I Animate My Sleep Paralysis Experience

“Wait isn’t there supposed to be something scary”
Muffled closet sounds: “Hi sisters!”

Daidus: Wait....isn't this supposed to be scary?
Daidus' Brain: A'ight. I got you, bro. *summons demon*

Imagine if yelling while in sleep paralysis was actually loud and everyone could hear it

considering my imagination about dangerous creatures
I don’t wanna know what my sleep paralysis demon looks like

*“you may not sleep now, there are monsters nearby.”*

Daidus: "wait, isn’t there supposed to be some scary monster?"
Brain: *"Sorry, here's a goatman with wings. Have fun!"*

I have friend who tell me that sleep Paralysis ain't real. Let me tell you from my experience that is the most absolute terrifying thing to go through. I feel his pain, the only way I came out of it was when my mom came in to check on me and saw that I looked "weird" so when she started shaking me to wake up, I guess my body took that as a sign to snap out of it's trance. And I was freed from my sleep paralysis. Then I proceeded to cry like a baby in her arms.

Him: "Wait isn't this supposed to be scary?"
The goat demon: "I'mma end this man's whole career"

how to prevent having a monster in the corner room:

He only got sleep paralysis because he didn't cover his feet with the blanket

Pro tip: When you have sleep paralysis don’t think of anything scary as it spawns in your room it is technically like a lucid dream but you have to think about a door to enter a lucid dream and then think about moving your body to enter the door in front your body

I had 4 sleep paralysis moments.
1. First time I heard a baby crying down a hallway and a woman hushing and consoling the baby.
2. I felt a presence behind me (I slept on my side) daring me to turn around and look. I don't actually know if I could've even open my eyes but it was terrifying as I just waited it out.
3. Wolf/dog snarling and barking as it walk around me ( I was sleeping on the floor/sleepover) I felt the breath, warmth and could hear every movement of the dog.
4. This was the best one because there wasn't anything but the inability to move is scary alone.
After realizing what it was it makes it better, but it is still terrifying in the moment.
However, I can say some nightmares can rival the sleep paralysis.
Around middle school wasn't the best years of my life.

The worst thing about sleep paralysis demons is that they don’t pay rent

“Wait isn’t this supposed to be scary?”
Demon:
*Aight imma head in*

My sleep paralysis never had a “monster” in it. The fear, if there was any, either came from fearing that I would never wake up fully/regain control of my body or from fearing that I would die b/c I couldn’t breathe. Turns out my blanket was covering my nose.

“Isn’t this supposed to be scary?”
Demons: *Thats my cue!*

*sees "sleep paralysis"
*F L A S H B A C K S I N T E N S I F I E S*

Lucid dream : creative mode
Normal dream: survival mode
Wet dream : adventure mode
Sleep paralysis : hardcore mode

i get sleep paralysis very often and i always see something like a shadow with no precise shape and it's just there staring at me from the corner and even when it goes away i can't fucking fall asleep again so i just sit in the bed rethinking my life choices for the rest of the night lmao

Daidus: wait, isnt there supposed to be a scary monster
The demon : ho oh your aproching me?!

"wait, isn't there supposed to be some scary monster?"
top 10 words before disaster

This is the best description of my sleep paralysis anyone could have told. Thank you!

I use to get sleep paralysis multiple times a night (still get it often). Ya, you kind of get use to it.
If anyone’s wondering why I had them so frequently, it’s because I have both a mood disorder as chronic pain. Both of which increases the risk of getting sleep paralysis significantly. Since I’ve been treated for both and my pain is under better management the frequency of the occurrences has gone down noticeably.

Daidus: “Isn’t there meant to be a monster?”
Daidus’s brain: “oh thanks for reminding me”
Daidus: Wait n-

Plot twist: The demon was gonna help you up

1:25 damn he awakened the Byakugan during his sleep paralysis.

One time in one day (prob almost morning) i got like several (4-7) sleep paralysis moments and every single time it happened it was basically just "oh shit, not this again" and just mentally screaming and (no monster) just trying to wake my body up using whatever strength i have and just trying to move... eventually i always ended giving up and just falling asleep, and then my last sleep paralysis which is like between 6-7am i actually regained control but instead of feeling "refreshed" i felt like a train wreck, my sleeping time had traffic, felt like i got hangover and got drunk.

“Isn’t there suppose to be something scary”
-furry enters the room-

it's not a demon.
it's just a black alpaca with big horns that is trying to stand like a human.

