Yes i wanted to commit suicide after my 9th grade Board result but then after some thinking i changed my plan

You should have committed suicide for wanting to commit suicide on such a silly thing. Mujhay bari chir charhti hai when people want to end life over low grades. I mean they are just silly grades and thats it. Hamaray shwobiz may dekho there is a girl aiman khan she dropped put of her 11th grade as her showbiz career picked up. Right now she is making super bucks with her drama coming on every major channel.

Yea man, every now and then there is a flashback and then I have to jerk/shake my head. Then I simply take out my mobile and log onto PDF to distract my mind. Lol

Get married , your wife will give you horrors that these flashback will look kids stuff.

Waisay hua kya tha? Escaped an accident? If its too worrisoem have two or three sitti with a psychiatrist it might help. You will get recommended some relaxation excercies if you are not really vexed by these flashbacks, cause in psychology world the key to handle a stressful thing is to keep ur mind calm.

Nobody cares about matric grades. Later on in life, they are as useless as primary school marks sheet.

Glad that you changed your plan.

True. I graduated from university 30 year ago but never had to show my marks to any employer.

Only the angels or the good among the Jinns get attracted to the recitation of Quran, not the demons.

Sleep paralysis is usually happens when there is -
Extreme pain or discomfort in dream & as well as in reality at same time makes you wake up in sleep , without really waking up.

Whatever it was ..
It was like being near death ..

When my Grandpa died.. i went into shock...

So we took him back to the village... funeral is done.. and i cant cry..

Suddenly that night.. I became crazy with sadness and emotions..

I took out a bike and went straight to the graveyard.. which is a few miles outside of our village.. it’s desolate.. and its miles from any settlement..

Now im in the graveyard.. a few feet from my Grandpa and my Grandmas graves (aswell as my other relatives)... for a second.. i feel afraid.. im the only alive soul in the graveyard in pitch black darkness...

But than I feel kinda secure.. Im between my family .. my Grand Parents,Great Grand Parents and other ancestors are right there..

Im no more afraid.. that night I cried like a baby hugging their graves..

I still go there and talk to them.. and believe they listen.

I believe dead people's spirit connecting to the alive relatives has some little truth to it .
When my naana died, he was a very good religious man , according to my mother she also used to feel him nd his attention ..
But anyway , God knows best .
May they all be blessed .

What is the sleep paralysis demon?
The sleep paralysis ‘demon’ is no more than a hallucination sometimes seen in sleep paralysis, but it feels real.

It can be a terrifying vision. People have reported all sorts, the internet is awash with horror stories of these hallucinations and there have been scary films made about the experience. Many have seen dark figures like shadow men, or a man in a hat, or feel like someone is sitting on their chest (More on this later).

It’s an apparition of an intruder, a presence that lurks over you and watches you. It sounds like a terrifying nightmare, right? That’s basically all it is, only your mind is awake, so it’s a hell of a lot more scary. There are lots of stories about scary dreams with this dark figure. There have been references to the demon as a ‘supernatural vision’ but really there’s a simple explanation behind it.

Why do so many people experience the demon?
When you’re in the dream state, a part of your brain called the amygdala is already heightened, and this being responsible for your emotions means that you feel particularly threatened when paralysed by sleep. You experience hyper-vigilance, so your senses and the situation are intensified, and being in an anxious state, threats are detected that are only in your mind.

For example, many experience a vision or a feeling during sleep paralysis that makes them feel as though their chest is being crushed, or sat on by the demon. This is explained by the feeling of being trapped, being unable to move your body, your mind projects a hallucination that works from and copies that feeling.

Is the sleep demon dangerous?
The idea of an intruder, or a supernatural threat when you’re completely helpless is one of the most terrifying thoughts, but that’s all it is, a thought. Whatever presence you see or feel is simply a manifestation of the fears that already exist in our minds.

We all fear different things, your brain is simply recreating an image of whatever has previously given you a fright or a worry. Take the name that it’s adopted for example, ‘the demon’. It’s a label that whether we like it or not is of a predominantly Christian origin, specific to our culture, ’demon’ referring to an evil and sacrilegious being. Other countries and cultures will have different names for it.

