Heres the deal. I was asleep taking an afternoon nap recently at my fathers house. I started to have a dream where I saw all these weeping willow trees, and huge bolders, and black crows. They were flying by my head and when I woke myself up i couldn't move any part of my body. Finally my body started to move again starting with my head, then my neck, then shoulders and so on until my entire body moved. When my body started to "wake up" again and my head was the only thing that would move I turned my head and looked up at the door way and there was a huge, black tall figure standing there. I could feel scratches going down my arm and then he walked out of the room. I jumped up to check out my arms and they were bleeding in a set of three scratch marks down both arms and over to my shoulders and back. When I got into the living room I heard a series of loud knocks on the door. I immediatly froze and sat on the couch then i head my bedroom window open. I looked out into the hallway and a man came out of my room, into my moms room, then into the spare bedroom, and then he turned around and saw me. He had a mean look on his face, completely full of hate. Then he looked off into the distance and got this scared look on his face and ran out of my house. I wonder if maybe he saw that same figure and it scared him off. Anyways, I think maybe it (the tall black figure - by the way..it was a male.) was trying to protect me. I just wondered if maybe someone could give me an opinion on that one. I still have a few scars on my arm from the scratches, and there is always a possibility i did it to myself, but I can't reach some of the places on my back where I was scratched. So...im confused. Thanks Alicia in atlanta.
Wow you should have turned on the lights and called the Police. Its normal to come out of your dreams and not be able to move (wow that sounds wierd ) A person may wake up and find himself unable to move or speak as if he is frozen. He also may hear footsteps, see a ghost-like creature, or feel someone sitting on his chest. Throughout the history, people considered this phenomenon as work done by evil spirits. However, the modern science can explain the terrifying event as a Sleep Paralysis. http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro00/web1/Takahashi.html I hope that provides some type of information. Next time call the police. I dont think it was some type of guardian angel, probably because I dont believe in angels, but you never know
I wasn't able to get to the phone or turn on any lights or anything like that. It all happened so fast. On top of that I wasn't wearing clothes because I was home alone, so I was wrapped in a blanket. Thanks for taking the time to reply and give me the site. I was baby sitting my nephew today so i don't have time to look at it now, but I will most definatly look through the site later on tonight. Thanks so much alicia
wow, thats pretty frightening. at least that site loserman posted seems to explain it pretty well, maybe itl be easier to get help if it happens again
what!? so u were awake when u saw this wierd man in your house? and when you were sleeping you saw this black figure? and you had scratches on your arms? did the wierd man scratch you? holy shit thats so messed up. there was a man in your house then he saw something that made him run away. woah. i would never go back into that house again. thats so freaky.
well if it was a ghost, then chances are he is a bad entity and doesnt want you around, and the other one protecting you could have been your spirit guide. But Im not sure thats freaky as hell tho.
Atom bomb therapy, These seem to be your dream symbols: weeping willow trees - crying because of a friend huge bolders - obstacles black crows - sadness flying around head - things seem out of control and you can't think straight couldn't move - can't make a decision huge, black tall figure - unknown person coming into your life bleeding scratches - hidden hostility, possible illness coming three scratch marks encircling back and arms - very close to you; may be 3 different people or 3 different times loud knocks on the door - opportunities coming mean look on his face, completely full of hate - obvious meaning I think maybe the tall black was trying to protect me. If you had that feeling while asleep then it probably is a valid interpretation.
