Two things this week…

[GoingOffScript]

I don’t believe in ghosts, paranormal beings, superstition, supernatural etc etc.

But. On Tuesday evening I was in bed reading. It’s wasn’t late and I hadn’t been drinking or taken any drugs beyond my HRT. Around 10.30, I turned the light off. I turned onto my side and I felt something fall from the ceiling onto my leg. It could be described as being between a ball being bounced off my leg or something hitting me. I turned the light back on. Nothing there. The dog curled up on the landing asleep and I was alone in the house. It was odd; I’ve no logical explanation for it.

Last night, I awoke to feel like I was being tucked into bed. It woke me up. I looked to the bottom of my bed and saw what I thought was smoke. The smoke then stood and climbed up onto a shelf, went through, and was gone.

The second incident I’m willing to explain that it was a dream and something had awoken me so, I didn’t see that black smoke. But, I think I did.

Anyone any ideas? I’m baffled.

Vivid dream and hypnagogic hallucinations are really common during menopause.

I can accept the dream but. Makes sense. But the hit in the leg? I’d only just turned the light off.

Hallucinations can be auditory and sensory too.

I feel something brush past my feet in my house most mornings as if they are walking past the bottom of the bed. No ones there. In another house I regularly sleep in I have a bedsted so there's a headrest thingie at both ends. It never happens there. And that house is weird! We all hear stuff there.

But I have also had periods where I can feel someone slowly poking my back with a finger in the day when standing up, even in my friends house. So it's not nodding off or waking up. So logically I'd say it's just chemicals in your brain.

I'd also still feel weirded out about someone saying hello next to me when I was alone and the things the kids have told me they have experienced.

Either way you will never catch my foot hanging the side of the bed 😂

dysesthesia of some kind? Anyway, some kind of nerve pain/reaction/neuropathy and your brain interpreted a light touch wrongly. I often get a feeling of something icy cold falling on my skin and think I’m definitely going to see it’s water fallen on me from somewhere, it never is.
