-Hello to all from mexico, this is my first post here in the forum, and is about questions I have about dangerous gnomes. THE FOLLOW TEXT REALLY IS NOT A JOKE, BUT IS REALLY TRUE AT ALL. (Sorry in advance for my "not so clear" english idiom).
-ŋHow can a human been protected itself against the gnomes (I said here gnomes but these beens which I refer may be others like goblins elfs gremlins trolls etc) whos stolen human breath (with their own mouths riding on the bed) when these human beens CANīT defense itself when they are sleeping?, because is too much common what these fact occour at a big number of people at their own beds while they sleep, and they donīt know what to doing for defense against this particular damage abuse which making some bad gnomes.
-All these may sound like the copy of a well knowed ancient movie, but really is a true fact which is suffer for vary real people. These people frequently said meanwhile these fact was occour, they only heared a deep sound of strong breath along their heads which makes they awake suddenly at middle of the night and their bodies canīt move during a few moments. These people regularly said about the guilty is a ghost which looking for "communication" which is not true, but really is a living gnome the true guilty. But generally is suspected what the most of the times, meanwhile these attacks occur, the human victim donīt remember nothing at all, and so these attacks may occur almost every night at any people (and at the same person) (inclusively at you and / or me) without any memory of these attack in our mental records. REALLY A VERY SERIOUSLY PROBLEM FOR THINKING ABOUT Ą !
-And other question: ŋWhy making this act these gnomes? ŋWhat are which these gnomes obtaining when making these act?
-Thank you in advance for your advice about the protecting methods against these damage attacks of some or too much gnomes (I donīt know if are only a few of them gnomes or if all the gnomes making these things which I said) against the human beens, attacks which are nocturnals regularlyment.
-Some people said about the tobacco smell (dry and / or their fumes) (but these may canīt be true because some gnomes smoke the stubs of droped cigars) and / or the garlic bulb (pendant at a wall) may work within the bed room, but I donīt know what so really certain and practicals may be these two remedies. I principally looking for material remedies in form of efectives deterrent objects against, but I DONīT looking for conjures or invocations like remedies against.
-Bye.
Full Version: -Gnomes Whos Stolen Human Breath?
I think the only appropriate response here is this....
What?
What?
Your looking for a way to defend yourself against 2 foot tall people with pointy hats?
Squish them!
Squish them!
Have you been reading "Artemis Fowl" by any chance?
If not...where on earth did you hear this tall tale?
I think she may be talking about sleep paralysys. 
this reminds me of that stephen king movie O_O
Gnomes are shifty, you can trust them alot shorter than you can throw them- which is pretty far.
I don't have to worry about about gnomes, seeing how I live on the fifteenth floor of a apartment complex, but still those things are creepy, the ones that don't move I mean.
I've never heard of gnomes doing that 
. Are you sure they are gnomes? There are many ways to get rid of faeries, many materials that they find repulsive. Also if they are doing unpleasant things you must be doing something to make them unhappy. There are various offerings you can leave them like honey or cream. Just make sure to put the offerings on something biodegradable. I hear that all faeries are repulsed by iron ore, although I've never tried that out myself.
If you have cats have they been acting strange? Gnomes and cats are natural enemies.
Other than that, what Alara said, it kind of sounds like sleep paralysis. The thing about you saying they have been smoking the cigar butts kind of points in another direction though. Unless you have youngsters around who are sneaking the cigar butts and smoking them (YUCK!).

Youre right, gnomes are wrong. I have a few neighbours who have gnomes on their lawns and it really lets the neighbourhood down. Not only are they ugly but theyre tacky as well and sooooo 1980's. Nobody has gnomes anymore apart from my gran who has them sitting around the edge of her pond and bird bath!! 
I can honestly say i have never seen them stealing my breath, maybe they suck a little in when im out in my grans garden and not paying attention. They look very shifty so il check it out next time i go around. As far as im aware they just sit around the pond with their little rods hanging over the water and not much else. Ill keep my eye on them from now on, thanks for enlightening me!

Have cookies out for them to eat, and set ur alarm every 30 minutes until you catch them. Then kick them out your window like a soccer ball 
Okay....
Sorry, no gnomes around my house I went on a ceramic frenzy and smashed them all with my baseball bat.

Hmm... I can't imagine what these gnomes are trying to do. But I have heard a couple of stories about these "duendes" from Mexico and Central America, and how they like to play tricks on people, and do all sorts of nasty things. To me it sounds like people suffering from sleep paralysis, blaming little people for it. I did try to do some research on them and didn't find much, or any other online stories about these dwarfs/gnomes. I did find the following which sounds like what you are describing:
QUOTE
In personalistic medical systems, bewitching is often thought to be a cause of changed behavior or illness. Bewitching involves the use of magical acts and supernatural powers either by humans or supernatural beings. This may involve sympathetic magic, contagious magic, or simply the casting of a spell. An example of bewitching occurs among the indigenous Nahua Indians of Central Mexico. They believe that a particular kind of supernatural being can cause an illness called aire (literally "air" in Spanish). These beings are "rain dwarfs." They are about 1― feet tall and are thought to be made almost entirely of water. As a result they are essentially invisible. They cause aire by breathing on people. The typical symptoms of this illness may include paralysis, a twisted mouth, palsy, pimples, and aching joints. The first two symptoms are consistent with a stroke. Aire is cured traditionally by a curandero cleansing the victim by rubbing the body with herbs and an unbroken chicken egg.

and Cured Around the World"

Take Care!
I only had to read to the second line then Sleep Paralysis screamed out at me.
Sprinkle salt in a circle around your bed and burn sage incense.
Then burn all your underwear and tie a sock around your door handle.
Works every time.

