I swear this is true, early this morning I woke up because something was touching my hand.

[texanwitch]

I first I thought it was one of the pets but they were all sleeping.

It didn't feel really scary, just weird.

Maybe I getting a vistor, it is Samhain.

I swear something was touching my hand.

1. Lucid Dreaming?

I have those all the time, plus once I woke up in someone's else's body..that freaked me out. I have some weird OOBE too..

[texanwitch]

2. It was creepy.

Sound asleep and wake in a start.

I sometimes have those jerk dreams, when you wake in with a jerk.

I hate those.

19. Yikes, I once woke up with a strange body, yet don't remember it being there when I went to bed

Go figure that one!!

3. It was the universe showing you a little love.

4. On the subject of Out Of Body experiences

I had a lady friend who said she'd been having them voluntarily and involuntarily since early childhood. She described being able to walk through her house while lying in bed and visualizing everything as though she were really seeing it.

One time when I had just bought a new house I asked her on the phone for fun to teleport herself to its interior and describe it. She had never been inside and I had never described it to her. The next day she described the interior completely, mentioning it was single story, with a sloping ceiling in the kitchen/dining room, with a long breakfast counter and family room with a fireplace. She described the number of bedrooms and their locations as well as the location of the master bedroom adjacent to the front door. I usually don't go in for the woo-woo pseudo science stuff but she really blew my mind.

5. I know someone who claims she has out body type dreams.

I don't know if it is true or not.

She claims the jerk is coming back into the body.

I don't know what to think.

6. A couple of times

I have heard knocks on my bedroom door, gotten up to check what my roommate wanted, but there was nobody there.

7. pretty neat stuff, those lucid dreams

a long time ago I read the Carlos Castaneda trilogy (fiction, I know) where looking at your hands while
you are in your dream allows you to actively participate in the dream. You might want to try it.

[RedCloud]

8. What did it feel like?

Slimy?
Cold?
Your other hand?
Details!

[texanwitch]

11. Just regular warm touching.

It did seem so real.

Who knows.

10. After my cat passed, I often had such visits

I swear, I would feel her jump up on the bed and lay on the corner, just like she did when she was alive.

It stopped after a little while. But I knew what it was.

[RebelOne]

18. After I had to send my Rottweiler to doggie heaven because she had incurable cancer,

many times I would feel a nudging on my leg while I was on the computer. She would often do that when she wanted attention because she hated the computer. Or maybe she just wanted to let me know she was still around. I have her ashes, so I have a part of her.

[Taverner]

12. It was Neil Gaiman's Sandman

[yawnmaster]

13. Probably large bed spiders. Have you looked under your bed to see if there is a nest of them? eom

[argiel1234]

14. probably was paul ryan

[texanwitch]

15. That is scary.

[HipChick]

16. Or Mitt..

[texanwitch]

17. Mitt and Ryan are scary.

I wouldn't touch Mitt with a 1000 ft. pole.

[Glimmer of Hope]

20. Did you do something nice the day before? It was probably just an angel.

21. Hypnogogic hallucination, nothing supernatural.

Sometimes I'll be starting to fall asleep and I'll jerk back awake because I think I hear my phone going off, very annoying!
