Force:
The scariest dream I've had in recent memory...
Hrm.
I always have freaky dreams when I eat spicy foods before bed or have a lot of caffeine. Anyways, one night, I had this dream 3 times before I finally fell asleep for good. It kept happeneing in that space between sleeping and being awake, and the dream was me laying in my bed in the dark, just like I really was, but I felt somer presence flaoting just above my body, and it kept chanting a word (might have been my name, can't remember now) and the longer it chnated, the harder it got for me to breathe until finally my airway was cut off altogether. Then I would wake up and I would be gasping for breath. This happened 3 times in a row, except the final time I saw the eyes of whatever was floating above me right before I woke up.
And something else happened last week that really scared the shit out of me. Something startled me out of my sleep in the middle of the night, and I look into my open doorway, and I see the sillouette of like a 8-10 year old child standing there, and then it walkeds off down the hallway. I think I slept with the lights/tv on for the rest of the week wink

Dude, we should talk... I've had similar things happen to me... though I didn't want to write about them here... But, how about this one:
I was in Phoenix for Thanksgiving weekend. My brother was sick in LA, and I almost canceled my trip, but he said he was fine and he would talk to me after Thanksgiving.
Anyway, the first night I woke up in a cold sweat. Someone had whispered something to me, in my ear, it was loud... but I didn't quite understand it. I lay awake, blind (I can't see at all without glasses/contacts, and I didn't bring my glasses with me on the trip... Contacts were in the bathroom). So there I was blind, and a bit spooked... what was that... Was it someone playing a trick on me, I looked around, didn't see anything out of the ordinary, squinted... then laid back down to sleep.
5mins later "Death" I was up again, I heard it that time, it was loud. Someone just said Death in my ear! I was now having a panic attack. I couldn't see, I felt trapped in Phoenix (I hadn't driven, and my friend was in another part of the house with the car keys)... and something was saying death in my ear. I was wide awake, atleast I thought I was, and I heard it again. I flicked on all the lights and it was silent... very very silent. I turned on the TV, and loud, almost hoping it would drown out the silence, but I was too well aware of it.
At this point I was sure my father had passed away. I didn't know why, but I thought my father was dead, and I wanted to call home, but it was 3 in the morning and it would do no good to call now... I reluctantly went back to sleep, but I didn't sleep at all. I had the TV on and just nervously watched the blurred image from across the room (my eyesite is so bad, the TV was merely
a sea of changing lights and comforting voices).
Well, finally morning came and all seemed normal. I called home, everyone was alright... and I figured I had a panic attack from just being away from home, not able to see, bad dream, etc.
We go back to LA on Sunday... I go to bed, I don't think about it again... happy to be home. The next night I get a call from the Police, my brother was found dead in his apartment... he passed away sometime Saturday evening... He had vomited in his sleep (due to his illness) and choked...
I was convinced I was being warned that night in Phoenix... maybe I don't know... Maybe my fear for my brothers well being was on my mind and wouldn't allow me to get to sleep... but... I thought he was going to be fine, no one thought he was sick enough to die! I would have never gone if I thought he was that sick! Just a strange thing to have happen... and not the first time either.
This one, I'll keep shorter. I was in my apartment in Tampa Fl. One night I woke to watch a shadowy figure fly over my head. I was sure it was the Grim Reaper, I can't tell you why, it just seemed like it to me. It was all black and was carrying something... not a sickle, but it looked ominous. I wasn't frightened persay, but a bit freaked none the less. It flew over my head into the wall behind me as I lay in bed. Our eyes, or atleast faces met as it passed.
I was woke again severly hours later to flashing lights dancing around my apartment. An ambulance and a police car were outside. I threw some clothes on and went out to see what was up. The ederly gentlemen that lived next door to me had triggered his life alert... He died before the ambulance had gotten there. Heart attack.
Still to this day, I wonder if I heard him calling for help. I don't recall it, but, did I create the death portent... was it triggered by some subconcious link?
I still wonder. I've had so many things like this happen to me... which is always hard for me since I am truly a man of science. I try to look at it from all angles, but sometimes it is hard to just say that it is all bunk.
More recently I couldn't sleep because I was sure my closet was going to flood. It kept me up so that I finally took all my expensive recording gear out and moved it to my computer room. The next morning I awoke to soaked carpets. The waterheater broke and leaked... flooding the closet... I don't know folks... sometimes... I just don't know,
