I have had night terrors on and off since I was about six or seven (I am now 27). They seem to generally be triggered by stress although not exclusively. Two of my cousins also suffer from them so I guess there might also be some genetic factors. \n\nA typical episode will usually involve coming into wakefulness very rapidly, whist at the same time experiencing some 'terror' scenario. These can vary from nasty insects, snakes, strange people / figures or just the feelings of a malevolent force in the room. The thing which sets these experiences apart from typical nightmares is the fact that these things happen during apparent wakefulness i.e. they are like waking nightmares. \n\nFor many these experiences are accompanied by sleep paralysis, but for me I am usually totally mobile and up and out of bed faster than a cat of a hot tin roof. It will then take me a few minutes to 'come down' from the event, during which time the scenario will continue to play out, and I will be able to see, hear, smell or feel whatever is occuring as if it were totaly real. As my fear subsides I will gradually realise that there isn't a scorpion in my bed or some evil figure in the room to the point where I am able to recognise it for what it is i.e. just a night terror. Once I am back to normal I am then able to return to bed and go back to sleep as if nothing happened.\n\nInterestingly they are not always 'terrors' and sometimes the events will be accompanied by intense feelings of joy and happiness, but on the whole there is usually some kind of nightmarish quality to them.\n\nPersonally, over the years, I have learnt to deal with them and accept that it will happen from time to time. My girlfriend is very understanding and knows not to freak out if I suddenly leap out of bed at night! I know from talking to my cousin that she wasn't so comfortable and would often avoid spending the night with people in case she had one. I guess it could be quite frightening if you weren't expecting it!..\n\nI hope this helps! If you want any more information, please feel free to contact me.

While I was in prison about two years ago. I started studying scripture. No one forced me to read the bible it was a decision I made on my own. Well anyway I really enjoyed reading scriptures and I began to see the truth. I began to see all the lies we were feed throughout our lives. Once I started getting more into the WORD of GOD... I felt that I was becoming closer to him. About two months before I was getting out of prison. My day was usual I would take naps during the day to kill time but anyways I had just finished reading some scriptures and praying. I fell asleep, and next thing I knew I was in a state of mind were I was awake but not able to really move.. Basically I started having a vision. I am in a child hood home and looking outside a huge window pane..As I look outside this window I see a huge mountain with hundereds of trees...and above it a huge funnel cloud or massive storm over it. Okay so I am like.. what heck...and as I am staring into the window...I have my girlfirend at the time next to me. Whom I later married. and I hear this sound like a whilsting sound... I guess you good say it was like a horn...blowing.... And as I look up, there is streak of fire coming from the sky....one by one it started raining fire.. The sound became louder and louder...at this point I am so scared that I take my wife and we start runing to differnt rooms in the house looking for something to cover us from the fire... Huge fire balls come hurling down destorying everything and leaving holes where buildings stood.. But no matter how many fell I still was not hit by any of them.. I remeber the overwhelming feeling of wanting to hide my self.... so finally we made it to a closet..and covered our sleves with eachothers arms.. I heald her tight and covered her so she would not be hurt. Then slowly one by one the fire stopped and I remeber distinctly that last one sound...that trumpet...blow.... Next thing I see is huge amounts of hail falling from the sky and snow.. so much snow that I have ever seen.. there was so much it that it covered me and my wife to our neck..s I remeber vivdly wiping the snow away from her face.. and then.. I woke up.. with this overwhelming feeling that someone had poured water all over me.. I jumped out of my bunk.. and looked around noone was there.. But it felt so real... the water..to hard to explain... But I knew then... then.. that God had showed something to me... I remeber crying and breaking down praying and thanking God for his vision. I knew then that was the closest I ever came to his Spirit. That day I devoted my life to him JESUS I have never looked back since that day. Now I am a Christian...\n\nNow to make sure that my vision was real I put it up to scripture. Keep in mind that I was not familar with the Word of God.. So it was not like I subconjusly put those thoughts there. What scripture I did read after this happen was in \nRevelations 5:12 to 15\nI watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned bllod red.. AND THE STARS IN THE SKY FELL TO EARTH AS LATE FIGS DROP FROM A FIG TREE WEHN SHAKEN BY A STRONG WIND. THE SKY RECEDED LIKE A SCROLL, ROLLING UP, AND EVERY MOUNTIAN AND ISLAND WAS REMOVED FROM ITS PLACE. THEN THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, THE PRINCES, THE GENERALS, THE RICH, THE MIGHTY, AND EVERY SLAVE AND EVERY FREE MAN HID IN THE CAVES AND AMONG THE ROCKS OF THE MOUNTAINS. THEY CALLED TO THE MOUNTAINS AND THE ROCKS, " FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB!\n\nnow from that time until hmm I would say four or five months had passed. In my mind I knew the vision meant more.\nBut God always has a way to present things to you later.\nWell on day as I was reading scripture I found this which made alot of sense in comparsion of my vision. NOw keep in mind I never read these scriptures before. \n2 Peter 3:07\nBy the same word the presen

