Do spirits/ghosts mess with you while you're sleeping?

If so, why do you think that is?

When I can’t sleep I force myself to close my eyes and try to filter out my thoughts, I appear to be sleeping. There have been a few random occasions where my hand was lifted or a couple of fingers. Beneath my hand I could feel this ice cold sensation. I don’t mean to add gloom to this question but when my Grandmother died years ago and I was at the funeral and kissed her forehead, that is exact same kind of cold sensation I’m talking about. I don’t know what makes it different but it’s not the same as an ice cube cold feeling.

Anyways, just wondering if any of you have experienced this and why do you think that they mess with you?

I’m thinking that they are practicing. 😉

Update:

TR, read my question again. No I wasn’t sleeping. I said when I can’t sleep I just lay there with my eyes closes and try to filter the thoughts from my mind. I was quite awake when this happened, I wasn’t dozing off. But I was just posting this to hear other people’s experiences and chat about it. I thought it would be rude to ignore your question though.

Update 2:

Reiki Chick, thanks for the advice! My place is normally pretty clean, I am not noticing I am getting “passerby’s”. They don’t stay here, they are just passing through. I don’t know why they are though…and I’m not entirely sure what they are either.

WOW, so many great answers here, it’s going to be really hard to pick BA!

  • When you are laying there, eyes closed, clearing your mind, you are most likely in the Alpha state, which is one of the states of consciousness psychics get into when doing a reading, or Witches get into when doing spells, or even atheletes (they call it “The Zone”) or artists when they are in an inspired frenzy.

    Basically it is a heightened state of awareness, so it is no wonder you are picking up on things you are not otherwise able to pick up on when awake.

    Spirits will sense this when you are in this state, and if they are trying to make contact with you, they will try harder at this point.

    And I know that feeling… you are right, there is no other feeling like it in the world. It is unmistakable.

  • I definitely feel that ghosts or whatever mess with me when i am falling asleep. It seems that it is when I am about to fall asleep sometimes things happen. I have heard noises, the ones that stay with me the most is that I heard someone sighing or exhaling on my ear next to me and the other one was that i was touched behind my head when i knew I was not moving or anything.Both of these experiences made me get wide awake but I saw nothing. I just felt like someone pushed against my head but no one was in my room and my room was locked too. I really don’t know if my mind was just messing with me but It definitely felt real.

    Another weird thing is that we will hear that someone is throwing small rocks at our room windows in the middle of the night or somethings during the day. We immediately look outside but no one is there and we live in a pretty rural area so people aren’t normally around.

    I have also seen light orbs which are literally 2 feet away from me. I tried to grab and feel these orbs but nothing was there.I compared them to fireflies by watching videos of them and I definitely know they weren’t fire flies because it stood still in midair for a good 30 seconds. I am not the only that saw them at the time so I know it wasn’t my mind. This isn’t a frequent occurrence but it has happened. It is the kind of things that leave you wondering what they could be. I sometimes think I should video record myself while I sleep to see if I get some explanation but I haven’t done it yet.

  • It could be someone trying to communicate with you. It might be someone alive or the spirit of someone who has passed.

    A few years ago I would frequently glimpse a shadow by my bed just as I was waking up. But a second later I saw nothing. Then once I had a “sleep paralysis” experience, in which I couldn’t move, but saw the image of an “ugly” person. But all I could feel was compassion. In my mind, I said, “Go in love and peace,” and I heard a reply, “Love and peace.” After that, it never happened again.

    I don’t know if this was all my imagination, due to the stress of someone in the family being very ill, or something else. But the time between asleep and being fully awake is a time when unusual experiences happen.

  • In my experience, yes spirit and entities can mess with you while you are sleeping in some circumstances.

    I recently did a paranormal investigation where family members were experiencing the same type of dream. A loved one would walk up to them in the dream, the dreamer would feel strong emotions and the two would hug. The loved one would then morph into a scary creature (always described as the same creature) and then the dreamer would feel like they were being choked. They would awake and still feel like they were being choked. Often they would have marks on their necks and scratches on their bodies as well.

    In the case of that family, I discovered that the mother was dabbling in things she shouldn’t have and called the creature to the house. Further she nurtured its presence because she liked the drama, chaos and negativity it created. (very messed up woman)

    I have also read a lot of stories about the Sea Hag syndrome and other similar accounts. Its interesting that there are reports from all over the world and spanning all ages.

    I think whether or not it can happen largely depends on the openness of the person, as well as what’s going on in their life and in their home.

    If a person is chaotic, on drugs, or has other issues, it seems in my experience that they are more vulnerable then someone who is balanced and peaceful.

    Although I think a home can draw the entity as well.

    Regular smudging, white lighting, should take care of it. But if you have any concerns, you could always keep some protection crystals around the corners of your bed to help seal the space and do some grounding and protection rituals before going to sleep.

    I hope that helps. 🙂

  • i don’t think they’re “messing” with you. It’s been my expereince that they’re taking advantage of one being in a more open state… and less likely to jump up and freak out…

    But remember, you WEREN’T sleeping. I don’t know about you, but I can tell by looking at someone if they’re sleeping or laying there wiht their eyes shut… the energy is different.

    It might even BE your Gramdma, taking your hand…maybe to sooth you to sleep? My Grampa visits occasionally that way.

  • As a child, I remember seeing a dark figure sitting in a rocking chair, it got up and walked right through me and I hurried back to bed. Later, as a teenager, in the same house, I had a small drum set and when I went to bed, it would start to make noise as if it was being tapped. I was comfortable with this phenomenon and dealt with it by being open to the idea of a spirit doing it. As an adult, in a barracks in Fort Benning, Georgia, I was asleep on my couch and woke unable to move. I started to get angry and growled some curses and got up very quickly, searching all around the room for the shadow but I thought I saw it run through the wall. When I spoke to the soldier in the next room, where the figure ran, he said it had happened to him once also. So, yes I do believe you can be messed regardless if you are asleep or not.

  • Eh…yes! One time actualy! We were exploring some Indian ruins in Arizona, and then we went to a hotel, and my parents said the next morning, that they heard me sleep talking a Native American chant! And my entire family’s Polish, and have absolutely no connection to any Native American tribe, so I don’t know how to explain it! I think it might have been a spirit! Maybe some kind of channeling or something, or maybe I was just talking jibberish, but whatever it was, it was “So Weird” But ya, I still think it was a spirit that was using me for something!

  • The time between sleeping and waking is usually the most psychic time

    for most people. Some people do see things then that thy would not

    be able to see in the normal waking state. And I think your openness

    and receptivity allow it to happen.

    I once heard Hugh Lynn Cayce tell a story about walking up the stairs

    and encountering a ghost. He said it was cold and electrifying, and that his hair

    stood on end.

    Source(s): Try talking to them. see what they want. Probably they are lost
    and confused.

  • I think there is something we don’t understand, I am facing same problem, when I sleep someone or something blow on my face its like someone do HA and exhaled hard, and other day when I was sleeping I felt some e touch my nose hard, and ones I felt someone pat over the quilt I was covering, I don’t understand what should I do
