Visitors while sleeping? Or nightmares?

So for at least 25 years I have been plagued with nightmares that "someone" different people, sometimes animals are standing at the side of my bed staring at me.

I "awake" see them and end up screaming so loud I wake the dogs and one time even cause my husband to wake up screening as a result. He actually too ended up staring in the direction the man in the plaid shirt had been.

Anyways for a time I lost belief in anything supernatural. Ie life after death anything. It was to painful to have hope. The nightmares/stopped completely. I thought I was fixed.

Anyways the very day I accepted again there was something Devine out their even if I could not make a label fit, and said a silent prayer I started having nightmare visitors again.

Since then they thankfully haven't been people but little things I can't identify. I still end up awaking and screaming in fear a little but nothing like it was before. I seem to know they can't get me because they are small and on the floor and less unnerving.

Curious if anyone else had experienced this. Are these just nightmares? Not one has ever done anything but stand and stare except the first one when I was young the lady said she was my mother and put her hand on my forehead. One last year ran when I screamed but other than that they just watch.

You guys seem to be more open to this stuff so I though I would get opinions. Are these just dreams?

I maybe should add that between the ages of 3/4 I remember seeing see through forms of people in the house. They didn't interact they were just there and I never even mentioned it to anyone as I guessi didn't know enough to think they shouldn't be there.

Do you see spirits or ghosts? It sounds like you do and have been all of your life. It's a psychic ability. Don't be afraid of it. Educate yourself about it and how to control it. Some of the people visiting you sound like they knew you in past lives. Maybe they are watching over you and protecting you.
 
I can see how that could be unnerving!


Good answer argonne and I agree with all you say. I will just add a few more words. There are others on the forum who are more experienced with this kind of thing than me and will no doubt be able to give you good guidance. However, the first thing I would do would be to create a personal 'safety zone' in your home. How to do this? It's as simple as using your 'imagination'.


Lie down in bed, or sit up in a chair, doesn't really matter. Relax. Clear your mind. Breathe. Let yourself settle.


Then use your imagination to bathe your house in white light. Fill it all up, paying special attention to your bedroom, dark corners, windows, doors, under the stairs, everywhere. Say to yourself that only good energy is permitted in your home and anything with any bad intention must leave now and not come back.


I don't know why, but somehow this just works.


So, having done that and created a safe space, if any entities turn up in the future, ask them what they want. They will be trying to tell you something most likely. Try not to be scared of them if you can. Just listen to whatever it is they are trying to communicate to you. If they do anything you're not happy about, zap them with white light (in your mind's eye) and tell them to leave. It really is that simple.
 
Yes, protect yourself with white light. You can talk to the entities or spirits in your head. Ask them if they need help. Did they know you in a past life? Do they know they are dead? Don't laugh, many of them do not! Their answers will be thoughts that suddenly pop into your head. You can try telling them they should go towards the light. Some are afraid to go to the light because they have been brainwashed about going to Hell, being judged, etc. There is no such place as Hell.
 
I really appreciate you guys replying without assuming I'm nuts. :)


I don't know if I see ghosts. Well To be 100% accurate the first one when I was 11 that said she was my mother. I always believed that was a ghost because I was awake, and I heard stuff in that house, footsteps across the walls. A satanic bible was burned in that house. I don't even know what that is but apparently as it burned there were sounds of dogs howeling. I wasn't there so I can't say that is 100% true. The house creaped me out but the women obviously meant me no harm even though at the time I didn't like that she lied to me. lol


Maybe she was my mother in a past life. I sure got a crappy one in this life so I wouldn't be surprised if a previous one tried to help.


I saw her standing in my doorway and she slowly walked in. I wasn't afraid at first just confused because no one with chin length hair lived in the house and she was kind of a greenish shadow. I said "mom?" As a question already knowing it wasn't her but kind of hoping it was, even though my mom was working nights that night so not even home.


She walked to my bedside while saying "yes" put her hand on my forehead told me "it would be ok".... Then I must have fallen asleep. I do remember thinking " she's not my mom" but I wasn't worried for some reason.lol


During the 3/4yr stage I remember seeing the people but they were like fuzzy clearish shapes and the would always fade away with enough time. At first I thought it was my dad.


He had just moved out and I would come around a corner and see one get excited thinking it was him but it never was. once I knew it wasn't him I never really care enough to get a good look or interact. Maybe they would have if I had tried. I ended up rationalizing in my toddler mind that they were just memories. Made sense at the time.


These ones by the bed. I never know what to think. I don't have any other nightmare that causes me to screem like that. The people are never menacing they just make me feel very vulnerable as I am waking up. It's always the same I start to wake up knowing I'm being watched see them, start screaming till my husband wakes up and assures me I'm safe.


