Has THIS happened to YOU?

[enigmaticide]

Despite the cheesy/whimsical title, the following depicts a real life experience that took place many decades ago; an occurrence that... haunts me to this very day. For those of you that frighten easily, this shall be your one opportunity to click away for, once I begin this recounting, I shall be every bit as merciless as the spirit itself. You have been warned...

It had been a night much like any other; I was in bed with blanket wrapped tight around me. Slumber fell upon me quickly, within the darkness of my room. Nothing could prepare me for what awaited. As I transcended the border of waking to dreaming, I found myself walking through a moonlit wood; the perceived climate was a comfortable one, Spring, early Fall perhaps. In the distance, I could hear the singing of multiple women, albeit of no discernible language beyond that of music itself; as moth to flame, I was drawn.

Eventually, I found myself stepping into the center of a large circle of trees. As I looked about, dark feminine silhouettes darted from tree to tree, their song never stopping. At that moment, at least, I was awash in feelings of tranquility. Suddenly, out of the corner of my left eye, appeared a dark feminine silhouette with blood red eyes. The moment she was noticed, there was a perceptible pressure against the center of my back; SHE WAS IN MY ROOM! My body paralyzed from the terror.

In my mind, I heard her say the following; "Gofollowyourpathpleasethankyou." Suddenly I was being pushed out of the circle of trees; all the while, my body rolled onto its other side. My mind was racing, screaming questions; "Friend or foe?" "Good or evil?" Although she didn't reply, I could sense her answer; Both.

The woods darkened as I was pushed further away from the circle. Eventually, the need to know overpowered my paralyzation; I slowly rolled back over and forced my eyes open. Acclimated to the darkness, my sight was enough to verify that I was alone in my room; despite the observation, I remained on edge as I went back to sleep. The touch of her hand was STILL at my back.

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting. I don't know what else to say. Thought provoking.

This sounds like sleep paralysis which occurs when your mind wakes up before your body hence being unable to move. In this half dream state you can imagine all sorts of things. While it is scary it is also common and nothing to worry about.

As for the dream we all get something similar occasionally, with a lot of detail and a scary scenario. You can look up the meaning of dreams online.

Sleep terrors are definitely scary and feel very real. I cant imagine what this felt like.,I don't know how old you were at the time but I would imagine at any age they would be scary as ever!