yup!I can relate to some of these experiences. I have times where I know the outcome of the situation before it occurs.It is a good gift to have. I can sense people's energies very often and sometimes I get drained from their energy as well. Be open to this gift. In fact, I myself am thinking about developing my intuition a little bit more. There are some things in this world that are supernatural and I believe in them a lot. I believe that we were all born with this gift and it can be developed over time if we are open to it. In religion with all due respect Jesus had psychic abilities. Yes, psychic experiences are real. I have experienced it very often. And no, I have no psychological problems what-so-ever. I am a music major and live happily and enjoying life and a straight A student. It just so happen that it's in my genes. I come from a happy home. :O) I am Catholic on top of that. If they are real psychics they won't charge $1,000, they will charge less and they will not be demanding.

What a wonderful question! And it has gifted me with the memory of something I have not thought about for years. In my teens, I went through a rebellious phase, as do many young people, and I decided that I didn't want to attend church services with my family anymore. My mother gave up arguing with me and let me go my way. \n\nOne winter morning I woke to a glorious sound with the odd jangle to it, here and there. I rushed to my window and opened it for better hearing. It was winter, still very dark, but a small slice of moon in the sky gave a wonderful luminescence to a few fine snowflakes just beginning to drift down. The sound was coming from the bell tower of a little church down the street. The bell ringer was not in sync with the rhythm, every so often a little late or a little fast at pulling on the ropes, but the discord didn't lessen the effect. The snow, the moonlight, and the joyful ringing of the bells, produced in me an indescribable feeling of exultation. Suddenly for the first time in months, I wanted to attend church. My family was surprised to find me at the breakfast table, but not a word was said. Later in church, the solemnity of the service, the small, jingling hand bells, used throughout as reminders for worshippers, and the words of the sermon, all blended together to produce for me a feeling that I can only call "Oneness" with something much bigger than I, or indeed the whole human race. For the first time in my life I truly understood the words, "spiritually uplifted." \n\nBut it was the bells that drew me first. Without their cheerful cacaphony, I would have slept peacefully through the early morning. Oh! What I would have missed!

I had an out of body experience.  I floated above my body and watched my friends try to wake me up.  They were yelling at me to breathe and I was alright after a short time.  When I came down, I realized what a low existence we live in.  Reality is a very low existence.  It's hard to put in words.....)(

I have gotten it before. My eyes were open but I couldn't move a muscle. didn't experience buzzing/rushing noises. I did what you suggest and turned it around. Great experience. I'd love for it to happen again.

