Whoa! What do you call this?

A few nights ago I had stayed overnight at the office to finish a writing assignment due the next morning. I took several small naps throughout the night and drank coffee. Love coffee!!!

During one of my naps, I slept on the couch in the lobby area. I dozed off pretty quickly. I don’t know how long I was sleeping before I felt like the couch was moving. I was about to get up, but decided to relax and see what happens. The couch felt like it was rocking me back and forth. It was kinda cool. Then I thought, “What if I could make it move like a swing?” So I tried it and the couch swung faster or slower. I even tried spinning. I was very aware I was sleeping, but that I was having this experience.

Then I thought I saw a flashlight. I thought the security guard was going to see me and ask why I was still there. I got scared and tried to get up. Even though I still knew I was sleeping, I got up, but it was very difficult to “walk.” I was trying to hide from the guard. I was trying to wake myself up, but couldn’t. I finally made it around the corner, I guess unseen – then I woke up. My eyes opened, but I didn’t feel ready to get up. My heart was beating fast, so I waited until I could collect myself. I checked the clock and I was sleeping for about 20 minutes. Amazing still was that I felt well rested to continue my writing marathon. (Need to read Steve’s articles regarding procrastination).

What was that? Was there a reason for that to happen and can I do that again? It was kinda cool until I got scared. After a few days, I can still get goosebumps thinking about it!

Any ideas and/or suggestions are welcomed!!! Thanks!!!

Hey,

I really dont know an exact thing to tell you, I can just share my similiar experience since no one else has replied. It may have something to do with your brain being really tired...

But about a month ago I just started reading on EVP's and stuff because of a house we moved into that is very creepy. I'm kinda skeptical but remain open-minded. I had read about someone picking up EVP's while in the "twilight" sleep. So, I had been up till 1 am cleaning and things and had to be up at 4 am, like every morning, so I was pretty tired. But anyway, I wanted to try the EVP thing in my sleep because I go into twilight sleep all the time. I just didnt expect anything to happen.

I sat on the couch for a min. and dozed. Once I realized I was in that Twilight sleep I decided I was gonna try like what I had read to see if I picked up any EVP's. I said in my dream, "Hi, I'm Lacey, and I'm listening, if you are here, do you have anything to say?" All of the sudden it was like 100's of voices surrounded me on the couch. It scared me. I couldn't see anyone and but the voices were there and I could sense "them". It was like they were trying to talk over each other to be heard. Male and Female voices, some in some other language. It got louder and felt more oppressive and scary. I wanted to pull out of the sleep and wake up but it was hard. I got scared and thought, someone must be in my house. In my dream I was reaching for where I keep my gun. As if thats gonna stop spirits or whatever they are, but I was scared. I had gotten my gun in my hand, but it was so hard to move or do anything. Then one of the voices came in real clear, as if someone was standing in front of me, and she just said, "Lacey". Well, that startled me even more, and with that I was able to wake up.

When I woke, my heart was racing, and I expected to actually have my gun in my hand because the dream or whatever was so real, but I didnt. I was sitting right there in the same spot on the couch. I looked at the clock and had been dozing for about 15-20 min.

I was kinda scared to go back to sleep...

But it may have just been my over-tired brain, in combination with what I had recently read...
