IcyGreenTea Wrote:It sounds like what Chinese people traditionally refer to as "ghost holding you down". I never had experienced that, but I do see things occassionally, and have personally experienced inexplicable phenomenons. I feel presences of people/spirits, thus I always sit in the back of the room where there's no one behind me or else I feel agitated. Sometimes I catch a whiff of perfumes or sweet scene in my room that I know I don't own. The latest weird thing is sometimes when I listen to music/audiobook in the middle of the night, I feel like I can hear someone else other than the voice(s) coming from my MP3 player talking, sometimes even more than one voice, but I could not hear what they say no matter how hard I concentrate. Meh, hearing voices, I must be insane. XD
You've experienced quite a few fascinating moments.
The only paranormal event I've encountered, not even directly, was when my grandmother died. My mom was assertive that she "visited" her in her dream, and my aunt also said so the next day, they both saw the grandmother wearing the clothes they put on her after she passed away.
As for my sleeping conditions, I think I sleep quite normally and regularly. Except for recently when I would take a long nap from 4 or 6pm to 8 or 9pm, then stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning. Generally, I sleep when I feel tired and have had little to no difficulty.
I also know the feeling of "falling" asleep, which make me wonder if they used the word "fall" unintentionally or it was implied. Yes, as a matter of fact the feeling that tells me for sure I'm about to drift asleep is quite like "falling" or "sinking", or more like my surroundings are floating up. There were times I couldn't sleep immediately when I decided to, of course, I would lay there for 10 minutes, half and hour, maybe an hour and whenever that feeling came I would know for sure that would be the moment to kiss my pillow goodnight.
