Have spirits have you sleep paralysis to test your strength?

Is this a common thing on this path?

Not that I’m aware of. Though it certainly could happen depending on what you saw during the event. Typically they can just get an over all impression of you, observe you, or will influence dreams if test are needed for whatever reason. Fear eaters, Mara, and entities of that type are more to blame for sleep paralysis. Assuming it’s not a condition you are aware you suffer from on your own.

I've been working with the Draconian Ritual Book this month, and twice I've experienced dreams of being paralyzed. The first time, I got a good look at the thing. It was like an orc or ogress wearing a tattered sheet. It felt like it was trying to deliver a message. Second time around, it felt like several beings, and they were trying to measure whether or not I'd attempt to move or speak in this state.

Hmm… well there are some people who react to dark fae the way you’re describing. When a fae causes it, it’s from the fae’s other nature and energy that people are reacting to if they haven’t experienced it before. For example most people have memories of when they were children running and jumping up onto the bed at night to avoid the danger of the darkness below it. This primal fear of darkness in our fear of the unknown and what we don’t understand manifesting, but it’s more than that. It’s also our fear of infinite possibilities. Because children aren’t so guarded and are willing to accept the uncanny as being a distinct possibility they completely believe they could be touched by the otherness more easily and so they are. So when something such as a dark fae manifest or tries to interact it can cause us to experience this feeling of dread like when we were children. More so it’s more likely to happen at an in between time, place, or state such as the state between waking and dreaming. During this state we are more vulnerable to spiritual attacks like from fear eaters and spiritual encounters in general.

However, you didn’t mention if it actually frightened you. If you weren’t frightened then you didn’t experience true sleep paralysis and you can also rule out fear eaters and Mara being the culprits. It could still technically be a type of fae but it’s not a dark fae or one I’ve personally encountered. I have no doubt that other spirit entities can cause us to have the similar reactions. It’s is possible whatever they are, they are trying to communicate with you. The best way to take control of the situation is to do a form of psychic protection, and or a protective ritual/spell on you or where you sleep.

Next consciously decide you are open to communications and tell yourself before you fall asleep that you want to communicate with whatever is trying to contact you in your dreams. Next as you’re falling asleep tell yourself you won’t let fear rule you and that you will open all closed door and windows. This is important because often in our dreams spirits approach us and try to deliver messages. However, we experience that fear and will try to keep them out or away. So if you ever had a nightmare where there was something trying to get in and you were struggling to keep it out it’s possible you were blocking spirit contact.

You mentioned that you’re working with the draconian ritual book. What part of it were you currently working on the nights you experienced these events? That could give you a clue as to what might wish to communicate with you. If you find you’re more receptive to spirit contact while in an in between state there are ways that you can induce it. To induce a hypnagogic state it helps to lie on your back and you can’t move. There will be a point during this that your body will suddenly really want you to but you but ignore it and fight it. If you do it will slowly trick you body into trigger sleep paralysis while laying there you may repeat a mantra in your mind. Close your eyes and if you can visualize try using the Tetris effect to help slip you into that state. You can easily find out more on the Tetris effect online. The goal is to make yourself available to whatever is reaching out. If it doesn’t work the first time don’t feel discouraged. Most people won’t achieve it their first attempt.

If you are gifted at divination or channeling those would be other great methods to try for communication. Divination wise Pendulum readings are usually quite useful for making contact. To increase energy in the area for entities to draw from that aren’t you, light some candles. Try these methods for about seven days when you can and see what you uncover.

My understanding of working with darker entities sometimes is matching with the process of working with darker aspects of oneself,
for example being tested in different ways, mostly keeping ones part of the bargain is enough, but still, some will only work with you if they feel you're proven worthy. So i would even argue that, even if sleep paralysis is a kind of tormenting state, it is almost the ideal 'kind' of intensity.

Of course most would prefer 'normal dream visitations'.