Only the one ever ran, the plaid shirt guy and before he ran I screamed so loud I actually scared my husband to the point he woke up screaming and he looked exactly where the guy had been which scared me even more so I screamed again lol my husband didn't see him but though it was odd he was compelled to in the dark stare where the man had been.


I'm really not a wimp I just find it creapy to awake with people watching you. Anyways these new things are the size of mice I still scream a touch but can fall quickly back to sleep not worried. They aren't shapes either they are light and sound. My first thought is they are trying to decensitize me, so I stop screaming the instant I see the people.


Then I wonder if it's all just a dream. :) I will practice the white light thing. I don't like waking up screaming because of the people. I end up tired the next day cause I have trouble falling asleep again.


The past life mom thing is kind of intriguing because I have a very clear memory of wiping out on concrete at church when I was 2. There were people everywhere and my mother quickly picked me up but I kept crying "I want my mommy" inconsolably I remember thinking very clearly and a bit emberessed for the mother holding me that she was not the Mommy I was crying for.
 
Good work. No, you're not crazy. This kind of thing happens more often than you might think, but people just don't talk about it. That's all!


Just for fun, have you seen this movie? It might help you see the lighter side of this predicament.

 
Two other good movies are "Ghost" with Whoopi Goldberg and of course "Sixth Sense". Almost all psychic mediums say they see "dead people" when they go to bed. They also say it started when they were kids. One theory is that it's easier for them to communicate with you when you are in a sleep state.
 
Hi, TheGlow!


Good advices have been given to you already, but let me add a bit more. Yes, it seems you have the ability to see things that are in the astral. Only yesterday someone in my forum said it was starting to happen to her too. Don't be afraid and yes, protect yourself with any method you feel comfortable.


The only thing you have to know is that there are many other "entities" in the astral, apart from dead people (and also astral bodies of alive people, usually asleep). Our own thoughts can take shape, anything people imagine can exist in the astral and it seems they are alive, but they are not. Our mind is also extremely powerful and unconsciously it can create other forms, for example, anything you are afraid of, it might appear too. Any subconscious desire you have, things like that. All these things can interact with you in an intelligent way, but that doesn't mean they are "conscious and individual entities", beings with a soul just like you or any of us. You always have to question what you see, and never let them deceive you.


Personally I would doubt they are relatives, and least of all I'd think they have anything to do with your past lives. I tend to tell people they have to separate past lives from anything related to the astral, and the reason is just because we don't undertand this kind of phenomena yet and we don't control our own minds, we all want to believe in past life stuff and souls of the deceased visiting us, and that makes us vulnerable. So, like I said, never be afraid, and always question everything. Entities in the astral are just like normal people. They can have bad or good intentions, though they can never do you any harm.
 
I very rarely see entities when falling asleep (may be because good sleep is so precious) but they sure are there when I wake up.


I've actually feel the entity (or entities) in my room when I'm first waking up, and at the risk of sounding crazy, sometimes I'm still carrying on a conversation with them when I wake up.


A friend told me that I moved in the bed and started "Mumbling" something, then it became clearer and it was as if I was carrying on a conversation with someone else in the room, she said.


I'm sure I'm having a conversation with those already departed on the "Other Side" and hope one day to once again pick up the conversation.


This "Talent" of Astral Travel has for the most part been a welcome gift, but a few times, it has been a burden.

Eowyn knows a lot more about this than I do, and a lot of her suggestions have been a huge help to me, since I tend to interact with the subconscious through directed heart meditation and waking/sleeping/lucid dreams.


I want to confirm a couple things from my own experience.


1. The inner shield of light is stronger than a light throughout the home, though both do work. I think this is based on the fact that we are the space where the light comes through, so where we focus, that is where the light may reveal or exclude darkness like a shield. We have free will, and we get to choose.


2. Fear actually seems to make a gap in our defenses because we have already internalized a bad thing might enter and interact with or harm us, if that makes sense? The less fear I have, the less danger I encounter, and even spiritual shadows that would once have made me very fearful can be turned away or even transformed (they become tamed or exposed as something other than I initially imagined, and unable to harm me) if I face them with courage and love. Not "in love" but compassionate desire to affect all things in a healing and good way.


3. Instead of using just the idea of "light" which might feel too intangible, you can ask your higher self/guardian to help maintain your shield. You can visualize them like a warrior or whatever makes you feel safest. Mine chose their own appearance out of my subconscious and have a rather mythical, glowing aspect to them, but whenever I'm afraid, I just "lean back" and they are right there to remind me that they will actively keep me safe. Then nothing can touch my inner self in a destructive way, and I can push through even a nightmare safely, and without fear.


