My sleep paralysis demon turned itself into my boyfriend.

Last night was the worst sleep paralysis episode I?ve ever had. I?m 21 years old and I?ve been enduring these episodes for the past 3 years nonstop. At one point I was getting it every night and as a result I would purposely stay up in order to not go through it again which resulted in me being diagnosed with insomnia. The most days I?ve gone without sleep is three days all because I was terrified of going through the paralysis again and again.
Last night before I went to sleep, something felt strange and off. I believe in the paranormal and have had crazy amounts of experiences all throughout my life so as I was going to bed I told myself I wouldnt be surprised if I went through an episode that night.
Now, since I go through this way too many times, I sleep with a strong flashlight on and NEVER sleep on my back.
As I kept drifting into sleep I had a strange and eerie dream. I was sleeping in my room but I could see people I knew sitting at the foot of my bed just staring at me. There was someone from high school that also just sat there but instead of staring they were taking pictures of me fast asleep.
I was sleeping on my side and I started hearing a really loud buzz and a clock ticking really loudly which terrified me because I dont have a clock in my room nor anything that buzzes. I opened my eyes for just a second and realised something was off. I was stuck, and I started to panic because usually I can try to move a finger or two to help with waking up but this time I couldnt move at all. I shut my eyes as quick as I could and a few seconds later the ticking clock started getting louder and suddenly, I felt something lay down next to me.
I teared up. What?s happening? Why does this feel so real? Why can?t I move a finger or toe? Who?s next to me?
I tried calling out for my dad but of course, nothing came out. Usually when I attempt to call for someone I can get a small peep out of me but this time again, I was completely stuck.
Suddenly whatever was laying next to me started caressing my hair and it?s hand was going down my face to my collar bones. It felt so real. I was shocked and absolutely terrifed.
Now some quick backstory: My sleep paralysis episodes are always the same. It?s always just a silhouette that enters my room and gets closer and closer to me each time but I can never see its face. The last time this happened it was standing right in front of me next to my bed and I managed to wake up.
After it was done touching my hair and face, it put its arms around me as if it were trying to cuddle me and make me the little spoon. I tried getting out of its arms but I couldnt and when I heard it chuckle I froze.
?Mario??
Mario is my boyfriend?s name and when it chuckled it sounded EXACTLY like him.
?Mario what are you doing??
It responded.
?I?m trying to hold you, what are you doing? Why do you keep moving? Don?t you want me to hold you? You love when I hold you.?
It wouldnt let me go.
I was scared, never has it spoken, never has it touched me. I kept trying to shake and get out of its arms and it pulled me on top of him. My back was on its stomach and I could feel Mario?s beard on the side of my face.
?It?s me, I swear.?
It pulled my hand and made me touch its ?hair.? Mario has really curly hair and he styles it in such a specific way I knew right away as I felt it that yes, it was his hair.
?Mario please you?re hurting me.?
?No I?m not stop being such a drama queen.?
Of course I already knew this wasn?t actually him, but him calling me a drama queen and denying he was hurting me made me believe it even more. Even when the real Mario and I play wrestle if I tell him he?s hurting me he backs off and apologizes profusely.
The thing set me back down on my side and I opened my eyes just a bit and swallowed a shriek when I saw my ?little brother? standing next to me by my bed. He didnt say anything, just stared. At this point I was bawling and my brother and I are super close so I would never dream of doing this forreal, but I panicked. I didnt know what to do, this was the longest episode I?ve ever had. I managed to find some strength and I shoved my hand into my brother?s mouth for some reason and tried hurting it somehow inside of the mouth. I didnt know what I was doing. I was desperate.
After a few seconds of pulling his teeth he started going down, and while he went down, the arms started letting go. I was no longer being held aggressively. Before ?Mario? left he whispered into my ear, ?what the f*ck? Why?s the clock so damn loud?? and boom, everything stopped.
I layed there on my side. I was crying, I could still feel the tears coming down the side of my face. It was 3:30 AM. I turned on the room light and put on a soothing song and waited for 4AM to fall back asleep.
The next morning my dad came into my room to probably check why my light was on. I woke up and told him everything.
?That?s weird...? he said. ?I also woke up at 3:30 last night. I felt someone was staring at me and when I grabbed a flashlight I saw you standing at the foot of my bed. Just smiling at me.?
Never has the silhouette done something like this. I never thought it would go that far. But this thing created itself into two of the people that mean the most in my life to me.
Part of me doesnt think it was the silhouette. Part of me thinks it was a demon, disguising itself into people I love dearly. I don?t know. I?m scared.
I?m not gunna sleep tonight.
