Why am i paralyzed in my dreams! its creepy..?

okay, i have been having this dream where i cant talk/yell/ and move. i feel something evil is around me, WHY IS THAT. i get this heavy feel in my chest and i cant breathe well. ((physically im healthy)) i have this dream SO often its not even funny. it feels as though im being absorbed into something. and also something screams in my ear soo loud it feaks me out. i cant move and i know im not dreaming or it seems like it. whenever this happens i feel like something evil is around me trying to kill me, other times it feels like god is talking to me, and other times it seems like something is calling out for help. ((the yelling sound i hear)) it freaks me out so bad. I know im not the only one hvaing this kind of dreams becuz i know some people had them too. I heard this is some kind of evil spirit thing. IS THAT TRUE!?! Becuz if it is, thats going to freak me out. I hate having this experience, its one of the worst experience you can get. I have it soo often this days its scary. How do i prevent this? i tried talking to god, and saying the lords prayer but sometimes it doesnt help. what do i doo!! what the cause of this. Why am i hearing this yelling sound! also it feels like im awake when im really sleeping. its like your sleeping but really your not.!!!

    This scary thing is called sleep paralysis my dear. In sleep paralysis your body goes in to REM(rapid eye movement) state. In this state your body paralyzes itself so you don't act out your dreams ya know like sleep walking? Anyways REM state is usually when we are dreaming. When we awake from REM before our body is fully awake that's when you can't talk or can't move. Lots of people recall that they see someone in the room, noises, see things, etc.But really we are hallucinating. There is no way to prevent it but you can help it by sleeping sideways not up.I also experience sleep paralysis and I hate it!

    Oh and the spirit thing comes from the "old hag" theory. Some people think that when your sleeping demons torture you or something. Almost 50% of America experiences this.

    This is very frightening and intense. Truly, I'm sorry for you. If there is some angry spirit with you, that could be dangerous. Clearly, this spirit is angry and in rage and full of hate. It feels like you are it's target. Your paralysis, symbolizes that you are being trapped somehow. Keep praying.