As someone who has sleep paralysis very often, one time a demon was strangling me and I accidentally strangled it back 🧍‍♀️

After undergoing it on almost a daily basis, I learnt the art of aggressive humming sounds and my brother sleeping beside me woke me up.. Works like a charm everytime.

It doesn’t even have to be scary, once it was just a cat staring at me... while it sat in a bowl of ramen and ate it.

"Isn't there supposed to be something scary?"
*James Charles Appears*

This reminded me of whenever I have dreams, because half the time I know it's a dream, but by nature I always imagine dreams as nightmares, so it could be a really happy dream, but then I realise that it's a dream and then start thinking myself about a bunch if scary things that ate supposed to happen and then they appear in the dream. So I might be lucid dreaming but in a bad way. This is why I don't want control of my dreams, because I always make them scarier.

Daidus personally in my experience with sleep paralysis i couldnt see my monster but i could feel it, also seeing with your eyes closed feels so uncomfortable

Daidus: Wait isn't there supposed to be something scary?
*Middle school memories appear*

“He’s just standing there.... *MENACINGLY* “

I swear I have a sleep paralysis demon who has been haunting me since I was 13. Idk sometimes I wake up and there's a hand pressing down on my neck or tapping my ribcage but I'm completely paralysed.

I had a sleep paralysis once and I have the same feeling as you- sort of. I was laying down on my back trying to fall asleep but suddenly I couldn’t move. My cat was licking himself but for some reason it sounded like a women was saying: “ be cautious, don’t do it” and then I saw a tall figure starring at me until my cat jumped of the bed and I was able to movw

You only see the monster because you were thinking of him
Imagine a turtle with a cool hat

How it feels to chew 5 gum

I always wonder... I never had sleep paralysis, so I can't fathom how it might feel to actually go through it. But I always hear that sleep paralysis is kinda like a mixed mode of real world and dream world. Kinda like Augmented Reality. So given your real environment, but the dream-like nature of the events, aren't you also kind of in control of the events then? Like in this video, it made it seem like thinking about the monsters, made them appear.
What if someone with recurring sleep paralysis can control the dream elements of that state. And instead of monsters they can create a "favorable" scenario.
What are wet dreams, amiright?
Regardless of what might be possible in this state, I would actually like to experience a sleep paralysis once. For the kick, I want to know how it feels like (or not feels like) and what exactly can happen (or not).

I love your drawings and animating its so cool

Me: *has sleep paralysis at 3am**
*turns head to look in the corner**
James Charles: hEy sIsTeRs

bruh he was procrastinating to much that his brain forgot do add the demon

god i wish i can get paralysis again cause im fully aware of the illusions and the mind so its fascinating to watch the shadowy figures float around the room. But i cant anymore for some reason. Im good at realizing whats dreaming and could change it to a lucid dream.
also "Isnt this supposed to be a scary experience?"
has the same energy as "Teacher wasnt there homework?"

I had sleep paralysis once, it was a very similar experience of a shadowy figure in the corner. Unfortunately, I didn't have the benefit of knowing about sleep paralysis, so I thought someone had actually broken into my apartment. It was maximum paranoia!.... As soon as I was able to move again I frantically checked all the locks on my door and windows. It wasn't until I looked it up online and realized it must've been sleep paralysis that I was able to calm down a bit.

he’s just standing there... *MENACINGLY*

i had sleep paralysis one time
my sleep paralysis demon was the fricking sun from teletubbies

When I was five until I was six, and sometimes this still happens (VERY RARELY) I used to have sleep paralysis every single day, when I was FIVE and SIX. It was like a reoccurring thing, like an angel would litterally murder me-(idk why) and I would be on one of those like rectangle wooden things where your strapped down and I couldn’t move.
It was like sleep paralysis and a dream mixed together, because I couldn’t move and my room was around me and everything like you described, except for I was strapped down to (like I said) one of those wooden recangle torture things.
The thing is I only discovered it was sleep paralysis after watching this video. Damn-

this video made me laugh so hard u deserve a sub

The fact that his feet weren’t covered by the blanket scared me
Edit : thank you so much for all the likes and comments :)

Daidus: 5:21
Sleep Paralysis Demon:
*wtf- I'm out of here*

sleep paralysis gets even better when you are home alone and you hear extremely realistic sounds of someone trying to open the door

Bro, it sounds scary but you make it look so funny

"Wait, isn't there supposed to be something scary?"
*unfixed movie Sonic appears*

for anyone interested, the reason that the demon popped up when he thought “isn’t this supposed to be scary” it’s because sleep paralysis hallucinations are just your mind. since he was so chill in the beginning, nothing happened since he wasn’t panicking. but when he thought about it, that’s when the panic came in, therefore there was a demon in the room. as he saw it, he panicked even MORE, which made it scarier.
the other reason he could see his whole room was because of memory. when you memorize your room, you know everything about it, so his imagination allowed him to see the whole room.
last explanation. the reason he couldn’t move is because his mind woke up before his body. basically, when you sleep, your body goes into a paralysis. when you wake up, it’s supposed to let you take control of your body again, but sometimes your brain doesn’t function properly, therefore your mind wakes up before your body, putting you into a paralysis.

