What tried to grab me Monday night?

Question

Okay i was half asleep and half awake. I saw myself lying under the covers and all of a sudden something came up in the dark and tried to grab me i jumped and "woke up" screaming. Was this a dream or did it really happen? It was eally scary and freaky. Its like something really was there because i felt it grab my shoulder and then i jumped and screamed teh woke up.

Was this a ghost?

i ask because my 28 yr old brother died suddenly it looks like a drug overdose and it really shocked me...maybe he has unfinished business? he died three weeks ago and i have part of his ashes in a container in my closet.

i also ask because i had a dream in which he talked to me and told me to call 911 and then a man appeared im my kitchen.

Is he warning me of something? I am getting really worried...because i am pregnant by my bf who really should be my ex forever and ever he abuses me and sh*T. my brotehr knew him and didnt approve. thats the only person i can think of who'd hurt me.

Answer 1

you know how you feel like you just fell but you really didn't? it's kind of like that, except gravity came into a physical form and wanted to ...

Answer 2

Who knows, but interestingly enough, frogs represent fertility in many cultures. So maybe you're right-- maybe this has something to do with your pregnancy.

Answer 3

it sounds like a ghost to me. it could even be the spirit of your brother. i have heard of things like this happening before. i think it is trying to tell you to leave your abusive bf, but i would have to learn more to know for sure.

Answer 4

The phenomena is usually called sleep paralysis.  I just had the same thing a few nights ago, had my heart racing.  Felt like something was sitting on my chest.  When we are dreaming our brain immobilizes our body so we don't start flailing around.  Sometimes you wake up but the brain fail to recognize that you've woken up and maintain the paralysis.  This sometimes translates to something holding you down.

Answer 5

You need to get rid of the abusive bf seriously.  People like that never change and trust me I know.  My real father was abusive and I had to put up with that until my mom finally came to her senses when I was 13 or 14.  Its been many many years and hes still the same way from what I understand.  Also the frog was part of the sign.  I'm not exactly sure what that might mean, but considering the situation I would heed it.  When or if your really do get rid of the abusive a hole you need to keep a look out because he might be the psycho type you know.  But its better to break it off with him than keeping him around trust me on that.  Your brother is probably sticking around so he can maybe help you and by the sounds of it he's really trying to.  So take your bro's advice and do the right thing for your baby.

Answer 6

It is all in your head. That happens.

There is no evidence that any paranormal activity of any kind exists.

In fact there's a $1 million (US) prize waiting for anyone that can prove it does exist.

Answer 7

From what you said about your xbf...you don't need your brother to tell you to leave him. You're not only responsible for yourself..you're responsible for your baby. You might have to go into hiding. I don't know how badly he abuses you..but if he does AT ALL..you need to get away from him. SOMEBODY needs to inform him that he doesn't have the right to do that. If he doesn't even show respect for you while you're pregnant..think what he'll do to you when you're not (if you're lucky enough to have a full term baby with him around.)So sorry about your brother. You're privileged to have visits from him.

Answer 8

Most likely a demon inhabiting your house.  Probably stays in the closet etc. during the day, and then comes out at night creeping around.

Answer 9

"Okay i was half asleep".  Say no more.

The vast majority of reported ghost sightings/experiences on Yahoo Answers are correlated with sleep. Either going to sleep, waking from sleep, being sleepy, etc. As you suggested, it is likely just a dream or perhaps a hypnogogic hallucination. The dream you described is kind of common -- something scary or violent happens in the dream, waking up the sleeper who then has trouble piecing together what was dream and what is reality.

Your other dreams that you described didn't really seem to predict anything specific, so I don't see anything significant in them.

Answer 10

you  problay had a bad dream every one has these dreams some times i do some times also i am sorry about your brother you could be just missing your brother.

Answer 11

It was probably just a waking dream or something. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Of course, there's a chance it might've been your brother. If it happens again, you might be right about him trying to warn you about something.. like your boyfriend might hurt your baby and you or something.

But, seriously... you need to leave your boyfriend. He sounds like a typical abusive a hole, and he's not about to change. Don't think that he will change or that you can change him. You can't.

Sorry for your loss, though :(

Answer 12

Answer 13

I didn't do it, it was Santa's little helper.

I'm not taking the P***, just trying to put a smile on your face, it doesn't look like you've had much to smile about recently.

Hope you find a good answer, and things get better for you soon.

Answer 14

If you saw yourself sleeping....sounds like you astral project...OBE. What grabbed you perhaps was a spirit. Did you know while your sleeping your spirit is always awake, and if a spirit comes near to communicate with your spirit, that it's easier at that time to have a OBE. This is what I ascertain through all my experiences with spirits and OBE's that I had.

The dream you had was some type of warning or he is trying to tell you of something that perhaps happen to him.

Did your brother ever hang with this boyfriend of yours?

Sorry to hear about your brother!

I am sure you'll be hearing some more from him:) nothing to worry about.

Answer 15

Its probably a dream

so......

dont be afraid              ^_^
