When I was very young I had a lot of terrifying experiences in the dark. I would just sense things in my bedroom. Sometimes the bed would shake or I would see things or hear unexplained noises. I was sure bad people were going to get in the house and hurt me. I was so terrified that it took me over 20 years to start sleeping with the lights out again. I'm not sure what took the fear away...this may sound bad, but I think it was the fact that for a while there I was so depressed I stopped caring WHAT was in the dark. I was suicidal for months on end and I just didn't care if monsters came out of my closet and killed me. I could stare into the eyes of demons without fear because I was completely unfeeling. However, the upside to it was that it feels GREAT to finally be able to turn the lights out when I go to bed, even though I'm no longer depressed.
If you sense something is there, I would try sending love to it. Even if you don't perceive it to be an entity, sending love to the part of you that harbors fear may help. I know it probably sounds cliche, but this tactic has helped me to recover from many a night terror, even the ones that paralyzed me with fear.
