Back in the beginning of 2010 stresses started to pile up (broke up with significant other and he was going nutso on me, added another job, school stuff, lack of sleep).
I fell asleep one night and then woke up about 30 minutes later. I couldn't move and felt this heavy weight on top of me! But I was awake and could look around my room. And guess what. THERE WAS A PERSON SITTING ON MY CHEST. It was only "humanoid," I would say. I couldn't see a face, just this dark presence with smoke and sh*t coming off of it. It was all very cinematic. I had the direct impression that it was a demon who was there to punish me. This went on for about a full minute, unable to move and just this dude sitting on top of me. Then slowly the weight lifted and I was able to bring myself up to a sitting position, and the "demon" slipped away.
But there was no moment where I woke up. I just sat up. Know what I mean? I was awake from the very beginning. It was a hallucination. And apparently, not entirely uncommon.
I did some googling and found out about it, and ran across this picture. When I did, I yelled out, "That's it! That's it!" It completely captured the moment.
I wasn't totally scared, it was more of an "um wow, um wow, um wow" moment.
Throughout the rest of 2010 similar things happened but not to that full of a degree. I would wake up and there would be things floating around my room. One creepy time I woke up and there was a head sticking out of my wall, it was gold and red and it turned to look at me. All these times I had "woken up" but parts of my brain were still asleep.
From the light research that I've done, this stuff happens when your mind wakes up before your body does, or your body wakes up before your mind does. Add an element of stress/nightmares to the mix and you've got demonic visitations! I don't believe that it was actually a demon but I was telling my Catholic friend about it and she gave me a crucifix to hang on my bedpost. Which I did. Better safe than sorry huh? Those things seem to work in the movies.

Honestly I think the whole thing is pretty neat and really interesting.