I don't really have a mind's eye, so I just notice a shadowy presence in the corner of the room when I get sleep paralysis.

Daidus: sleep paralysis is cool
Demon: sorry im late
Daidus: EEEEEEEEEEK

if you ever sleep paralysis... Remember!
*this is just a genjutsu*

Normal people during sleep paralysis: *Screaming and panicking*
Me: Hey yo, wanna be my stand?
Sleep paralysis demon: 😐

I've had this many times before and whenever it happens i just relax and stare at my ceiling but it's weird cause unlike others i don't see or hear anything scary. I guess the more you're scared the more you probably hallucinate things idk. But its dangerous to actually get super relaxed in this state because I've experienced this before that i just suddenly gets in vibrational state and i freaked out inside, i didn't even realize i almost did an astral projection.

right after the figures in my dream were close to my face I woke up sweaty and traumatized later on i stayed up the whole night

No one:
My sleep paralysis demon:
👁️👅👁️

Everyone’s sleep paralysis: *scary demons*
My sleep paralysis: *an iPad with wings*
Edit: I’m not kidding

It's kind of weird, but that demon looks like a draft I found in a Disney book: it was a sketch of the villainous dear that Bambi faces off when trying to defend Feline. That storyboard drawing covered two entire pages, so that extreme close up of its firey eyes was pretty intense for a kid.

Curious question:
What did your Sleep Paralysis demon look like?
Mine was a pair of disembodied large squinted red glowing eyes with a pitch black shadow behind it. It also had a low growl and it would hover over me.
It was pretty creepy.

The demon:”mommy said it’s my turn on the Xbox”

In my sleep paralysis, I couldn't breath...
Worst feeling...

Patrick starfish be like he's just standing there "menacingly" lol

🤣🤣🤣 Growing up I always had these
It was freaking tearable don't remember the dreams but shore do remember the feeling fear

In Russia, demons get sleep paralysis.

When I had sleep paralysis I realized that whatever you think is what shows up so I thought of turtles dressed like Michael Jackson,It was beautiful.

In high school I got really into lucid dreaming and I wanted to try. Online, I found that one of the steps was to induce sleep paralysis. So I tried.
TL:DR I had sleep paralysis into lucid dream which was interrupted by my pets.
So, when I sleep, I sleep with the blanket covering my head, leaving only my nose out.
But when I woke up, I was sleeping arms and legs spread wide with one leg under the blanket and a leg dangling over the bed. I had one eye half open and could see the roof, but in my mind's eye, I could see the entire room. It was extremely strange to be able to see and not see at the same time... I don't know how to describe it. It was as if my eyes were open and looking at something that I knew was there (The roof) but my brain was processing something completely different (The entire room). I just thought, "Wow this is weird." and then realized, I couldn't fucking move.
Me, starting to freak out, realizes that there is a fucking shadow arm thing poking out from under the bed reaching up towards my leg that is dangling. I start internally screaming. This shadow thing slowly crawls out from under the bed, and I see a hand, arm, shoulder, other hand, arm, head. Except.... It was doing the crawling thing where the stomach was pointing up and it's head was looking up. The hands like folded behind it and moving it. It was so fucking freaky. When the entire thing came out and stood up, it's head did a 360 and stared right at my sleeping face and I ended up like "passing out" like my brain gave up.
Then, my brain was back and I was in my room again. Except, I realized that the monster thing was gone. I still couldn't move, but even though I was freaking out a little the monster didn't come. So I slowly started to calm down and just tried to "fall back asleep" kind of thing. I listen to ASMR to sleep, like Japanese ear cleaning stuff, so I was imagining me using a cute girl's lap as a pillow and she was brushing my hair. Then, I start tripping the fuck out. I see bright lights, but it wasn't bright. I don't know how to describe it. It's like you see white, but it doesn't glow?
And then I start dreaming. I was flying above a city and I realized I could move around. I fly to the ground and look at the people I had imagined They were all frozen, and I saw a girl (Short hair bob cut, short and cute. I don't know why I was able to imagine the figure of the girl so vividly but not the face) who I can't remember the face off but for some reason I felt it looked familiar. I got closer to the girl to get a look, then all of a sudden the surroundings disappeared and the girl started moving. The face is still blurry and her voice was also mumbled and incomprehensible, but I was moving against my will kind of. She sat down and I laid on her lap and she started brushing my hair.
This goes on for what felt like years in my dream. During it she would touch my face and tickle my ears which I could feel but not feel. I don't know how to describe it. Because it was all my imagination, so I'm guessing it didn't feel right because I never had this experience so my brain was trying to imagine and fill in the gaps. I think what I felt was what I thought it would feel like.
Slowly, the bland white background starts turning into a shade of pink, then red. During this, the girl is still in my vision, and I can see horns growing out of her head. Her skin turns into a shade of purple, and her face which was still blurry, I could tell that her lips were turning black, even though I couldn't make out anything else.
My brain suddenly registers what the hell I am looking at, a succubus, right when I see the heart shaped tail come into view from her other side. Her face, still blurry, shows a smile that I can't even see but my brain is somehow able to comprehend. I felt something poke my head as she brushes my hair and I realize she has long fucking nails. (Mind you, I'm imagining all these feelings, I pretty much imagined the edge of a knife touching my head.)
All of a sudden, she stands up, and carries my unmovable body. She walks for what felt like years. For some reason, it was just as long as when she was normal and giving me a nice relaxing head message. As she was walking, the sky starts tripping the fuck out. It goes from red to green to yellow to blue to purple to black to white to orange. Not rainbow, but it felt random.
Then, she carries me to a bed where she lays me down on. She starts touching my legs then sits on me. She grabs a pillow then starts suffocating me. Then, as I pass out in my dream, I wake up.
I woke up to my dog on my face and my cat on my stomach.

