A night visitor

That is scary. No I have never experienced being disturbed 'physcially' in my sleep except for nightmarish dream that often send shivers down my spine when I come out of my sleep from the impact of the dream. I guess it might be some good spirits visiting you.

That's really scary savy. And I don't want to experience anything that is related to what we call "ghost moments". LOL. But I did woke up last night because I was so scared. I woke up with my heart palpitating so fast and I felt like a thousand needles have pricked me. I was really scared that I was catching up my breath. I don't know if it's a chest pain or what but it did scare me because we have a history of heart illness as well as high blood on my father's side. Please take care. And yes, I have to agree with one post here - you might want to have a cat around. They're good when it comes to mouse/rat chasing. They are good guardians.

Hi savypat, That is a very interesting experience but I can't say that anything like that has happened to me. The closest that I've come is having someone awake me in the mornings when I'm alone in the house. I've never seen anyone, just had a voice call my name and tell me it was time for me to get up. It doesn't scare me, in fact the last time, I didn't feel like getting up at the time and went back to sleep for another hour. It's probably happened about a half dozen times, maybe a few more, I'm not quiet sure. Have you had a cat in the past that was very special to do you? Blessings.

Hi savypat...I was going to suggest a bit of literature for you that might peak your interest. The name of the book is Flying without a Broom. I picked it up a few months ago and read it from time to time out of curiousity. I had a sleep study done once and yes...have had a few odd experiences throughout the years. Not any cat skeletons though. As long as your not scared or uncomfortable..that's the important thing. Take care.

You probably had scissor lock. During this phase of sleep you feel awake and are aware of your surrounding but you cannot move. It is a scary feeling and often people see ghosts during that phase for some reason. I've had this phase happen to me before but there were not ghosts. This morning, when I woke up the blinds were moving and my cat got curious.. the windows were closed and nothing else was moving... I'm hoping there's a scientific explanation to this or else... I don't think I can sleep tonight!

I looked it up a bit - I believe you had a form of sleep paralysis - I did have one some time ago and it was cats I dreamt of too. :) Ages ago people used to believe gargoyles visited them at night when this happened. :)

Years ago I regularly dreamed or heard in my sleep a telephone ringing. Not one of these digital phones, but a real, old fashioned phone. It was so real, and I would wake up, but it was not a phone in my house. This happened several times. I also used to, and still do, smell phantom smells a lot. I have not figured it out where the non existent smells come from. I have lived in this house for over twenty five years, so it is not something that would still be lingering from someone else. Why do you say it was the form of a cat's skeleton? I know our minds have lots of things locked away that we are not conscious of, I figure, most of the time, that it is my mind remembering a smell. I finally figured out about the telephone, as well. It actually came from a television show I had seen, but it happened several times.

No, I’ve never had any such experience till now and I was hoping that somebody here would say that you actually had a paranormal experience. I’m always on the lookout for people who’ve had such experiences LOL… but I think in your case GardenGerty comes nearest to a plausible explanation…we never really know the depths of our mind and what goes on there and what it stores. See if you ‘see’ that cat again…

Things watching me from the foot of the bed. No cat skeletons!

That sounds quite scary Pat! I’ve never experienced anything like that although I have had dream about my cats but was different! I had the feeling that someone was sitting on my bed; it was a regular occurrence when I lived in a particular house and it stopped when my environment changed fortunately. My sister experienced a pressure on her chest once and was unable to move in her bed for several minutes which frightened her quite a bit!

if you do not want struck by a rat, then you should guard cat, because cats will cause the mouse afraid. When I was little I actually often sleep When I was little I actually often sleep together with cats, because cat fur could actually make my body gets warm and I was sleeping soundly. But for the woman slept with a cat is a ban, because it can cause infertility.

as for me there are instances that when Im sleeping I feel like Im falling off a cliff then I suddenly wake up.. very weird O_O
