LONG DESCRIPTION:
Sleep paralysis has terrified people for centuries. Many report waking up unable to move, sensing a presence in the room, or even seeing shadow figures standing over them.
But what if there’s more to these experiences than a neurological glitch?
In this conversation, Vicki Joy Anderson, author of They Only Come Out at Night: Exposing the Dark Weapon of Sleep Paralysis, shares her personal journey and decades of research into the phenomenon.
Raised in a Christian home yet experiencing terrifying sleep paralysis from childhood, Vicki explores how trauma, spiritual warfare, and identity struggles may intersect in ways many people — including the church — don’t fully understand.
In this episode we discuss:
• The difference between normal sleep paralysis and spiritual encounters
• Childhood trauma and how it may create vulnerability
• Why many experiencers feel a presence in the room
• The connection between identity, lies we believe, and spiritual oppression
• Why simply saying “in Jesus’ name” doesn’t always end the attacks immediately
• How healing from trauma and renewing the mind can break cycles of torment
• The spiritual deception that can arise from supernatural encounters
If you’ve ever experienced sleep paralysis, night terrors, or unexplained spiritual experiences, this conversation will challenge you to think more deeply about what might be happening.
