https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxDd_HD5Qus
My first video about preventing night terrors only covered one small way of combatting them: mainly via the use of vinegar, the fumes of which interfere with a malevolent entity’s ability to manifest on the physical plane.
If you’ve already tried vinegar at your bedside and regular hoodoo baths and are still having night terrors, it may be time to get out the heavy artillery.
First, a bit of a rant: The problem with modern psychiatry and psychology is though it addresses some of the mental problems that may be causing night terrors, it has absolutely zero understanding of the astral plane, which is where both dreams and night terrors take place. We humans exist in all planes at once — the astral plane is the plane of imagination, and any creature with an imagination, which absolutely includes non-human animals, exists on the astral plane and the physical plane at once. But the astral and physical aren’t the only planes we exist on: every single one of us exists on all of the planes all the time, however, we have limited perception, and unless we are psychic sensitives or trained in the occult, we have no idea what sensory information is coming in from planes other than the material one.
Night terrors are more than just physical, so if you want to make them stop, you are going to have to take more than just a physical approach.
That said, the first line of defense against night terrors is going to be pragmatic stuff like cutting your caffeine intake way down, not marathoning horror films or playing video games until 3am, and not eating a giant, spicy meal before trying to sleep. Basically what you are trying to avoid is the in-between stage of twilight semi-sleep where night terrors tend to happen. Just acting on the physical plane may not be enough, and that’s what frustrates me so much about the various psychiatrists and psychologists who post videos trying to help people with night terrors: in my case. You mean well, but by attempting to convince night terror sufferers that it is all in their heads, you are basically claiming expertise about a subject you know little to nothing about. It’s like the blind leading the blind. Nevertheless, you’ve got to do some practical, physical things to get a better night’s sleep to avoid night terrors, and chances are chronic disease or pain may stop you from doing that. Just do your best to not get too crazy with the caffeine and staying up late is what I’m saying.
The next plane we address is the etheric plane, which is the plane I was essentially talking about in my previous Night Terror video. If the entities in night terrors are described as shadow men, the hag, straight up monsters, demons, ghouls, etc., vinegar can be described as their Kryptonite. The invisible energy known as chi in Chinese medicine and feng shui is the playing field of the etheric plane, and for reasons unexplored by modern science, vinegar just happens to disrupt that energy field in a way that nasty, malicious spirits can’t toy with you when it is present. The same is true of cold, running water, and that’s the occult science behind the hoodoo bath video.
You’ve taken reasonable measures to get decent sleep and you’ve got your vinegar at the bedside, so now it is time to address the astral plane or the plane of dreams and imagination. This is where the Sphere of Protection or some other basic banishing ritual comes in. Learning the Sphere of Protection takes time, but anyone can do it and it is very adaptable and modifiable. One can easily modify it to only invoke the Christian god or no god at all by invoking the forces of nature for various directions. I made a video showing how I personally do it here. The only warning I’ll put here is if you are a kid watching this and you are either not finished or not even going through puberty yet, it’s magically dangerous for you yourself to learn and do this ritual, but it’s fine for a parent or someone who has already been through puberty to do the banishing ritual in your presence. Stick to prayer and asking others to pray to end your night terrors for now, as prayer works on several planes. More on prayer later in this video.
The next plane to address is the mental one, and for the mind, the best thing to both understand and prevent night terrors is discursive meditation. Discursive meditation is where you take an object, a phrase, a part of a concept, or any tidbit from life, focus your attention on it, and think through all of its permutations and implications, opening it as you would a mental ZIP file. For instance, if I make a discursive meditation on a pencil, I will sit there and think of nothing else except thoughts in relation to the pencil: I will consider what the pencil is made out of, where the wood came from, what petrochemicals the synthetic graphite is made out of, the invention of writing, the invention of pens as an alternative, types of pens, the invention of calligraphy, hieroglyphics, and before you know it, thirty minutes have passed and I know everything there is to know about a pencil and then some. I can repeat the same kind of intensive thought process with any subject or object, including elements of my own dreams or situations in my life. If I do this type of mind-filling meditation every day, which I have for approximately three years at the time of making this video, I become a more thoughtful person. It is also very calming and grounding, and that’s the opposite of night terrors.
The final plane to address is the spiritual one, and this is where I suggest you cultivate relationships with beings whom you cannot see but are smarter, better, and more powerful than you are. If you are an atheist, you can think of these beings generically as “nature” and as long as you are doing plenty of discursive meditation and daily protection rituals, you don’t have to invest in any one religious system to be helped out, however, you will have to subdue your own ego and accept that nature is more powerful than you and you do not have limitless control over it. Atheists, and I know this from having been atheist, can tend to be solipsistic and very resistant to forces that would otherwise help them. For everybody else, praying a higher power will be your number one asset in getting rid of night terrors, and it is also a good idea to get everyone who knows you suffer from night terrors to pray to their god or gods on your behalf.
A great book on generally getting rid of nasty spirits and the anxiety and depression that invariably accompany them is Spiritual Cleaning and Protection by Violet Bertelsen.

I hope this helps someone out there get rid of their night terrors. I made this video after watching a woman named Jenna’s video about her awful night terrors and the anxiety they cause her and her family and then watching the next recommended video, which was of a typically clueless psychologist giving almost completely useless advice to those suffering night terrors. If this video helps one person get rid of their night terrors for good, it will gladden my heart and brighten my world. I used to suffer with night terrors, anxiety, and depression and I know they’re no picnic. I hope this video helps you to overcome night terrors and develop habits that improve both your waking and sleeping realities.
