    Ok, so:

    Sleep paralysis demons are hallucinations experienced during sleep paralysis, a condition where the body is temporarily paralyzed, often during the transition between sleep and wakefulness.

    So what's the joke here, that for some people the experience is pleasant in a sexually deviant kind of way?

      As knowledge of sleep paralysis spread through the internet, people quickly memed on the concept of having your own demon that watches you sleep. Lot's of impact font memes beginning with "My paralysis demon... " changing this rather horrifying concept into just an imaginary friend or room mate.

      The joke here is that Debra's demon would rather spend time with that man, and Debra misjudged how close their "friendship" was. Like the awkward situation of realising one's best friend is best friends with someone else.

        Over the years, I've gotten more accustomed to my sleep paralysis episodes. (Partially because I've trained my husband to wake me when I hum in bed. I can't scream, but I can do a dull, monotone hum.) The result has been my brain making my sleep paralysis demons move towards me faster. in fact, they've recently started full-on sprinting at me and jumping towards me in bed. I can even hear their feet pounding as they run down the hallway.

        Anyway, I do kinda miss it when they just hovered over my bed instead. So, I feel this comic.

        My husband didn't know I had these episodes back when he first started sleeping over at my place. The first time I had one, I awoke him as I lunged at the air above me, seemingly trying to choke thin air. (For me, the paralysis always seems to lift "all at once." And, at the time, I frequently felt the "demons" were sucking my energy. I wanted to stop them. I think this was my brain's way of rationalizing feeling lethargic the day after an episode.)

        Anyway, my husband asked me "what was that!?" I groggily responded "she just wants our money I bet, hah!" and just fell right back asleep.

        He was confused and terrified. He kept talking to me until I woke up enough to explain what happened.

          The demon requires a good host with healthy and balanced diet.

              That sounds fucking terrifying! But also hilarious that they learn, adapt, and overcome

                  i can scream my way out, but it sounds very, very muffled until i'm actually awake. I'm not sure if my mouth is open or i've just got my tongue bunched up in front of the windpipe, but i've had good success. just takes, like sometimes a minute of dream screaming

                    Wow, I never had a manifestation. I just woke on the couch one morning and realized I didn't have control over my breathing and couldn't move. I was living alone and unemployed at the time and it occurred to me that if I was actually frozen in place that no one would find me, potentially, for a very long time.

                    I tried to scream but nothing came out. After what seemed to be ages, I heard about 3/4 of a second of loud static and passed back out. I woke up some short time "I think" later groggy but able to get up.

                    But I have no idea people actually saw manifestations, I guess in retrospect what I had could have been worse.

                      It’s not about sleep paralysis.
