Sometimes when I fall asleep I have to go through this obstacle course of strange sensations from being prodded in the back to being molested (literally). All this occurs in sleep paralysis I'm fully aware of myself falling asleep but its not always easy to pass through from wake to sleep because of these sensations. Reading about sleep paralysis a lot of people think these things are actually entities and a lot of people have also been molested by them. As hilarious as it is the idea of being molested by entities I can't help but suspect some kind of gambit at play. Why would these things be trying to make one feel uneasy during this transition state. Could it be to prevent you from entering the dreaming state? Could it be they want you to leave your body (sleep paralysis is an excellent launch pad). What would their reasons be to mess with you like that? I don't really subscribe to the notion that they are entities though I think its just some kind of strange phenomena that manifests in various ways depending on things like what position you sleep in (I sleep on my side), how heavy your blanket is and what areas of your body its touching and what your thinking about as you fall asleep. Hypothesizing that they are entities though what would you say their motivations are for setting up this roadblock or obstacle course making it difficult to enter the dreaming state?
