I did think before posting. I thought it was funny.

Sorry if I offended you, ticked you off, or made you feel bad in any way.

I occassionally suffer from pavor nocturnus- night terrors. When I suddenly awake from sleep, I think I see thing: bugs, people, etc. For a few seconds to as long as a few minutes, I have trouble separating dream from reality. Are the things I experience in , then, apparitions? If so, my house is freakin' haunted!

Yeah, I unfortunatly have the same problem and it is defintiely much stronger when I drink a lot of alcohol, am in an unfamilair setting, after running long distances that day (have no idea why), or have a stressful situation in my life. I have freaked out many of people with my sleepwalking and talking. And I can look back on a lot of experiances I have had and laugh about what I was thinking, but damn is it scary when it is happening.

I think situations like I have make me about 100 times more compassinate towards the mentally ill. You would be hardpressed to convince me there isn't someone in my room for about 20 minutes after I wake up.

I would have to agree with Cam and Tigercat earlier that you should have a good sense of humor about it. It was probably the tail end of a dream and while freaky at the time you should have some fun with it later. Otherwise I have probably seen about 100 ghosts in my lifetime.

Dola.

Plus, I'm sure most of the Chistian-aphobes don't want to hear my personal testimony.

The Lord's wrath is mighty, and as pathetic as Satan is, fooling with his minions is idiotic. That is all I will say at this time.

Yes- definitely scary as hell. Fortunately, our minds are quickly able to shift back to reality. Imagine the poor guy stuck in that terrifying universe.

Anyway, before my point is lost, I am inclined to believe that apparitions and the like are the same phenomenon (hallucinations) but simply to a lesser degree.