As a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked at a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nOne time on a camping trip, we created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nOne time, while engaging in on-line activities, a witch and I played a game of "where am I touching you" and we were able to correctly identify where and how the other person was touching from thousands of miles apart over IM\n\nFor a while, a friend and I maintained a karmic connection, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"\n\nOften times when I'm driving, I'll see someone walking who doesn't look as several cars go past, and I'll look at the person, and they'll turn to look as I approach. Whereas people with the person (the ones I wasn't looking at) don't turn.

You know, I just listened to a recording by Kishori Amonkar, a Hindustani singer, and it was one of her really good ones that just takes the soul to another level.  For a moment, I honestly felt like I was experiencing the most amazing thing.  Let me try to explain it:  Basically, it was like I had here on this recording proof that "humans" exist!  Try to imagine what it would be like to have a recording of gods or angels singing, and it was proof that those entities really did exist.  Imagine how you'd feel.  That's how I felt when I heard this singing.  It was like I was being priveleged to listen to something absolutely amazing and unbelievable.  It was like, wow, they actually DO exist!  Here they are, human beings, singing to God.  They are really there.\n\nOk, this is almost impossible for me to explain, and I'm sure I didn't do a good job.  But my point is that we think there are apsaras or angels whose job it is to sing to God, and in reality, we know that humans exist who do this very thing.  So humans are astounding.  We should remember to appreciate this.  Humans are absolutely amazing when you think about it afresh.

Marko F,\nYes. I have had at least one of those. It was before I became Christian, and I was above my body for a few seconds, I could see/sense my body a foot or two below my spiritual body. \n\nYou know, some people might come to some other conclusion, but what it did for me, after I found out what the f' it was, was that there was no longer any doubt for me that there was a spirit living in me, my spirit.\n\nSo without that major block (for some) out of the way, I could then attempt to find out what it all meant. If there was more to life than what we could normally see, how much more was out there, and was there a purpose to it all, or and order to it all?\n\nYears later I became convinced that IF the Bible was true, I could pray a prayer and recieve an acceptance from God, who would otherwise be against me. And so I tried it when I was alone, and that was a VERY eventful thing! I don't know if I was in my body or not, but I ended up in a place where things were different than the dark bedroom that I was in. And there were others there too. I think that it was heaven, and it was a large enough place, I couldn't see God, but the peace was perfect, and the others were doing whatever they set out to do (I think that it didn't have anything to do with me.) I was there to witness heaven, but I don't know why, though I certainly am thankful for it. Who wouldn't be? lol\n\nI had flying dreams too. They were more like the type of flying that is portrayed in Peter Pan. Where the trees below were at arms reach at times, and there were others with me, not that I knew them. I also don't know where we were going.\n\nBut I am so glad to have been a part of those experiences. \n\nI hope that helped you.

Back in my wandering hippie days a busload of us crashed at an old house in Boulder Colorado.  One of the women awoke from a nap upstairs screaming, saying a little girl was trying to steal her body. \n\nOur host passed a couple of joints around and told the story of the original residents.  It seems their young daughter had died of typhoid, and they were in such denial of it that they just left her body to rot in her upstairs bedroom. Deprived of a proper burial, the girl's spirit never left the house.  The next owner had walled off the room, even going so far as to seal it with lead.  We were starting to have some fun with the story when there was suddenly a loud bang from the wall in question, causing a number of things to fall down.\n\nWe decided then to go out for ice cream, and we all slept downstairs on the living room floor that night.

I was in ther prescence of a person whom I suspect to have been very close to enlightenment.  She always was kind and wise.  She did not criticise others and seemed to be deeply genuinely happy.  Life did not seem to have the ability to shake her at all.  She was like a rock...others came to her for guidance or help or sometimes just to be in her prescence.\n\nShe probably didn't even have the word enlightenement in her vocabulary, she definitely would not claim to have been.\n\nShe just...was =)

