Have there ever been any accounts of spirits entering a person's dreams?

Question

When I was younger I lived in a haunted house. To give you an idea of why I said its haunted, there was sometimes boots stomping up and down the stairs late at night, my mother saw a woman in a night gown fade away, my father saw a tiny child's rocking chair rock back and forth for about 2-3 min. There was no breeze or anything to make the chair rock.

I didn't witness any of these things happen, but ever since we had moved into the old two story house I had nightmare like dreams. Basically, in the dream it would be pitch black and there would be faces laughing hysterically non-stop, pure insanity. It happened almost every single night after I went to sleep and it was always the same dream with the same details. After we moved, the nightmares stopped.

Answer 1

I am positive someone once remembered a dream in which they are *positive* they were visited by a spirit.  Such a claim would have the same scientific veracity as any other subjective anecdotal experience--that is, none.  In other words, just because a person experienced an unusual "visitation"--in of all places a dream--doesn't validate the claim or even the possibility that such a thing really happened.

Answer 2

Sounds like they were tryng to tell you something , this a very common way for spirits to communicate with you....as you are more relaxed and open to them when you are asleep. I'll bet if  you researched the house you will find the history of these laughing people.

WHen they stood over you laughing was it in a hostile/crazy way? or were they trying to get you to join in the games and fun? Did you see the faces clearly? Could you point htem out if you saw a photograph of the people? You should ask some neighbors about the history of your property.... or you can look it up at the local library.

Answer 3

Spirits and ghost do not act in that manner.  There seems from your explaination to be negative energy there but caused by what, I am not sure.  Do you ever smell odd odors about the house?  If so, it is not energy from a negitive ghost I will assure you.

Answer 4

its very common for spirits to communicate to you through your dreams, i believe its easier that way for them to make the connection.. ive had spirits visit me in my dreams, mostly people i knew that have died..they gave me messages or to let me know they were happy and ok..but then also some can haunt you for what ever reason...

Answer 5

Yes, there is, and people can enter other's dreams too.

Answer 6

Everyone's beliefs are different.  When I dream of someone close to me that has died, I believe our spirits (their's and mine) are in communion.  Sometimes they want to tell me something specific.  Sometimes they just want to hang out.  Mostly it's a positive thing, though not always.  Sometimes it's an answer to a question or problem that has been bothering me.

Answer 7

Thanks for this question. I've wondered this myself. I keep dreaming about a person who did horrible things to me and I don't want to even think about him. The dreams are not about what he did,but different things I've never thought about. I've tried pills (pres) to make it stop..but keeps on..for years. Not scary dreams..just him in my dreams.( He knew how to do spiritual things.)Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Answer 8

It's no wonder you have nightmares.With your parents scaring the daylights out of you.I'll tell you something they should have.There is no such thing as ghosts.

Answer 9

Peter D,

It also doesn't invalidate the claim or the possibility that such things are possible.  Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Visitation dreams are quite common and usually seem much more vivid or real than normal dreams.  It is not unusual to hear someone relate an experience where a loved one passed away then came to them in a dream to say goodbye or comfort them.  These usually do not persist, only happening once, but may reoccur years later if they have a message for you or feel you need their guidance.  

Your experience is completely different and sounds like you were just having bad dreams from daily occurrences and things you heard or heard about during the day.

Answer 10

No, Freddy Krueger notwithstanding.
