When my grandfather was still alive he slept with his eyes open.  Anyone do the same??

It's hard to believe that he slept with his eyes open. U have to blink and close ur eyes to keep them moist, otherwise they would dry out. I'm pretty sure there are VERY few people in the world that do that. In fact, I bet its near-to-impossible.

Yes, narcolepsy.  I'm not sure I spelled it right either, but I personal experience.  When you also mentioned driving I went  AH HUH!!!  Yep, you have what has been named over the years as "sleeping disease".  When you drive, watch TV, read, anything that relaxes your mind you go unconscious, but your eyes are still open!  Tell your girlfriend that its un-natural and that you are NOT on drugs.  I know this for a fact that my dad has it.  My mother noticed it when he was driving she would be talking to him while he was driving down the road and would realize that he "wasn't even listening to her" she would get SOOOO mad, just like your girlfriend!  Then he went to the doctors and was tested.  There are medications and ways to counter-act what is happening in your brain.  And no you aren't  ignoring your girlfriend either.  Tell her its OK, not to make a big deal out of it, lighten up and that YOU MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DOCTOR! It has been known about for decades.  I am 50 years old and my dad was diagnosed while I was a kid!  So I DO KNOW about the condition.  Its more a brain way/condition than a disease.  You don't catch it, you pass it to anyone, its genetic, and show her my answer ok?  If she has any other questions about it she can e-mail me     faysdaze1@verizon.net

So sorry to hear about your grandpa. I will pray for him.\n\nIt is one thing to not believe, but it is another to come and write hurtful and insulting things on this Question. If you do not agree, then please click your mouse and go away if having nothing other than respect for another human being.

i do it all the time!  \n\nthe people who think it's impossible are uniformed. \n\nclosing your eyes is the natural involuntary response, but when i was young i realised that i could voluntarily keep my eyes open. \n\nIt is possible, and i have had no ill effects from doing it.  I think it is a fun way to impress my friends.  They all think I'm weird, and i like it like that!

Many years ago, while I was in my late teens, I married a man my family hated. We lived in my uncles old house, no plumbing but we did have ele. One night, after putting my daughter ( 9 months old ) down for the night and going to bed myself I was awoken to a banging noise from my daughters room.  I went to her and cracked her doorway just a bit and found her sitting up in the middle of her crib laughing and babbling. Her crib had been moved from one side of the room to the other side, next to a window. I thought I was dreaming and couldn't understand how she had moved her crib. I moved it back . then I went back to bed only  to be woke up again about 30 mins. later  Again I found  my daughters crib on the other side of the room with her babbling and laughing. This went on for near 2 hours. Finally I was woken up with a voice telling me that I was hungry. And for me to get my baby and go get a hotdog. The third time this happened I got my daughter wrapped her in a blanket and started out the backdoor. My husb. was telling me that he would go get us some food and that we were to go back in the house.  By this time I'd had enough and wanted out of this house right then. I got in the car and refused to get out. My husb. had no choice but to get in  and drive us the half mile to the rest.. We went thru the drive thru aqnd went straight back. When we got to the begginning of our road the sky was lit up as if a ufo was above our house. The closer we got the more we could see what really was happening. Our house was burnt down to the cinder  blocks house. We had been gone only 20 min. The fire department, my uncle and aunt  were standing around crying because they thought me and the baby was inside.\n   If that voice hadn't woke me up when it had, we would've been inside.\n  To this date I firmly believe in ghost and Angels.

yes, i have had what i think is one, maybe two. About ten years ago, i was missing my best friend who had been killed in a car accident. I was at her grave site, and i begged her to give me a sign she was somewhere. At that precise moment, unknown to me, her house, where her husband and child still lived, burnt to the ground. So, i think a demon answered my question, not her. Be very careful what you ask for, you might not like the results. Something weird happened to me two nights ago. My husband and children were all in bed asleep around midnight and i was up reading. I shut off all the lights and started to our bedroom when i realized our light was on.  Immediatly i thought my husband was sick and had turned the light on. As i walked toward this room, the light clicked off. I continued and opened the door and got into bed. I reached over and shook my husband to ask what was wrong and he had been asleep! I did not dream this and there is no way he had time to get back to bed even if he had switched the light off. He said I woke him up when i came to bed. Either he is lying and can move with superhumam speed or something else was in there. Talk about being a little nervous these days! Let me know if i can help you. Reach me at lorilynn2u@yahoo.com.

My grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday a year ago. His health had not been good, and he passed away just before his 91st birthday, a few weeks ago. We were all grateful that we took the opportunity on his 90th birthday to tell him how important he was to us. Everyone wrote a letter to him, and we put them into a scrapbook with photos of the letter writer and grandpa. We had a huge dinner and then sat together to read the letters. We put a stool next to grandpa and each person took their turn to sit beside him and read their letter out loud. We all cried, but we all laughed, too. Most of us mentioned his love of singing, and one uncle had an old cylinder recording of grandpa converted to a CD. We listened to grandpa as a thirty or forty year old singing 'Strawberry Roan." Midway through the song, my grandfather began singing along. It was a magical moment.\n\nWe're now planning my grandmother's 90th birthday party.

