This has only happened to me once..But i did not feel a presence was there. It was morning and I could see the room,but I could not move. It was very disturbing.
It's happened to me a couple of times. It's pretty weird, but pretty cool at the same time. I dream about ghosts too. Edit: ...and by the way just what exactly is that demon doing?
I had this happen to me, well, sort of. I guess I was able to sit up or so I thought, but there was a dark human like shadow thing in the doorway watching me, and then within about 20 seconds of staring at it it vanished into the door frame. I wasn't afraid, I was more curious as to what the hell it was.
I read that they were able to use brain stimulation to induce the sensation there was another person/being in the room,when in reality,the subject was alone. I can't find the report on this now though. sigh
