Recurring experiences as a youth... since ceased

Years ago I used to have a recurring, terrifying yet intriguing dream. I only say dream because it happened while I was in bed sleeping, trying to sleep or desperately trying to wake up. What I felt when this was happening was my body being pulled up and out of my body by an unseen force; usually starting with my hands or arms. Meanwhile I am trying to either wake up, or hold my space to the solidness of the bed or both.

Oddly enough after these sorts of feelings departed I found myself sleeping with my arms in the air. Odd it seems, all together.

Any input?

I have no doubt an entity was trying to gain a foothold in your life. Your resisting it may have made it give up... or it could be laying low for awhile. Spirits have an amazing ability to be patient and sneaky. I'm glad you resisted as much as you did.
