feeling this weird, mean, being watched feeling from my room. In my mind, it was as if there were about two people or aliens outside my room watching from outside but they made me feel uncomfortable. I went to sleep anyways. In the middle of the night, I woke up, which was highly unusual at the time for me. I could somehow “feel”, or sense, if that makes sense, again 2 people or aliens behind me near the window. My back was facing the window. I decided I should turn around and see who was there, even if I was scared, and right when I was about to move (or I moved a little, it’s been a while) to turn an see who it was, I felt a needle stab me right into my neck on the top bone of it or close to it. I tried moving again to get away but I felt this gooey stuff rush through my body whenever I tried moving that would paralyze me. In my mind the gooey stuff looked green in my body. Soon enough I was stuck in one position and then everything turned to black. Then I began having a dream that i was running around my neighborhood barefoot chasing after a grey alien. The grey alien and I got to the point where we switched who’s chasing who for a few short seconds, then I was chasing it again, then it slowed down and thought and said, “Wait, what? What am I doing? Why am I doing this?” so it stopped running around, gave me the “whatever” hand motion and then after that, it disappeared somehow (i kinda forgot how but I want to say it hid in some bushes and it was gone after that. That’s where my dream ended.

After that, I woke up in the morning on the same side that I was left paralyzed at night. The blankets were moved slightly “off” from how they were when I was asleep but everything looked almost the same. I had this big feeling and knowing I got left with a mark on myself by something so I checked my left hand that I was on my left thumb I found a mark. It was a purple triangle with the tip facing my nail and it was almost perfect. It slightly hurt when I touched it, but after the first few touches, it didn’t hurt anymore. I was scared. I tried rubbing the mark off and it wouldn’t come off. I told my mom and showed her the mom and she said it was a bruise, but I said it didn’t really hurt much. She said I must have had a nightmare and hurt myself. I went to school and showed my friends the mark on my thumb and told them mt story and they were like “no way!” and they tried rubbing off the mark but it wouldn’t come off. I asked them to check the back of my neck for any markings and one friend said I had a small marking on my neck but it was faint I think. The mark on my thumb lasted for about 3 months or so and I didn’t do anything to it, I just left it alone. Eventually, it was gone.

After that, I was very scared of aliens and did not get into alien stuff until the last few years. I forgot to mention, my family and I saw a UFO in the mountains during the Perseid meteor shower before I got that marking I believe. That’s when I tried talking telepathically to whoever was in the UFO and that’s when the UFO began following us in the car while we were driving away. After that, my brother and I would ask in our heads for UFOs to pop out in the middle of the day and we would see something. It was pretty cool.

So what happened that night with the triangle marking? Was it sleep paralysis plus a nightmare?

Possibly Sleep Paralysis Or Paranormal Experience

One night when I was a little lad, about 8 years old, I was sleeping in my room. The time was around 2:00-2:45 AM and I was awaken by something.

I remember very vividly that I couldn’t move a muscle, I could move my eyes and open my mouth to breath and felt a small pressure on my chest but I could not move nor yell for help.

After what felt to be a long lasting 30 seconds I heard a scratching noise from behind me, following that noise I heard a very scary scratchy old ladies voice and it said 4 words, “Your mom is pregnant”. That moment scared me so bad that 10 years down the road, I still remember the sound of the voice.

Later the following morning, my mom pulled me into the living room and say me down to “have a chat”. She explained to me that I am going to be a big brother and all of that stuff. My heart sunk. I didn’t talk to her about my experience until the next week, she didn’t think much of it.

Later after that night I would lay in bed and see what looked to be a shadow figure standing at my door, he looked like a solider in combat fatigues. They never did any harm, just stood there. When I would move to try and get a different angle, it would disappear. That lasted about a week.

Is this paranormal or was I just effected by high anxiety? Thank you.

Waking Up And Cannot Move And Something Touching Me

Hi, I have a question. Ever since this year off and on I have been waking up every now and then I cannot move. It’s very much real because I have been on the phone a couple times and this has happened and I could still hear everything the person was saying, but couldn’t respond.

For the last week this has happened almost every night to me, I’m not trying to do this. I hate it so much, that it’s stopping me from getting sleep cause I’m scared that it will keep happening.

Sometimes I’m able to move in that state but not my actual body, it’s so weird that I felt something touch me a couple of times in that state. I can never see clearly it’s sometimes hard to oddly open my eyes.

Even one time I heard a very strange noise and my body was vibrating. I really need help on how to stop this.

Waking Up And Seeing A Black Hole In Front Of You

Good day, I have always had the problem of out of body experience since a child. It went away for a long time. For the last 3 years its been back a lot.

One night I woke up frozen and very scared. I tried touching my husband or screaming him to wake up. Behind me a could feel something very bad, it felt scary and not right. I moved my head slowly to the side and like I always do I say in Jesus name I ask you to leave. On the corner of my eye I could see this black hole moving around. It went all away after I asked it to in Jesus name.

Then the 1 night a few nights later, I felt a small hand touching mine. It didn’t feel like a dream but real.

Now I’m scared to leave any part of my body out of a blanket when I sleep and a battle to fall a sleep scared that something will happen again. All this always happens in the early hours of the morning.

This isn’t a make up story but all true. What does all this mean

Noises, Fear, Being Touched And Grabbed

Hearing noises, feeling frightened,  being touched and grabbed when in bed

I suffer from depression. A lot of life changing events including cancer with my husband and me losing my job over the past several years. Things happen in my home especially at night.

The fire alarm went off at 2,35 in the am a few days ago then just stopped. I know I am not imagining this.

I also suffer from sleep paralysis at times and have disturbing dreams. After feeling my leg grabbed when sleeping last night, I awoke at 2;35 am thinking it was my husband trying to wake me or come to bed. I now sleep with the light on.  After I awoke and found no one there I screamed, jumped out of bed and went to sleep in the living room with my husband. I was shaking. I really was frightened.

I sometimes feel my face being touched at night and just try to brush it away from my face. Things are out of control. I need this to stop.

I just poured salt all around my bed, and every entrance to the bedroom including window sills and in front of my closet. I tried to bless some some oil in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit. I said a prayer asking God to bless this room and placed a cross of oil over every door, window, at the head and foot of the bed and also every mirror. I spoke that only the spirit of God and his angels are allowed in this room and anything not of God is not allowed. Will this help?

I will be looking for some sage to cleanse the house. How do I do this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
