Naaahhhh, that's lame.
Dear Writer,
It is obvious you are experiencing what is medically documented as "sleep paralysis" along with concomitant somnabulistic hallucinations typical of this experience. If it persists and troubles you, see a sleep disorder specialist. If it starts to happen during your waking hours, and this troubles you, see a psychiatrist.
Otherwise -- since sleep paralysis is a common occurrence over which you basically have no control -- and since succubi (plural of succubus, which also is not capitalized generally since it is a common noun like "dog" or "cat") are not real in the first place -- carry on. You have nothing to worry about and nothing to feel guilt over. Choosing to look upon or fantasize about a woman may be lust and therefore sin, but hallucinating a mythical creature that doesn't actually exist is neither a choice nor an indulgence. It's not your fault in any way, shape, or form, so no matter what else happens, don't waste your time stressing, worrying, and guilt-tripping yourself about it.
I'm off now to apply my homespun wisdom, "Mythology implies myths," to my own religion and everything it holds sacrosanct, as I ought to have done forty years ago. Blessings to you!
Sincerely,
Your Clandestine CF Chaplain and Minister of Silly Sleepwalks
