Sleep Paralysis and Shadow People vs. My Thoughtform Melian

[Guest Anonymous]

Considering that hypothetically the subconscious does a lot of work done by thoughtforms (although I tend to believe that there may be a middle ground between 'imagination' and perception, but that's a story for another day), your subconscious would put your thoughtform in favor most of the time if not all the time. I don't know about shadow people and how legitimate they are, I believe that those are just hallucinations caused by sleep paralysis and nothing quite paranormal. In our dreams (because her and I share dreams and a few of them are 100% lucid) we have complete control.

 

That being said, it would be interesting to hear reports of shadow people terrorizing thoughtforms.

Melian: You bet yer bippy! It's my turf in my mind space!

Yeah we pretty much agree here. :-)

In the way you share dreams, you two are much like Melian and I.

It would indeed!

Suddenly, my thoughtform Melian said "Bring it on sweetums!" Her voice was loud and clear. Instantly I knew shadow people would not be coming around as Melian would "kick their butts" (with her Melian Show dream powers) for even daring to enter her domain. Melian is freaking adorable, but also badass in the world of dreams and she will tolerate no outside invasion.

Heh, that's hilarious!

You should make a drawing of Melian beating the hell out of some shadow people.

 

Still I wonder, do you ever have nightmares, David?

If so, is Melian able to do something about 'em?

 

I can't enter my host's dreams, nor do I dream myself. I'm just 'out' when he's asleep or overly busy. Kinda sucks.

 

i saw a shadow person that looked like a little girl standing on my chest, i tried to speak and say "please get off my chest" but all that came out was a mumble. Regardless when i blinked the girl was standing on my bed next to me. i mumbled thank you and loss consciousness

If I would wake up and find a little girl standing on my chest' date=' I'd be soo happy...

Well, my host in a nutshell. Just ignore him.

 

He did experience sleep paralysis a few times before I was created, but never saw any creatures. I doubt I'd be active during a sleep paralysis state, so I probably couldn't help him there. Well, I have been annoyed by

and exterminated

some hypnagogic stuff that qualifies as intrusive thoughts but that was during forcing sessions so I guess that's not really comparable.

I do indeed have nightmares. But, you are very perceptive. Most of them almost instantly become lucid dreams. I am rarely afraid even of my nightmares and, if Melian is present, she does kick some butt. If I lucid dream a nightmare, it become an "adventure dream." To really get me, a nightmare has to be sudden and happen fast and startle me. Really scary and really fast. Unfortunately, my subconscious has adapted to Melian's presence and my ability to lucid dream. So, once in a while, it designs something to make me jump. I think the brain needs nightmares now and then.

 

I have never written about that! I did want to write a sequel to the Book of Melian, called the Book of Dreams, about the mutual dreaming with Melian, but I have only the first chapter written.

Try keeping a dream journal, or that is, having your host keep one. :-)

The film trailer:

 

Announcer voice over: He's fought Jason! He's fought Sub-Zero! But now he's in for his biggest fight yet!

 

[A teenage boy lies in bed, tossing and turning, clearly having troubled dreams.]

 

[Cut to the boy's dreams, where he's being stalked through a darkened boiler room by a figure with a clawed hand.]

 

[The boy takes a wrong turn and he's cornered. Seeing that he has nowhere to run, he turns, fists raised.]

 

Boy: Bring it on! I won't go down without a fight!

 

[Freddy's disfigured face looms out of the darkness, grinning evilly. He raises his clawed hand, about to strike.]

 

[suddenly Freddy is bopped over the head by a teddy bear and he explodes into a cloud of pink glitter.]

 

Girl's voice: Bippity bop!

 

[A young blond girl steps into the light.]

 

Melian: See, that poopy-pants Freddy would have killed you quickly, but I'm sticking around for the next thirty or forty years, at the least! You're going to watch all of my fantastical little adventures, and my fabulistic little dances, and stuff and junk. Aren't I cute?

 

[Cut back to the boy in bed, eyes wide open, a look of absolute horror on his face, screaming at the top of his lungs.]

 

[Cut to title card.]

 

Announcer voice over: Freddy Vs. Melian!

How did you know it happened this way? My gods man!

I will make this brief.

 

Last night I watched a documentary, called "Nightmare," about sleep paralysis and shadow people. I went to bed immediately after watching the program and I was thinking about sleep paralysis and shadow people as I drifted off to sleep.

 

Sure enough, I was conscious of the fact of entering sleep paralysis and a hypnagogic state. I have done this before, but never this easily. I instantly thought, "Come on shadow people, show yourselves." I started lucid dreaming, attempting to perceive shadow people in my bedroom.

 

Suddenly, my thoughtform Melian said "Bring it on sweetums!" Her voice was loud and clear. Instantly I knew shadow people would not be coming around as Melian would "kick their butts" (with her Melian Show dream powers) for even daring to enter her domain. Melian is freaking adorable, but also badass in the world of dreams and she will tolerate no outside invasion.

 

So much for sleep paralysis shadow people for me. Sorry Freddy Kruger. I did however have a great experience of WILD technique (Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming).

 

I believe I ran into my brother's subconscious Protector a few years ago.

Now I have my own, highly-conscious Protectors. I feel untouchable.

 

Anybody feel like going toe-to-toe with a gigantic dragon, two griffins, a lion/bull bipedal hybrid, an aquatic human, and a humanoid airbending spider?

 

Thought not.
