I have no idea what just happened to me but I am really scared.
It happened while I was asleep and a little while after. I am a lucid dreamer (among other abilities). I cannot quite control my dreams consistently, but I can sometimes. The one thing that has always been guaranteed is that I always know I'm dreaming, and I can always wake myself up. But not last night. Last night I knew I was dreaming like usual, but I felt like there was this battle going on between good and evil (whether around me or in me I don't know), and it felt like something was going wrong, I guess that\'s the only way I can put it. I don't know how else to describe it. It felt like something was gripping my heart, making it pump faster and harder. It hurt, like actual real physical pain. That's when I knew something was wrong.
I had to know what was going on, so I tried to shift my dream. Which I, up until that point, had never tried before in my life. It worked and the dream shifted into darkness. It was like it was in this whole realm of darkness, with a kind of floor that looked like it was the kind of concrete found in a warehouse. I was in front of this illuminated spot, like it was just under a street lamp almost. I'm not quite sure what I saw, it was gone so fast. I know I did see fighting, but I don't know any of the details, (like what was fighting, with what were they fighting, etc.) Before I could really see what was going on it was like I was ripped from that part of, I don't know what it was really, I guess I can call it part of my dream. It is only looking back on it now that I realize that what I saw wasn't with my (dream) eyes, but with my minds eye (I think that's what it's called.). Like all of my possibly clairvoyant experiences have been.
The whole time I was in that part of my dream, that gripped feeling on my heart continued. It even continued throughout the rest of my dream until I could finally wake up. I won't bother to try and explain the next part of my dream, it is too confusing to explain. The only part I can understandably explain is the gripping feeling continued until I woke up. It took a long while to wake my self up. Normally it's instantaneous and insanely easy, but this time it was so hard, and it felt like something was forcing me to stay in the dream. At this point my heart hurt so bad, and I was so scared that I was going to die that I don't know if I saw anything else.
Once I had woken myself up there was this tingly feeling all around my neck, like someone hand their hand around it. I usually get this sensation on my back, arms, legs, face, and shoulders. And it feels like someone is gently touching me or reassuring me. This was different, it felt angry and violent. When the feeling had stopped, I think by willing it to go away hard enough (I can do that quite often), I was so scared that I couldn't move for a little while. Eventually I sat up and turned on the lights. I have not been to sleep since a little before 4 in the morning, nor do I think I will be able to sleep again until my body forces me to sleep. I am very scared and would like help as soon as someone can. Please help me!
It sounds to me like you had an episode of sleep paralysis. The only reason I say that is because the same thing happened to me. I had a "nightmare" (if you read my post you'll understand better) and I couldn't move or get out either even though I tried.
I've never been one to believe in negative energies before that sleep paralysis however, now I feel that it may have been a demon or something trying to harm me. I think it happens only during sleep because we are in a different state of conciousness where they have access to our most vulnerable state of existence. I know that sounds a little irrational and I know how scary it must have been.
To help the situation, and ward off the negative energies I would recommend burning dried olive leaves and coal in a little pot. Allow the smoke to permeate the bedroom so that you can have a good nights rest. Also meditation is good for opening your third eye and balancing your chakras. You can try this before you go to sleep but make sure you don't fall asleep or you may be in a lucid dream, which isn't so bad. I would also recommend that you thank the universe for existing. Yes that may sound a little obvious but addressing the universe will ensure that you are "giving back". When you do so, you can be most certain that the universe/ God will protect you from any harm that you may incur as your will be refreshed with a calm and positive energy. Also this will ensure that there is a constant connection between you and the main life energy source. As long as you have this connection, and think about the positive- negative energies/ spirits will stay away. This is because every soul/ being in the universe has a certain vibrational frequency. If they are not on the same vibrational level as you whilst in the unconscious state, then they can do no harm as they are at a lower energy state whilst you'll be in a higher energy state. Balancing chakras through meditation will therefore replenish your energy level.
A lady on youtube- Lilan Eden is really good at guided meditation. Here's one of her third eye sessions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh3b3IE3ucs