Sometimes though, unrelated people all across the world experience visions that are uncannily similar, and though people look for paranormal explanations, it’s nothing more than shared fears that cause completely unrelated people to see the same intruder in their hallucinations.

Dark figures appear in just about every horror movie or story. As for the slightly more specific vision, the man in a hat, where have we seen that before? There’s been at least ten films made featuring the character of Freddy Kreuger, the majority of you are bound to have heard of him, and how does he find his victims? In their dreams.

It’s no wonder that so many minds see such a figure haunting their hallucinations – the character is already planted in our minds. We see only what we’ve already seen, the intruders that we see are ones we’ve already feared before, and those that we cant quite make out show how our mind is fearing the unknown – particularly relevant if you’ve never experienced sleep paralysis before.

Different names for the sleep paralysis demon
The old hag
People have reported the demon to be sometimes known as ‘the old hag’. This is because sometimes it appears as an elderly woman with mishapen facial features and dirty, wirey hair. This one is probably one of the most scary forms, but remember none of them are actually real!

The shadow man
The shadow man, sometimes resembling ‘slenderman’. This is another name for the demon which people tend to refer to it as, especially when they’ve been scared by the figure during the early hours of the morning when shadows are cast at strange angles.

The man with the hat
I’m not entirely sure why, but lots of people report seeing a ‘man with a hat’ or a tall dark figure with a large object on his head. This is just another name for the same thing. These are all names for the same experience and are nothing to worry about. This is more likely to be seen if you’ve been a gamer for a lot of your life and have seen many horror films.

What does the demon want?
It’s important to realise that although this experience can be scary, it’s nothing worry about. It’s merely the scary part of lucid dreaming and it can actually help you in the long run because you can use it to make yourself realise you’re dreaming more easily.

What does it do? Well, in the real world, nothing at all. It doesn’t DO anything physical because it’s not real. It’s in your mind but it can FEEL like it’s doing things. People report it doing all sorts of things, and reading this article, it can sound REALLY scary but please don’t worry. It’s better to know about these things and prepare.

Scary growling/snarling noises
Some people report the demon making strange and scary growling noises. These can sound like an animal in some cases. Usually these growling noises will sound like a wolf, dog or a bear. Again, these noises might sound scary but they’re not real. They’re in your mind.

Feels like it’s choking you?
Very much like normal sleep paralysis, the demon can feel like it’s sort of pressing down on your chest or choking you. rest assured, it’s not but it can feel like there’s sort of like a medium to heavy weight on your throat or chest. It will never stop you breathing and it can never ACTUALLY choke you but you should be aware of it.

Menacing laughter noises
Sometimes the demon can sound like it’s making strange and menacing laughter noises. These noises can sound like it’s laughing at the fact you can’t move, as you’re paralyzed. It can be actually quite annoying.

Can it attack you?
It can’t actually physically attack you. Some people report feeling like there’s a ‘claw’ scraping along their body or something like this, but it’s not really there. It’s just part of your sleep paralysis.

Is it fake?
The sleep paralysis demon isn’t ‘fake’ in the sense that it doesn’t exist, because the EXPERIENCE is very real. The experience is real, but the ACTUAL thing that it’s supposed to be isn’t real. Hopefully this makes sense and I know it can sound a bit confusing.

The TRUTH about the sleep paralysis demon revealed
If you experience sleep paralysis often, the chances are you’ll become used to such visions and learn not to be afraid of them. Once you’re not afraid you’ll probably have more positive hallucinations. But for those of you who aren’t used to it, you can overcome these terrifying hallucinations by keeping calm and maintaining a positive mindset.

It sounds hard, I know, trying to relax when you feel helplessly threatened, but panicking is part of the reason your visions are so scary. Don’t be afraid, remember it’s all in your mind, it can’t hurt you! The more positive you remain, the better your experience of sleep paralysis will be.

If you’re going to try and move (and this will probably be your first reaction) just try really tiny movements, like a wiggle of a toe or finger, or facial movement, just to let your brain know you’re awake. Don’t be scared, and KEEP DREAMING!
