To all the people claiming to have encountered real demons while APing, lucid dreaming, or just walking to the store...
Wouldn't a real demon just stomp all over you and eat your soul for lunch? As far as I know there are no vegan demons. If real demons existed far more people would have traumatic injuries and scars from their encounters. Instead, all I hear is something like, "yeah that demon was going to KILL ME, but... uhm... then I woke up and I was safe..."
The other possibility is that real demons aren't dangerous. Maybe they are more like my aunt's yappy lap dog.
