3418. Evil spirits, even the worst, cannot arouse those sleeping

I have observed that when bad and even the worst spirits and demons were around me, [so bad] that they could attack other spirits even the worst with their mental images, were unable to do so to those sleeping. For while I was awake I noticed sleeping spirits with me, and that although I was then surrounded by such [evil ones], they still could not at all move or arouse those sleeping.
