thankyou

Ive had a smaller experience like this before as wel and seeing it happens to many more gives one a feeling of comfort, as ur not alone in this.

Yet i do think all of these people must not ignore the immense power of the human brain. They do explain it in this docu but turn back quickly to a more sinister way of looking at this.

In the end we see that no one actually got attacked outside of their dreams. In my point of view, the experience is real, the feeling is as real as it gets. But the hallucinations and the extreme experiences ( i hope ) has more to do with the capability of the human brain when these victims are so intensly terrified. When u have that much fear of the devil day in day out, im not surprised your brain will make this hallucination ... Your fear made ur brain do this.

Ive often lay awake in bed, not able to sleep for hours ... So many fear and scary thoughts running through my head ... And in the end.
You fall asleep somewhere during the night and when u wake up again ... Nothing actualy happened.

Im not denying that people do see shadows or demonic entities, but i feel that their fear did this to themselves.

No, i don't think he was saying that we make it happen on purpose (I too have suffered severely from this condition). I think he's trying to say that because it comes from our brains, these nightmares know all our weaknesses and phobias. The fact that it is in our heads means we can't get away from it or choose to make it stop. He's essentially saying (I think) that the brain is all powerful, all knowing and omnipresent when it comes to each individual. It cuts right to the very question of "if you were insane, would you know it? Could you do anything about it?"

It's very easy to feel insane when you are sleep deprived and tormented by nightmares and the line between dreaming and waking is blurry.
