The Force is Strong With This One
I have just finished reading the post about 'Sue and Bob' and in the C's chat that followed there was mention of certain brain disorders that make you see things differently (telescope-vision-style, things looking closer and further away than they are)
I have something that is different...but could be a chemical or brain disorder...?
Sometimes I wake up at night time and I feel (I am sure I am) fully awake. There will be a big shape floating above my bed or next to my bed and sometimes I force myself to just lie there and watch it for a while, while my brain tells me its not there and my eyes are 100% sure they are seeing it - and eventually I will just reach out and touch it to try and rationalize...at which point it isn't there anymore. It always stays untill I try and touch it.
This has happened to me so many times I can't count and in the beginning I thought it was a "left over dream" but as it happened more and more I started paying attention when it did happen and I feel completely awake.
It started when I was really little and there was a shape sitting in a chair next to my bed. (still not sure what that was and it has always been something I would like to understand)
It is not a scary experience, sometimes I get a fright, but I don't feel fear.
I have done some online research, but nothing has really given me any answers. What is it? Is there something there? Or am I just seeing things? If I am...then why / what is causing it?
Thanks!
