Dream invading spirits?

Since I'm moving stuff over from my old Xanga account to my new blogspot for dreams, I decided to post this entry on here since I feel it was more than a dream.

(August 26, 2004)

The first 'Dream' : I remember someone was trying to either threaten or convince me about something (or both) in a dark dingy place.
Then suddenly someone said "Oh yeah? Look at your cat!"
I then really DID wake up and looked at the foot of my bed where my cat was sleeping, suddenly he mumbled and growled in his sleep, and ran out of my room with a hiss. I spent the rest of the time with my blankets wrapped around me until sunrise it scared me so bad... then they came back.

The second 'Dream': This time I felt it more than heard it. I was scared and something made me wake up. I'm not even sure this one was a dream. But I woke up and the feeling of something... bad... was outside my windows.
Then I heard Drumming... three beats, pause... three beats... pause...
it continued until about four in the morning. My cat (strangely) stayed by my side and stared at the window with his ears flat.

There was a week or so in between these events... Nothing's happened since... but I can't be sure that it's finished.
If it does happen again I'll probably have my room blessed, that's the only idea I have. I'm wondering if I've got some ticked off spirit after me... though I can't think of any reason why I'd have ticked one off.
I do have a little 'sensitivity' when it comes to ghosties, but it's never been anything more than a glimpse or a chill... with exceptions I guess.

Beginnings

So this is the first 'official' post for this particular blog of mine.
This crazy little chunk of cyberspace is to be dedicated to my own paranormal experiences and/or hallucinations (No drugs or drinking here... but there's plenty of insanity due to my mother's contribution to my genetics).

I never really had any of these experiences as a child. If I did, It's mostly been blocked out. Though there was a point in time where I refused to go into my room because there was a giant spider in front of my closet.
The problem with this 'spider'?
Well, for one, It was about as big as I was.
And for another, it "wasn't really there" according to my parents, and indeed, as soon as the lights in the room went on, the vision of the giant creature vanished... until the lights went out again.
It was a long evening for everyone.

Nothing else out of the ordinary happened until I was in my teens.
It was a church group for young teenage girls. I was never one for religious events. Even back then.
It was a fireside night (literally by the campfire), we were all huddled, tired, freezing, and supposed to be 'feeling the spirit'.
I was waiting for them to give up on EVERYONE bearing their testimony, just wanting my sleeping bag.
Of course, I was also the only one NOT sobbing at the oh-so-touching promenade.
So somehow, I was the only one who noticed what was going on above the mountainscape across the lake from us.
It was starting to get cloudy out (we would later that night be roused out of our tents by a very sudden storm), but everything was calm.
The only sounds around were the sniffles of the other girls and the popping of the campfire.
I was bored to death and watching the scenery so I wouldn't have to meet expectant gazes from the leaders.
Suddenly, a bright green light dropped down out of nowhere over the mountain top directly across from us.
It zipped back and forth silently and smoothly, then after a second that seemed to last forever, zipped off and disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared in the first place.
The rest of the night I spent trying to reason with myself about what I saw. Maybe a firework? Well.. no... none would move around like that above a mountain top for that long.
Ball lightning? ...perhaps... I wasn't exactly familiar with the nature of such an oddity.
Aliens?? This idea I just didn't try to think about. I was miles away from home with oblivious religious strangers.
To this day, I'm not sure what it was that I witnessed all alone. And I've never really heard of Bear Lake being a hotspot for alien sightings... but then, there's rumors of a lake monster in it... so why not aliens or something along those lines?

Moved from other blog

This picture is one I scrawled three years ago, of something I saw crawling around my room.
As I wrote for the description of this when I put it up in my DA gallery:

"They were in my room last night. The only one I got a clear look at was the one on my windowsill, but there were more crawling along my walls. I couldn't see it's bottom half... they were like ghosts.. but weren't...
They didn't seem very threatening... but damn they were unnerving. I've never seen anything like them.
...don't hurt yourself trying to decipher my handwriting.... "

Now why am I bringing up something I saw three years ago?
Because I'm seeing this weird crap again. Only it's different this time.
Instead of an 'animal' like being I noticed that night I keep 'seeing' something that resembles a squirming barnacle on my ceiling above my bed.
And unlike  the creatures mentioned above, this thing is always there if I focus on the spot. And it scares the crap out of me. I feel like it's something that's 'feeding' on me somehow. Perhaps it's the source of the increase in bad dreams lately, or the constant pouring on of bad luck... maybe all the illnesses I seem to be getting too? (Just wild guesses here. But I'm usually not terrified of something for absolutely no reason.)
I try finding information on how to deal with it, but there's nothing. So either I'm strangely alone in my insanity (Something rather bizarre for the internet), or no one likes to talk about it.
I'm debating looking into ways to 'cleanse' my room spiritually. Maybe have a blessing put on my room and some smudging just to cover all the bases.

It's odd though. With the few people that said they see stuff like the 'whale creatures' I saw before, you'd think there was SOMETHING about them out there.

Here's to another (probably) sleepless night.
