Warning in a Dream

This blog is about a dream that I had many years ago. My two sons were ages, 6 and 1 at the time. I believe that the dream was a warning for me about a terrible event that was about to or could have occurred.

My husband was out of town when I had this dream. I was home alone with my two kids. In my dream, I was asleep in my own bed and bedroom. I awoke suddenly and found a guy I have never met standing by the side of my bed holding up a knife. He apparently was ready to stab me. I was so frightened in the dream that I woke up very scared and I was very happy it was only a dream.

I am usually a very deep sleeper and it takes a lot of noise to wake me up. However, because of this dream, I was sleeping very lightly for the next few nights. My bedroom faces the door of the entrance to my house from my two-car garage. This garage also has a side door in which you can enter the garage from my side yard.

Exactly two days after my dream at about 3:30 AM in the morning, I awoke up to the sound of the side garage door opening. I then heard footsteps. I immediately jumped off my bed, grabbed the handle of the door that faces my bedroom and yelled, “Whose there”? Usually I do not have a lot of courage but I was alone and I thought of protecting my children. The person got scared and I heard the person run out of my garage through my side garage door. I stood by the door that faces my bedroom for a minute because I was terrified. I however knew I had to get to the phone to call 911. I did not want to scream as to not wake up my children as I thought that if I did, they would never want to sleep in their rooms alone again.

I finally decided to go to my living room, got my phone and standing back by this door dialed 911. I stayed by this door holding the door handle until the police arrived. I did not trust the strength of this door handle because it was not very sturdy and I thought the person might be back. The police finally arrived, checked out my garage and found the side garage door wide open. The person was long gone. I quickly called my husband to let him know what happened and then my neighbors to warn them in case the person tried to enter their garages. I calmed down a bit after that and just laid down in my bed wide-awake until morning.

The next morning, my best friend called to see if my kids and I wanted to go to the beach with her and her daughter. It was summer time, my kids were not in school and I was off work for the summer as I teach. I said I would love to go and then quickly told her this story.

She got pretty excited and said, “oh my God, what time did the incident occur”. I said, 3:30 AM. She said that at that very moment, she had woken up really scared, woken up her husband and told him that she felt someone had just invaded the house of someone she knew and she thought it was her mom’s home. Her husband said, “honey, don’t be silly, just go back to sleep”. I stated that I thought it was amazing that she was able to sense that someone she knew was in danger. She said that this had never happened to her before.

Since then, I called a locksmith and had professional locks put on both doors. To this day, my kids still do not know what happened that night and I hope they never do until they are at least adults. I also hope they do not read this blog anytime soon.

Clairaudience, Sleep Paralysis or a combination of both?

Clairaudience, Sleep Paralysis or a combination of both?

This is a story about a Paranormal event that I experienced when I was just 15 years old. At the time, my family and I had just moved into a new home. The movers had not yet finished delivering our furniture. Therefore, for the first month, my entire family and I slept in the same bedroom.

One time during this month, I suddenly awoke from a dead sleep, sat straight up in my bed, wanted to scream so badly but I could not. The reason I wanted to scream is because I was hearing things that were really scaring me.

I heard a lot of noise. The noise seemed to be coming from my living room. I heard people running back and forth, heard people giving other people orders on what to do but I could not make out what was being said. It seemed to be the kind of noise you were hear in a hospital emergency room.

At this point, I thought people had broken into my home and I was just scared out of my mind. I also could not understand why everyone else in my family which were all asleep in the same bedroom did not seem to hear anything and were all sound asleep.

After the noise quieted down, I was finally able to scream and started to cry hysterically. My parents immediately woke up and tried to comfort and calm me down. They told me the noise I heard was just a dream and to try to get back to sleep. My father however did check out the entire home and assured me that no one had broken into our house.

However, the next day, my family got two different phone calls. The first phone call informed us that a family member from my father’s side died in a hospital emergency room, several states away, during the night. No one in my family even knew that one of our family members was even sick. The second phone call informed us that another family member on my mother’s side also died in his sleep during the same night.

So what do you all think? Was this Sleep Paralysis, Clairaudience or a combination of the two?
