ghostly visitors

im not sure exactly whether to post this but i figure my fellow lucid dreamers can relate to me more than any others can...anyway here it goes.. a couple nights ago i went to bed around 5am (totaly sober). I was so extremely exhausted that i easily slipped into a lucid state very quickly.

the dream: I found myself floating around my house, but not the regular kind of floating, more like someone or soemthing had control over me and was tumbling me around in the air..my house was dark and very very unwelcoming. I felt evil. I felt darkness depression, fear, all of the above. In my dream i felt very out of place and very scared. I floated into a bedroom which used to be mine, i saw my body lying on the ground facing the window (which faces a cementary, which i saw in my dream from oustide the window) I wanted to be whole with my body so i floated towards it. i was about to merge my soul with my body then suddenly i felt something push me or pull me away from my body (very violently) it felt like two of the same magnets pushing each other apart. i got more scared. i tried again to enter my body, i did but some force didnt want me facing the window (towards the cementary) so instead my sould was facing the left while my body was facing the right. Once inside my body i found myself lying in my bed...still the dream.....i was in bed but i felt a dark evil around me. this darkness (which i felt as a man) was pusing me off my bed. I was constantly sliding off my bed. This terrified me to the point where i wanted to cry, but i couldnt move, i couldnt scream i couldnt even cry but i do remember whimpering because thats the only thing i could do. i finally woke up when i got pushed off the bed entirely. I remember thinking "this isnt real this cant be happenin" so i woke up lying on my back......

It was around 5:50am when i opened my eyes. i was paralyzed and in that split second i saw and heard my door to my room open just a tiny bit by itself then close, as if something or someone was letting themselves out. I finally wiggled out of the sleep paralysis and yelled to see if someone was in the hallway no one was. i also noticed my pillow was hanging halfway off my bed as was i.

now thinking about this i remember a dream i had years ago where someone (a man) invisible was pulling the sheets of me while i slept..again in that dream i couldnt move..at that time my bedroom was in the room where my soul entered my body (the one facing the cementary)

Also, last year i woke up from a nap and sleep paralysis had taken over my body. the second i woke up i was conscious but couldnt move. I then heard a womans voice talk into my ear. She had an accent and a sense of urgency in her voice...as if she had been waitng an eternity to tell me what she told me. i dont remember her exact words but the message was something like...dont be scared, its ok, close your eyes you are safe...

that voice was welcoming, scary at first then i realized she meant me no harm. but this encounter with the door opening and closing is beyond me

are my senses of the paranormal evolving?
have i had this presence visit me before as a child?
whats the connection with sleep paralysis and encountering spirits? does it have to do with having your mind in both worlds?

    Pablo, i have no answers for you. But i relate perfectly with aspects of your dream.

    The floating around your house with someone or something having control has happened to me many times over the years. It is an ongoing, evolving thing with me.

    This being controlled by some 'spirit' in a floating or flying mode isn't always in my house. It has been in so many varied situations that i couldn't possibly go into it. But sometimes it is just like you said. Sometimes in the house i grew up in and where the rooms are dark and ominous, like what'll happen if i float around the corner into that other room? What'll be there? Scary!

    This may just be the beginning of an ongoing thing with you. And it may not always be scary. It may be utterly mind-blowing and fantastic. I truly find that these 'spirits' - who seem to ride on my back - are as varied in their malevolance or decent-spiritedness as people. No, they tend more, in my experience, toward the malevolent and more controlling. But not always.

    And regarding the paralysis, i've had similar experiences trying to pull myself out of an uncomfortable dream situation. But i've always been in a normal sleeping position when i finally woke up.

      I'm now glad I joined this group. This stuff has happened to me also. Scared the crap out of me when I seen the outline of a man figuer coming towards my bed and I'm tring to get up, just when he is about to reach me, it seems I wake fully as he fades out. I sit up, but I still feel something in the room.Someone told me,Its shadow people...They are what you see when you see movement from the side and when you turn, there is nothing there.

        I'm happy i joined this group as well, and can see other people's experiences. i'm not sure how to explain any of it, but i relate to it in my own ways too. as scary as it can be sometimes, it's much more exciting. i feel pretty lucky to be open to these kind of experiences.