Why do you have this obsession with weird sleep habits? (I just answered another of your questions regarding sleep.) Sleeping with your eyes open would be bad, since your eyes could dry out. As for sleeping standing up, I doubt that would be very good either.

I check my alarm clock like 6 times before I can sleep then I wake up to recheck it. Same with the doors. Then after i've done this enough to wake my husband up I lay awake and worry about it and try not to move. Drives the poor man crazy!

well here's what my dad used to do...\n\nat 7.30 in the morning he would walk into our bedroom, past our beds, open the curtains so the blinding sunlight fills the room, then on his way out he'd rip our blankets off and throw them on the floor. \n\nI can't say we wern't  pissed when he used to do that in the mornings but i'll never forget it.

First of all I want to say I am sorry for the loss of your father, It is always very difficult to lose someone so dear to us.\n\nI would like to share with you this really amazing experience I had  a few years ago.  I awoke from my sleep,  and from the early morning light in the bedroom I could tell it was about 4:30 in the morning.  I remember seeing the bedroom door and the dresser from where I was laying in my bed, my bf was sleeping beside me, I could hear him breathing.  \n\nThen all of a sudden this man's form gradually appeared beside my bed!  I remember being a little frightened at first, but at the same time feeling rather strange and ab it curious,  I remember looking at his face and noticed that his eyes were black and piercing, he looked a little curious himself but I would not say he looked happy or friendly, he was just staring right at me.  I noticed that he was wearing a checkered shirt, and that he seemed like a  big man.\n\nIt was within a few seconds that we were just staring intently at each other, when I ever so slightly tried to nudge my bf to wake him up.....the split second that I did that I noticed that this apparition's eyes darted over to my sleeping bf, he than quickly drizzled away right before my very eyes!\n\nI woke up my bf and jumped up and turned the lights on.   I explained everything that had just happened in detail.  \n\nHe said it may have been the man that had just died a year before of cancer, and  that he lived in the suite below. (it was a 3 level house that was a rental, and he was the owner that lived on the main level with his wife).   \n\nThis has never happened to me again, I have never been visited  by this person since than.\n\nI believe that your father knows how much you love him and that he watches over you like an Angel.  I believe that our loved ones that go before us just know how much we loved and cared for them.  \n\nAs to your question "is it possible to make contact with the dead"?  I suppose it is possible, but I would be very careful, because I have also been taught that while trying to make contact you can also open up the channels for bad spirits to enter into your life as well.\n\nTake care and remember God comforts those that mourn, and that he is always there for you all you have to do is call on him.\n\nGod bless you and your family

I still feel that sometimes, and my grandfather died 20 years ago.  If you had a strong bond, it's normal.  Either that or we both are crazy.

Yes, I was living in a two-story house in WV. I was sleeping in the attic after some reading and something went by the light that startled me I said who's there no one answered. I notice my closet door quack open a little so I looked inside and saw two red glowing eyes looking right at me, so I close the closet door and went to my dad and we went back to my room and he open the closet door anw and shined a flashlight at that spot and that red glowing eyes vanish until he turned off the flashlight and it was back again.We went donwstairs and we looked at each other thinking we were crazy.Another was me and my mother was in the kitchen ,she was writing letters and I was washing dishes and we heard something strange sound coming from the wall next to the stove and followed the sound to only hearing breathing and seeing the wall in and out as if someone or something was presant. I got out of there. The every last time I was in the kitchen and mom and dad was in the livingroom watching tv and the wall started up and this time my dad came into the kitchen and this time the wall breath to "GET OUT" 3x's like that, the hairs all over stood on end I shaken all over and could't stay anymore in that house. Moved away to new location felt better and one New Year Eve I went with a friend to the store and I decided to see if that house was still there as I looked up this thing was greyish/white all over and the same red glowing eyes looking at me, I shaked again and my friend came out and came over were I was looking at this thing and it scared her too.I didn't believe in stuff like this now that has change.

I grew up with a alcoholic father who was physically and mentally abusive. One night he went at it with my mother.......i was so scared. That night my mom decided to sleep downstairs ans being her protector i slept right by her side. As i lay there in the dark unable to sleep while everyone else slept.....I silently prayed that my mother would be safe from any actions of my father and I prayed GOD would keep us protected. As I started to close my eyes I looked over into the diningroom and standing there was the most beautiful angel!!!. I first thought i was imagining it so I closed my eyes and reopened them and still it was there. I have never felt such peace and calm as I did at that moment. I never told anyone what I saw, but from that time on I knew God was going to keep us safe and i never felt that kind of fear from my father again. GOD is indeed good!!!

My grandfather inspired me. He was retired and he came out of retirement to support me and my sister otherwise we would have ended up in foster care he always took care of us.

My grandmother told me she had back eyes that even if her back was turned she could see what I was doing. And even when I was in school and had got in trouble she would say whe knew I got in trouble because she saw it with her back eyes. This question brought me back to my childhood for a minute I forgot all about my grandmother and her back eyes until you asked!
