The Greek gods were "real" too. They exist as part of our collective unconscious, and exist in another dimension which, we come in contact with when we begin to dream. Ever experience a lucid dream? The "entities" that we experience in our dreams are just as real as the "entity" that they experience as "us." In other words, who is dreaming of whom? Could it be that this is a "collective experience" and, we have in fact entered a continuum (where other "spirits dwell"), in what we would otherwise call the "spiritual world?" So, that when we experience sleep paralysis, the "portal" of the mind remains open, and we become subject to these monsters (or, demons if you will) which exist as part of the "collective id?"