I have a lot to do today or I'd say more, but maybe this will be helpful.

I think that's a great point, Mere Dreamer. Unfortunately I don't have direct experiences with this (the entities I've talked to while in the astral seemed to be just "normal souls", like someone you talk to in the street). But they say in the astral you attract beings that vibrate in the same frequency than you, so I guess that's the explanation. If you are fearful or depressed, you'll encounter entities with this low vibration. Thinking of someone you love and trying to reflect this love around you is enough to "dispel" dark entities.
 
Ghost town is on this weekends list. :)


Eowyn


I'm okay with sleeping people but why would they be beside my bed in their sleep?


The people never look dead, so sleeping could make sense but why would they be near me. Thinking of then only one l got to look in the face it was a big black wolf and it was face to face with me and I know he wasn't asleep. lol he wasn't growling or angry but staring at me right beside my head at eye level.


I screamed SOOO loud just from shock then it was gone.


I can't imagine these ones are my projections because I am very animated. If I was projecting them I would think they actually would do something. Make me feel something valid other then surprise. I can't be quiet for 2 minutes so they don't seem "of me". I will maybe have to ask further questions on this.


I have for years maybe since I was 16 felt a warm almost hot pressure of white light build inside me and have many times projected that energy in my thoughts to where others I care about are. I used to think it was the love of god because I was a Christian and it made me feel peaceful and happy so would imagine it covering certain areas till it would eventually cover the globe. I haven't done that much over the last decade mostly I just try to fill other peoples bodies that I am worrying about. Or imagine myself comforting them as a invisible figure near them.


Is this something too. A lady my mother told about it said it meant I could be a healer but I never saw evidence of that lol


Anyways should this white light work?


I can actually get very hot when I let it build so it is energy of some sort.


Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Ok you describe it well. Except I don't seem to talk to them out loud anyways. I am pretty telepathic with animals. Not like a communicator who gets answers but I feel things and we seem to communicate subconsciously. I work with big horses(blacksmith) and the only reason my 125lb frame can get the job done is because I can read them and they seem to read me so work with me instead of against me 99% of the time. Maybe I am talking telepathically in my sleep state.


I was also wondering if they were maybe a few spirit guides because I spoke to a phycic and she told me my guides appeared to her in very old clothes like they haven't had a break in a while because we are always in communication. They said I am always talking to them and they are always on the job. Maybe I am demanding a lot of their attention when I sleep because I sure as heck rarely feel I hear anything from "that little voice" during my waking hours.
 
I really like all this and will implement this tonight. Thank you so much! Funny I almost did post this question. I am very glad I did. Maybe a spirit guide reassured me I should. Lol

It is the 'love of God' (however you conceive her). The white light is the energy of the universe. It doesn't matter what you call it really, as long as you find an image that works powerfully for you. It sounds like you have a bit of a gift for it. Everyone has this 'white light' in them, but some just don't realise what to do with it or how to use it. Another thing our 'culture' has suppressed in the name of scientific advancement or something I suppose?

Kind of neat. It started for me when I knew nothing of alternative stuff, or had heard of white light. I was laying in bed one night and I felt my chest get very warm and the peace and feeling of love was so strong I though it was gods love cause surely nothing else could effect a sad and lonely teen so quickly and profoundly.


The lady my mother spoke to said it was for "laying on of hands healing" but it never compelled me to do that. I just liked to expand it and put it where I felt it was needed. :)


Thanks for teaching me what it really is, and that I wasn't to far off in how to use it.

It sounds like you are an "animal whisperer" or animal intuitive and also have the ability to do psychic healing. Do you know anything about Reiki? You may want to look into that.
 
Eowyn and TheGlow (and other's)


I usually don't "Pigeon Hole" or put a lot of labels on things, I just go along with the flow and see where it goes.


To "TheGlow" - I've always been real good with animals and they seem attracted to me, I don't know if it is telepathy or perhaps the soothing colors in my Aura (I'm a big fan of the Aura).


As for OOBE's or projecting, you are right, Eowyn, I don't seem to attract "Bad Things" perhaps this is where "Nightmares" come from, encountering bad things while OOBE projecting???


Eowyn (or anyone else) have you ever woke up from a dream so peaceful that it felt like you had traveled to the "Other Side" and you tried really hard to go back to sleep and return there, but could not, just wondering!!! :)

Well, OBE's are always different, and it's a very subjective experience and hard to explain, but yes, after all the reading I've done and my own experiences, I definitely think you attract bad things if you are feeling bad, and you create your own reality, most of the times unconsciously, if you don't have enough control.