I had no such things happen to me, but I was told by someone i once got to know that she was having these things happening on very deep level for a long time. She also figured that it happens more often with RH-Negative blood types, like her type, the most rare one, type 0-negative. She also was a doctor and not the 'braggy type', so i have no reason to distrust her. She aslo mentioned other things like the radio in her car reacting to her physically and such things - like when her hand comes near she always changes the channel by accident and so on.

There are many myths and theories on this part of the phenomenon, some connect it to nephelim and certain metals that are prevalent in the blood that stem from different types of evolutionary circumstances. But that is to be taken with a grain of sulphur

Basically some connect these sensitivities or psychic tendencies to physical aspects too.

I guess working with dream related entities and working on gaining control in these realms, being it lucid dreaming or creating ones astral place etc could help to get through this with more control, if that even is what you would want?
Forgot where i heard that one, but i also heard that there are ways to break out of the paralysis and go directly into the astral so to speak, because the paralysis is closer to this realm than a regular dream is.


Hellena, could you maybe expand a little on the entities you mentioned and where to find resources to learn on such things?

I would do the Draconian Opening, the chakra meditation, then the Asmodeus invocation.

And yeah, it was terrifying.

A lot of new info for me, but thanks for it. Didn't know that spirits might actually test a person, but it actually makes sense. It should even more on LHP, though there I give myself enough soda myself. Lol. Though I think that they might have tested me few times. (probably failed in those...)

For the testing - As far as I know, mostly from researching wealth magick related entities - there are of course different characters.
Very much depends on the outcome one wishes to manifest - When your goal is to become financially independent, there will only be real progress if you behave in certain ways and do your part, so Clauneck for example will help very little or very much depending on ones commitment.

Kind of comparable to the famous Muses that appear when one 'shows up every day' getting better in ones craft.

Then there are some that are known for being more strict or unforgiving energies like Mammon, but that is also related to the complex goal of building generational wealth - and all the things one has to do to reach such a goal.

It's basically also related to 'interest to work with you' from them. If you ask for something and are not consistent enough there will be no desire for partnership. In contrast to angelic magick, as demons have free will, or could even be called the embodiment of it.

A different angle I thought about was the one with the parallel to shadow work in psychotherapy. You will have to go deep inside your problems, shortcomings, pain points to release the old habit or neurosis that is holding you back.

Similarly when working with Asmodeus that governs many things related to sex and lust, you are beginning a process of working through your own sexuality and things that come with it- so it's a bit like uncovering and confronting ones programming in formative years related to sexuality, relation to the own body and so on. So these things can come up when working with him to for example reach an sexuality related goal with him.

That's what I meant with testing.

The blood rhesus type thing is very fascinating, but also seems like a well guarded topic that some wild theories exist on, especially the differences and significance of positive vs. negative blood types. So the speculation begins for many when they uncover that the wombs of to be mothers with rh-neg blood types usually reject the seed or embryo of rh-pos men. And it goes deeper into conspiracy stuff when looking at anthropological statistics and royal lineages etc.

Dream related, I yesterday just randomly found out when researching Surgat and Duke Syrach that they have some very interesting powers that can help in the Astral.

Surgat is a gatekeeper and can open Nexions and Gates and also help to astral project from dreams. He and Syrach can help to shapeshift ones astral body into different forms.

I'm not deep enough into my research yet to be able to tell if there are even better partners to accomplish a form of control in these realms.

Alright , before I say anything you have to realise I am a novice in this. So iam only talking from my experience.But I only got sleep paralysis once in my life. I was not just afraid, I was petrified . That's sleep paralysis.

But I realised after a couple of minutes I could actually move my finger tips which were like frozen untill that moment. Then I started moving my fingertips, my whole hand. The thing that was on top of me , which still had a human form actually felt less powerful. Like I was taking its power. Not borrowing but absorbing. Then when I wanted to sit straight and deal with it face to face , I woke up. Maybe a dream but I definitely know that I saw it creeping up and climbing on me. It was not dream. But when it got over , I woke up like it was just a dream.

Maybe it was a dream. And I only had it once .
