Have you ever gone through this?

[Nikkol]

I put this on another board and wanted to ask you guys as well......


This is something that has happened to me over the years and only a few years ago I started to really think about it (again)....

Have you ever been sleep and awakened by what appeared to be someone slapping you on your face? I've had that happen to me sometimes. And also more recently, if I'm sitting in a chair and fall asleep, I sometimes feel like someone taps me on my shoulder or my hand and awakens me..... it's nothing that scares me or anything like that. But I just wondered if anyone else may have had that experience or something like that.

I know that when I was younger, I remember seeing what appeared to be my mom on the floor crawling towards me which freaked me out a bit. (she's still alive) And she and my dad ran in my room when they heard me screaming and hollering. Other than that, I saw what I found out was known as "The hat man" standing over me when I was in bed one night. I called on Jesus (of course) and my husband woke up and prayed. At first I thought it was some figment of my imagination... but my husband said that it was real (he can usually feel when there's a "demonic presence" around).

I said that to just say if anyone has any other experiences.......

My testimony:

After being reclaimed (refilled with the holy spirit after years of going astray) for a number of years, I lived in a particular unsaved family member's home. There were two adult unsaved people who lived in the home. Me and my twins. Also, since this wasn't my home, I was not in control of the people who came and went.

I cannot count the times I would wake up from sleep feeling like some one or some thing was smoothering me in my sleep. This wasn't a dream, or an imagination. I was actually being smoothered in my sleep. My mouth would always be numb, I would not be able to speak, but in my mind I'd be saying "the Blood of Jesus" and "In the name of Jesus". Always, after a few moments of not being able to breath, whatever it was would lift off me and I'd be able to breath again. I would pray and things would be okay until the next time.

After a few years, maybe seven or eight, one morning as I was waking up, in the spirit the Lord allowed me to see something I will never ever forget. Because of a back problem, I usually sleep on my back. God allowed me to look down on myself from like the ceiling or something and see myself laying asleep on my back in my bed. I saw an angel I saw a sword and he was standing guard over me only his body was suspended in air completely covering me and protecting me.

I will never forget that sight as long as I live.

Hey Nikkol,
I had about 3 similar experiences...
Once I had a friend that came into town to visit me... She slept on my couch and I was in my bedroom. I got up in the morning and went to the bathroom and so I think I saw her awake and she knew I was up. So then I go back into my bedroom to lay down for a little longer.

While I was laying down I promise I hear the door open and literally "feel" the weight of the bed shift as if someone laid down besides me. I thought it was my friend coming in to talk to me. So I roll over and open my eyes and nobody was there! I know that experience wasn't my imagination!

Another time my pet rabbit had recently died. When he was alive he would hide behind my couch and tear up paper. A few weeks after he died I was sitting on my couch and I heard the same noise that souded like he went behind the couch and was tearing paper! I looked an of course nothing was there... But I know my rabbit was the only thing that could make that sound! After that experience i never heard that sound again...

The last experience was the scary one... I wondered if it occured because I was reading material that was about ungodly spirits such as "spirit guides" "soul mates/twin flames". I woke up in the middle of the night and it felt like I was under attack. Like something was above me... It also was like I was "awake" but my body was still asleep and I couldn't move or open my eyes or mouth. I too started pleading the Blood of Jesus until it stopped...

All those experiences happedd to me years ago... I haven't experienced anything like it over 7 years...

I shared this on board sometime ago..of how when I was younger I woke in the middle and saw this woman going from the bed to bed. I later found it out it was our grandmother.; this one and only all her granddaughters had ever the same. We never knew her..she died before we were born. Kitty..I can relate to the "weight on the bed"..I can be going to sleep and feel the weight of someone sitting on the bed..and I live alone.
