Knocking
I am at work, all the lights are out. I am standing in front of the paint desk when I start to feel faint and I fall first to my knees, then back on my heels. I tell someone that I do not feel well, and all they can say is "Yeah, your face looks strange." Then they move away without any further concern. I knock on the door of Red's duplex, I have never been to such a place. He opens the door and I sway, again feeling faint. I ask if I can come in and he allows it, I said I did not want to drive back home like this and ask if I can sleep here. He says it is fine if I do not mind sharing the bed. We stand in the living room, behind him is the bedroom. I have such trouble keeping my eyes open, and when I do manage it, I cannot lift my eyes to his face. Only so far as his chest. My breath becomes uneven and sadness creeps over me, swaying on my feet. I want him to comfort me, I feel so strange, and know that if he just let me lean on him I would feel much better. He leaves the room and I black out. I awake in bed with his puppy laying on my chest. He leaves the room, and sleep paralysis settles over me in the dream (is it weird to have a dream that you are having sleep paralysis?) The puppy and I are not alone, though. Something grips my hands beneath the covers and I cannot quite withdraw them. This happens three or four more times, one time the puppy growls at the spirit hiding under the covers and gripping my hands. The ghost huddles close to me, delighting in my immobility. I manage to break my paralysis, but when I try to tell Red about it, he says it is not possible. I say that the puppy was growling and he counters that she never does that without reason. I try to rile the spirit and make the puppy growl again so that he might believe me. Something about being on a camping trip and zipping up the tiny personal tent around me. o.O
This happened about 13 years ago, but I remember it like yesterday. I used to knock on my younger brother's window at night to scare him, it had been a long running joke between us. I climbe…

Been a long time since I wrote here... typing is so much easier than writing it all down in detail with pencil. I was lying down on my bed in my room and got up and walked to my TV to take a…

#290 - DILD - 7:18AM After a long bout of insomnia I finally get lucid again. I totally was not myself in this one. The first thing I recall is sitting in the back seat of a car. There are t…

Saturday, May 7, 2011* I am in a room I do not recognize. It is not too big and quite dark. The only light comes from the drape covered windows. My brother <PERSON> is with me and a few othe…

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