Wow:  Thanks for the info about the DNA.  For those readers that wondered how the world comes into being without God creating what He alone is able and willing, such info as the DNA, let alone the rest of the whole complex of Created mass and masterpieces, it rests on this issue.  You see, you think, and you understand.  OR you see, and refuse to see, you think and you refuse to think, and you refuse to understand.  Part of that matter of Free choice.  The simple fact is, what you choose to believe is also part of the gift you were given in Creation.  You believe or not, and amazing, it gives you a part in the rest of the community.  There are adequate numbers of unbelievers, that will all affirm your faithlessness, just as there are adequate numbers of believers who will affirm your believe in pagan cult, just as there are adequate numbers of believers in Islam, or Christianity or any other form religion.  Numbers however, doesnt affirm factuallity.  Flat world theorists believe it.  Round world hanging in space believe it.  Sun circling the earth believers affirm it, as do earth circling the sun believers affirm their bit of observation.  \n   Did Noach go searching for the animals?  No, the Text says, according to Moses, affirming that GOd instructed him to write, that God caused the animals to come to the ark.  Noachs job was to build it and stock it with grain and grass, as all the animals would eat vegetarian while aboard, including Noach and family.  Is that possible?  Depends on how you view and believe.  Impossible for those who refuse to believe that GOD was involved.  Possible for those that choose to believe in such miracle process or natural process.   It is all amazing, no matter what you believe.  If you believe God created, thats amazing.  From my point of view thats acceptable.  What would be more amazing is to try to figure out how all this world in all its complexity came into being without a Creator God, since it is obviously more complex than any human can contrive.  Heck,,,we cant even create a blade of grass from nothing, let alone a human eye..or the rest of a human being.\n   The story of the group of scientists who were all working on a grand assignment, to duplicate life...and one day they all agreed, they had done it.  Accomplished the grand impossible,  they had developed a life form in a petri dish.   Eureka they shouted...we did it.  We dont need GOD any more.   THEN GOD SAID :  Now, try it without anything:  No dirt, no fire, no water, no air and no petri dish.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

A friend and I were allowed to have a rent free caretakers house that sat just inside an old cemetary in Maryland. It was the coolest old house and the cemetary was beautiful (as far as cemetary's go) Old! \n\nThings like ghosts, spirits and cemetaries have never made me afraid really so it was all good. \nAfter spending a late night out, I came home and decided just to lie across the sofa instead of going upstairs. The moon was very bright that night and had the room lit with shadows. We had a cat named Sam and he was downstairs with me as well. As we lay on the sofa suddenly the television had a glow on the screen and started making the static noises a t.v makes when its being either shut on or off. Sam took off up the stairs like a shot of lightening. It was strange but I really didn't feel anything like concern or fright. I still layed comfortably and soon closed my eyes but wasn't asleep. I then felt the sofa sink in right beside me as if someone sat down and of course I opened my eyes thinking it was Sam back. Nothing was there but there was an indent in the sofa as I ran my hand across feeling the weight of whatever was sitting next to me. The spot was cold. I then felt a slight burst of air on my face as if breathing but not warm like breath. Strange thing is, I wasn't afraid. It only lasted about a minute and stopped, the place on the couch went back to normal, a few seconds later the t.v stopped glowing and eventually Sam came downstairs.

At the age of nine, with a magic show gone horribly wrong (in my case) at a local Baptist church.  I had the numinous belief in the supernatural that all kids have through contact with such beliefs from the society they live in.  Then I saw a guy mystifying children with simple sleight of hand tricks and extrapolated from there, which I am sure wasn't what the pastor of the church intended at all.  It was a life changing moment, though I did not really know it.  I had decided to throw off the shackles of the mind that are required by religion and embraced logic, reason, and science as my "holy" trinity.

I had an out of body experience... I was hit by a drunk driver and was in a coma. I was clinically dead in that coma which lasted 22 days. \n\nI went through a tunnel and there was light at the other end... hence I was still alive after my death... hence... there is a God... and all the atheists will find that out when it is too late to do anything about it. One bows one's knee now before the God of creation... or one will be forced to make that bow later... in great fear and trembling.
