congratulations, you've just experienced sleep paralysis. the first time i got this, i was laying on my side and felt an entity groping me up from behind. i tried to scream and move, but it did not work. i've heard strories about sleep paralysis before and rememberd that panic would not solve anything. i took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down till my hearthbeat was normal. before i knew it, i woke up.

now it happens a few times a year and i use it to get into a lucid dream. it's kind of a funny feeling if you get used to it

Something similar to OP happened to me
>be like 7
>laying in my bed
>closet door opens
>huge shadow comes out
>blackest than black, can only make out the shilouette of a hat
>walks/floats to the side of my bed
>stares at me although I can't see his face
>can't move

I know it was sleep paralysis because I've suffered it for years but the thing is, speaking with my aunt when I was 15 or 16 she told me she used to see the same thing. So while being completely normal, why is the shadow dude with a man so prevalent?

Why do people ask for information that they can't recognize as true or evaluate the quality of?
If I just happen to have the correct answer it becomes of no value before an audience who can't receive it.
There are many wrong ideas that people enjoy indulging in. Most people have no relationship to truth and true things.
Those who have adequate part of the truth tend to recognize when others are also in contact with the truth. Those who have utterly no clue have no experience to evaluate what is true.. even if they have directly encountered something unusual.
You have direct experience and personal observation.. but you still need to be qualified to discuss the subject of the context of the experience to adequate degree of clarity and certainty to be able to begin to discuss what is true and certain.
If a majority of your presumptive knowledge about reality is founded on nonsense, deception, and delusion how can you ever be a relevant part of any discussion about the subject of reality?
Religion is one of the big ones. People really demonstrate how poorly their skills at thinking have failed them when it comes to their response to mass indoctrination.
Thought only gets you so far anyway.. reality is not a thought exercise. Direct personal experience and observations are how an individual human gains knowledge of the extraordinary.. but then there you are, alone holding knowledge that you can not simply hand to other people.

You seem to want to actually know. How much you already actually know, as opposed to simply support by choice of belief, is going to determine whether you are going to recognize the truth as truth.
There are multiple people in the thread who have direct observation of the phenomenon. What do you think is going on? What can you say about the experience that everyone who has direct personal experience with it is going to agree with? Each individual is making choices about what they will agree with or oppose.. but belief is not knowing

>>43011989
Completely normal to what standard?
Those who have no direct personal experience may be in complete and total agreement about the fact that they have personally seen nothing. Is that the normal that you are seeking to be in compliance with?
You have to let the people who have no clue remain in their isolation away from the evidence.. they have no relationship to the experience other than their own collective lack thereof.
As far as communal processing of data goes, the real issue is not even being approached until you are among others who have the same experience.. but if you are capable of working alone towards the truth then you can begin with your own perception and experience in isolation away from others who will not be making a deliberate investigation and research effort for the subject.
Then it becomes a matter of how frequently are you able to perceive the phenomenon? How persistent is the 'illusion of perception'.. and at what point do you reevaluate it as an actual perception of a somehow tangible thing?
Humans really are still at a very primitive state of knowledge and technology. If you are allowing your fellow humans to set the standards of evaluation you will be setting the bar so low that you may as well have never picked it up.
If it is tangible, and yet not physical, at what point would you begin to allow the tangible reality of "the phenomenon" to set the standards of your own evaluation of reality? If it is a living being at what point do you acknowledge it as "real"?

For me, and for many others, those thresholds came and went.. and we went beyond where the other humans go.
You seem to say that you want truth.. but do you really? If you have direct observation available to you, you can see for yourself. Belief is second hand knowledge.. it is about as useful as already eaten food. It cannot be usefully transferred to others in the same condition.

>>43011989
Those who have no experience will continue to reject your perception of whatever it is that you are perceiving. At what point do you, in turn, let go of the idea that their opinions have any value or merit?

You ask to know why the phenomenon is prevalent. Are you prepared to be aware that the experience is of some 'real' and yet not exactly physically so?
If you already have direct observation, and can find how to get the experience to happen again, it is only a question of how much do you want to know?

>be aware that the experience is of someTHING 'real' and yet not exactly physical

I experienced a shadow being in my parents bedroom before they got divorced. Those things will do that.

i see shadow people often but i also saw real demons with horns couple of times

Fourth dimensional objects cannot be seen but their shadows can.
Mathematically, anything that casts a 3d shadow is a 4d object as well.
I’ve seen a few of them including the Hat Man.

i see them always when i am at least 24 hours awake plus. they are always on the side of my view.

I had a dream once where I was in a rollercoaster ride of sorts before I was pulled back to my room. It was a replica of it 1:1. I remember it being dark and cold. I approached the door of my room, and suddenly a burst of electricity surged through me. I suddenly gained cognizance in the dream. Then, a shadow figure suddenly burst through the door and held me down. One hand was over my mouth while the other reached deep into my stomach searching for something. I couldn't say anything and was in a state of panic. So, I screamed to myself in my mind "Wonder of U!" before I couldn't think anymore. After a few moments, the shadow figure suddenly looked ahead of me and backed off as if in fear of what it just perceived. It ran away then I also ran away too, but into a nearby room. I finally woke up.

A lot of people will say this is a larp or that it was simply a nightmare. But no, it was real. I gained lucidity within the dream and could feel the pull of this shadow being. Yet, it was because of an external force that I was able to mount a resistance against it. This world is not purely materialistic like humans think it is.

I've seen these things wandering around my 5 acre property, but whenever I see them it pisses me tf off. I always run them off with my rage and the words of Jesus. I'm not scared of the douchebags in any capacity either. This has happened multiple times over the last 4 or 5 years.

Pack it up boys. This anon knows everything and has it all figured out. There's nothing going on at all except your own malfunctioning brain.
