Anyways my story. I'm a fairly superstitious person myself. Someone who heavily believes in God and I like to pray/give thanks as much as I can in any format.

Well a while back I hadn't offered up so much as a prayer for the longest time. For about a 3-4 months atleast.

One night I woke up out of the blue and saw this long shadow hovering over me. It had a body from what I can remember but I couldn't make out any distinguishing features at all. After the split second of extremely heavy and serious fear I jumped out of my bed at it. Hit the edge of my table with the side of my head straight through where it formerly was.

Strangest part was that even though my eye was nowhere close to anything else it had somehow got cut too and was bleeding. Scared the ever living shit out of me as there was no way my eye had even touched anything.

For the next week I couldn't even sleep properly. I had this extremely horrible case of shivering when I was in bed for no apparent reason(and remember I live in a hot and humid city) coupled with this immediate presence I felt in my room that was heavy and almost smothering me. It got so bad that I just begged God in prayer to make it stop after the 7th day of it.

The next night it was perfectly fine and back to normal. I'm fairly certain a demon or something had either inhabited my room or possessed me to some degree. It was an extremely strange event.

Texted YoungBlade about that first night when that first event happened as we've had quite a few conversations about the supernatural so he can confirm. It was something extremely out of the ordinary and only reconfirms my superstitious nature.

Great thread contributions so far (albeit, not the direction the OP was hoping for).

Keep them coming.

Some of mine:
- dwarf sized shadow man
- pants waving around like there is strong wind (pants are bent over my computer chair when I go to sleep)
- huge snake that was in my bed and crawled out and went behind the closet
- decaying corpse on computer table, in one instance just a decapitated head

What all these have in common is the following. While they may sound weird or scary when you read this post, they were not scary at all to me. They all happened when I suddenly woke up in the night or dawn. I discussed this matter with several people and while we all have our take on this, our thinking has mutual points. Here is my take on it.

As I said before dreams are experiences of the Astral realm. When you enter REM phase of the sleep, your awareness shifts from the physical reality to the Astral body which inhabits Astral realm which has then journeys (in lucid case, they are controlled journeys). When you suddenly wake up like me or Comte in the post above, this awareness suddenly shifts back to the physical body and that causes momentarily "overlap" of Astral and physical reality.
Its like you are watching Astral but with your physical eyes. That is when you see weird stuff like I or others mentioned. Castaneda talks about this too, but in his case, he actually practiced this overlapping.
Why is it not scary? Because when you dream, whatever shit you see doesn't make you frightened. You are frightened here, in physical reality. As you are still overlapping in the above mentioned moment, you have "properties" of the Astral body which lack feeling fear.

Windom Earle will probably recognize dream = separate reality correlation from the Twin Peaks. That is exactly what happens to the main character in the series when he has lucid dream and meets Astral beings. I recommend watching the series to those who never have if you want to have one insight into this whole matter.