Five years later, and I just wanted to come back and say that this was the video that first made me want to watch V/H/S 2. I've finally manned up enough to start the series, and let me just say, it is definitely some of the most fun I've ever had with a franchise in a *while*.

Monster after he hears the sound be like, "wow you be a wimp, no haunting for you"
*yeets himself*

"Isnt it suppose to be scary?"
Brain : *oh my bad here ya go*

I never realized it but your eyes are still closed when your in sleep paralysis. Your brain basically knows what everything around you looks like, and builds it with the scary stuff in it.

0:42 that's how I feel right now

“Wait shouldn’t this be scary?”
Demon thing: *sorry I’m late, I ran over a child*
.

My paralysis demon was a toilet who can talk with a high pitched annoying voice

I think I usually experience the first part of the daidus's sleep paralysis as I never think about monsters and stuff lol
all i experience is a cool view of my room while my eyes are closed lol

@3:15 I have no mouth but i must scream

Sleep paralysis: exist*
The monster under my bed:"finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary"

Everyone else’s demon: *Spooky monster*
Mine: *Hey, mom made pancakes*

Ok 2 minutes and 11 seconds in, and I can safely say Daidus encountered a Type 3 Alternate

worse thing about sleeping paralysis is if you go back to sleep and it happens again right away...its like season 2 of sleeping paralysis, and what's even worse it can happen again the 3rd time its like being trapped in a genjutsu loop

When your controller dies in a game and you watch helplessly as the enemy team kills you

*"You only want to eat my spaghettios!"*

Only had had lucid dreaming-
Also the door closing and opening in the end card was unexpected

how to turn sleep paralysis into a lucid dream
step 1: relax, remember everything is in your head.
step 2: imagine somewhere you want the lucid dream to happen.
step 3: imagine yourself standing in the place you imagined before.
now you will slowly teleport to the lucid dream. (i think)

Random fact: you get sleep paralysis when your very very tired.
edit: by the way, the reason why you a have a monster in your sleep paralysis is because your brain makes you think that. On 1:49 and his brain imagined a goat with wings monster. *SO THE POINT HERE IS, YOUR BRAIN MAKES THE MONSTER.* (to the others who didnt understand what i explained. im not good at explaining tho)

5:20
"Daidus used growl"
"It was very effective!"

Bro the itachi crow and furbie is just so hilarious

When I had it , it was just an eye on my lampshade staring down at me, shifting the pupil a bit sometimes and every few minutes blinking. This went on for hours. Until it became light outside and I realised I could move it disappeared , felt like silent torture lol

True definition of internally screaming
I appreciate the spoopiness

1:46 You know u already flipped up when u don’t cover your feet when u go to sleep

When I had sleep paralysis I didn’t know you were meant to see demons or something like that. So I didn’t see anything scary. But it was still terrifying to not be able to move at all.
