I am very scared to be in my room alone. Luckily, that doesn't happen too often; my husband and young children also sleep in there. The weirdness started with my husband. He tells me of "attacks" that he often endures in his sleep. He says that he feels like something wakes him, only he can't move. He can feel a presence there, but can't even turn his head to see what it might be. The next thing he knows, he really is waking, and it's daylight. He has also "dreamed" that he is floating over his own body. He can see himself, the children, and me. He said that one night as he hovered overhead, he could see the version of him in bed with me had fangs. It scared him tremendously. A couple of weeks later, I had my own scare. I had insomnia that was keeping me awake with typical anxieties. I was looking up at the ceiling and saw a shadow up above, directly over the baby's bassinet. I jumped out of bed and grabbed hold of my child. I got on my knees and prayed for my family. As of this writing, we haven't found the peace we're seeking.