Oh those pervy little gnomes
My friend has a phobia of garden gnomes because she heard a story much like this.
I have a garden gnome tale and it is true to boot!
When my husband and I were engaged, I moved across the ocean to live with him. Here I was in a strange country with a different culture and different traditions.
My husband went to the city hall to book our marriage ceremony. When he came back he said to me "Guess what? Our ceremony is going to be the first one at the city hall where they will be allowed to play music!"
I said "That is great!"
Next he said "Yes, and they asked me if it would be okay for the newspaper photographers to be there. They'll be taking photos. I said it was fine."
Needless to say my jaw started to drop.
Then he continued on..."They will take photos of the traditional dance that you will have to do with my father. And then you will have to dance with the city hall guy who is performing our ceremony."
Me, being gullible, thought this was all true and I was standing there with a look on my face like this:
Until, of course, my husband burst out laughing! He still teases me to this day about how he tricked me.
There was no photographers and I didn't have to dance with some strange old guy (the city hall guy, not my husband's father! LOL)
Anyways onto the gnome part...I had to get my husband back right?
A few days later while in the garden center with my husband, I picked up one of those cheerful garden gnome statues.
My husband said "Why do you want to buy THAT thing?"
I said "What do you mean? It is for our wedding night!" He had this completely puzzled look on his face.
I said "You have never heard of the American wedding tradition with the garden gnome?" He shook his head.
I continued with "Well, on our wedding night we have to bring this gnome with us to bed. He gets to sleep in the middle, between us. In the morning, we will cut off his head and bury it. It is for good luck and will ensure us a happy marriage."
Then it was my husband's turn to look like this:
And I burst out laughing!
Surprisingly we are still happily married to this day and no, we never did bring that creepy garden gnome home

Jerkinfalcon...... are you high
I sense someone has been watching the movie Cats eyes a little too much.
That movie has a small gnome creature that attempts to steal the breath of a small girl but a cat saves her by knocking it into a fan slicing it up.

-Many thanks to all you for your reply, both serious reply and joke reply. Sorry for my delay for reply.
-Lorelei : thanks, the true story you told is magical and great, many thanks for compart it with us.
-Lottie : thanks, not already but I hope reading it soon.
-chaoszerg : thanks, I was watched these movie already and the gnome story appear be based on real facts, and may not be a fantasy story at all, although is presented like a fiction film. But I donīt said as the other two stories of these movie may be fact, but whos knows??
-Nyx : thanks, here in my country the dang to the gnomes for deterrent it, but the gnomes donīt stopped their hard jokes on the people within their own homes. Maybe the local knomes are more persistent.
-Alara & Anvil : thanks, just like the sleep paralysis, but with the add of the strange alien small but strong breathing along the head of the person whos already sleping.
-Opus Magnus : thanks, I will recommended the iron ore to the peple here in my country like a trial. A few people in mexico (personal communication) within tropical lands report the seeing of gnomes smoking cigars or cigar rests (included an uncle whos saw one gnome -at a very short distance- which smoked at same time two or three cigar rest and throw on my uncle two of these cigar rest). May be interesting indaguing about if the same people with probles of gnomes have or not cats at same time for checking stadistics, so the cats may be very useful.
-Violet Blue : thanks, also the gnomes are called here in mexico like "chaneques" "aluxes" "duendes" "espiritus chocarreros" "enanos" "niņos" and so on. Thank you for the history and the link, before already I donīt heared these story you add, but fit here perfectly and do give elements which help to confirm the situation. Here many many people refuse to talk about their own real experiences with these beings by the affraid of be named "insane people", but here in mexico the encounters of people with the gnomes are very more common than like appear to be.

reminds me a bit of a torchwood episode.
There was a movie like this a gnome kept trying to steel a baby's life force and the family cat would keep trying to protect it and the cat would get blamed for the things the gnome was doing. I believe in the end the cat was blamed for the baby's hospitalization and was thrown out or killed im not sure.

But metrognomes know how to use elevators so they can still get to you.
BEWARE!!
I am so sorry for not knowing ahead of time. Your problem is not gnomes, but worse. If you would like to send me an e-mail I can tell you what to do... if you are still okay or want to know.
next you'll be telling us about the pixies who lick human footprints.

You suffer from sleep paralysis, there's numerous threads about this on the board.
But you make me laugh, so thank you.

Have you considered that this could be explained as a manifestation of sleep paralysis?
