I'm dreaming ....right?!

I am one of the lucky(unlucky) people in this world who has had the experience of waking up in the middle of the night and pretty clearly seeing things that are not supposed to be there. The first I was about 5 or 6; I can remember was 2 figures sitting at a table like they were having a conversation. I was on the couch and terrified. I called out ever so softly to relatives I thought it might be. No answer; so I pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep.

The second time was 10 and I saw a little miniature dinosaur skeleton sitting on my chest. I freaked out and threw my blankets off. Instead of going away this little bastard got back up, looked up at me with empty skull sockets and opened its mouth. So I ran to the light switch and it disappears.

The third and perhaps most terrifying time was a couple of years later. I woke up in the livingroom and went to go upstairs to my bed. Along the way I see a hooded figure standing in one spot doing something with one hand that was stretched out. All around this figure were these shadow people kind of crawling on the ground. I tip toed over these things and hauled ass upstairs to my bedroom and turned on the light.

Finally, a little more than a decade later I have awoken while in bed with my wife to find what I can only describe as a small gargoyle like creature crawing around the room. I woke up my wife the first time and asked if she could see it. She couldn't. The second time while it crawled over me I actually grabbed this motherfucker! I had my arms around it as it squirmed and struggled to get away! It disappeared to whence it came in the middle of our struggle.

Now I don't have these experiences too often. They occur very few and far in between but I wonder what the hell this is? "Experts" call them waking dreams. Simply visual, auditory hallucinations from neurons in the brain firing or misfiring or whatever.

Well if those are just dreams then so is everything else! More pondering on this maybe later.
