A Sleep Paralysis Demon is when you're sleeping, then startled into a half-awake state, in which a scary creature, (often gargoyle-like), has you in its grasp. Usually from behind. You can feel its body against your and its claws digging into your skin. You are frozen. Perhaps frozen in fear. But not necessarily, since I've tried to fight them off, but I'm still frozen. Your partially awake mind, wonders how it got in your room. You will assume through the window. As they are often hawk-like, or Doberman-like, you figure they just crashed through the window. If it's man, it's scarier, because he's usually squeezing your jewels. If you stay cool, and keep reaching for your rational mind, logic will win out, and the fear will dissipate rather quickly, and you'll wake up. On the other hand, if you're the emotional type and given to weird beliefs, as you start thawing you flip your sh*t and start screaming. This is the "Night Terror" part of it.