People who encounter all type of "dark entities", usually it's because they strongly believe in them. This also would explain the visions of many people during NDE's. Then there can be real dark entities, but I think these are rare. In AP literature one of the most important tips is that you have to be in control of your emotions and never, never, have bad intentions, as you attract "beings" with the same vibration. The author of the latest book I was reading always moved in the closest plane to the physical world, and he only mentions a "demon" once. Real people I know who are learning to astral project have never seen entities, and I can only speak of a lucid dream in an old flat where these "lost souls" started to come to me and I told them all to go on to the light. Especially one of them looked very sad and depressed, he had a little girl with him and he told me he was looking for his daughter, but something bad had happened between them and was afraid of how she would react. The others were just like "normal people" you talk to in the street. And in my AP's I also talk to many people, but they are never threatening.


Nightmares seem to happen when there is something disturbing you, so yes, I have no doubt some of these could be from "bad things" taking shape in the astral.

Well, if you mean the "other side" as the spiritual world, I don't think I've ever been there while sleeping. But every time I have a experience in the astral I certainly come back awed and feeling good, usually very relaxed and happy, as it feels so great to feel free of physical boundaries and be "somewhere else" (I'd love to say to travel wherever I go, but that hasn't happened yet!). Then it's frustrating when you have to wait for the next time, as it rarely happens when you want to.
 
Thank You Eowyn


Thank You Eowyn for your expertise, your contributions are quite valuable to this Forum.


I too never know when an OOBE will occur that I can remember with clarity, by chance (in my case) it occurred because I was thinking of that person and perhaps I was worried about them.


Perhaps "Desire" is a strong motivator to a OOBE that is remembered when waking, or it may just seem to happen for no reason that we know of, but in fact there might be a good reason, it's just we don't know the reason yet. :)

According to Muldoon, desire is one of the four main factors behind the behaviour of our astral bodies (conscious or unconsciously):


1. Dreams.


2. Desires (to possess or do something, not a necessity).


3. Bodily desires (necessities).


4. Habits.


These factors contribute to the activation of our subconscious will, the one that ultimately drives our astral body.


This would explain the reason why many persons, after their deaths, remain attached to a place or a person and become ghosts: it can be just the desire to see their sons, for example. And habits are very important too. That's why when you are in the astral it's more likely you will go to places you know well or it will work better if you try to do something you usually do in your normal life, like going to the bathroom.
 
So I thought I would post a quick update.


After I started this thread the first night I forgot to do the white light thing and had the little light/sound life form on my floor that night.


I actually realized I could see an unusual light on the wall coming in through the window at the same time that I could see and hear the small thing on the floor.


When I screamed a little(harmless little thing so only a small fright) the " spirit " view faded but totally awake the light pattern on the wall from the window was still the same. The light was just less bright otherwise still the same.


That pattern was unusual due to a funny bunching of my blind so nothing that I'd seen before. Not sure that makes sense rereading it but point being I know it wasn't a dream because I was seeing something that was still there after I fully was alert.


Anyways after that night I did the white light thing and do it when ever I try to douse. I haven't had any visitors since.


I know that could be


-the white light is keeping them out(but they never seemed really evil just creapy so not sure why that would be unless they were dark things


- they were a projection of my fear so feeling safe they are not created


- they see holidays cause me enough stress and figure I need to be treated more carefully right now


Or - maybe they are with others who need them, know them, need comfort right now.


Jury is out but thought it was interesting all the same.


I will keep you guys updated and thank you for you guidance and care.

I`m working with an audio learning course by William Buhlman about OOBEs. Buhlman says the repeated sighting of strange creatures can indeed be a manifestation of your inner anxieties. He recommends to try to stay calm and to risk a face-to-face encounter with these beings. This could lead to an incredible spiritual experience and the dissolving of your most limiting fears.

Dammit gotta get that startle response under control. :)


Very good to hear though.
 
Good to hear. Maybe, try one night surrounding yourself in 'white light' and just asking one, small one to show itself and ask it what it wants? Try not to freak out, although I know it's hard!
 
They could be spirits, but another answer you should look into is hypnagogic hallucinations. This is a medical condition (no you are not crazy) that is considered a sleep disorder. It is a malfunction in REM sleep that causes vivid hallucinations while falling asleep or waking. Sometimes this is also accompanied by sleep paralysis.


During a period of extreme stress for about a year I got these often and would wake up screaming in the night and would wake my SO and I would see things like spiders and weird neon shapes. People who have this condition often report seeing people standing near their bed or talking to them and they look as real as life.


Talk to your doctor who would probably refer you to a sleep specialist who can help diagnose you if it is a sleep condition. The condition does not have to be treated with medication, just better sleep hygiene and improvements made to sleep by adjustments in daily life can help get rid of it. They can also do sleep studies to determine if you are having poor sleep.
