Girlfriend gone crazy...

Nothing to worry about. I have had short conversations about some pretty weird stuff with people who had their eyes open but were obviously still asleep and had no recolection of it.. I know what you mean by creepy though. Nothing to worry about, at least nothing a priest could cure, of coures besides helping your wallet slim down, I don't think that priest cure anything

I think it's funny that some people are taking shots at my post
suggesting it may be related to Ambien or anxiety medication-
MILLIONS of Americans take them- they are often prescribed
after a person has quit smoking- and the side effect-
as REPEATED by DefCon's post- is somnbulism- sleep walking.

However she has gotten to the sleep walking state- through
prescibed drugs or some other mechanism- is what the author
needs to research- he needs to ask his girl if she recently saw a doctor.

The original poster presented a problem.

I have experienced the EXACT symptoms personally and with friends.

The behaviour is sleep-walking- somnbulism- either catalyszed by drugs or
a natural trigger.

Anyone who thinks this is far-out or irresponsible,
or should be diluted with grains of salt,
simply never experienced such a thing,
and therefore, judge it as dismissable.

If it happened to you, you would feel a bit different.

To both the original poster and poster 590 with the girlfriend with the knife-
the very best of luck resolving these problems-
you deserve a good, quiet night's sleep.

My ex used to raise her arms up while sleeping and light rub them with her finger tips. At first it creeped me out but then I tried a few things....

One being touching the arm she was rubbing.....that caused her to actual switch to rubbing the other arm.

Some times ahe would sit up and have an actual conversation with me then fall back asleep not remebering anything......

My dad takes ambien and he can play chess on the computer and hold a conversation with you and not remember anything about it the next day.

This is not uncommon nor is it weird.. In fact, night tremors (not nightmares!) run in my wife's family. (typically going away after childhood.) I got to see this first hand in my 2 y.o. son. He would be in his daybed in the middle of the night and start screaming, yelling, calling out to us etc.. We would (obviously!) get to him as quickly as possible and see that he is sitting (sometimes standing) with his eyes wide open. We would look at him and try to call him down telling him "it's ok, we're here" but he would continue to scream. Fact is, he is still sound asleep. We would have to pick him up and shake, bounce him, etc. (I am talking gently, not like those idiots who "shake" their babies!!) to wake him up. He generally blinks real quick and then cuddles up to whichever one of us is holding him... After talking with my mother in law, we realized that my wife to used to have these tremors and they can be quite scary to see if you don't know what you are looking at..
Second point... Sleepwalking.. My father is as active sleepwalker and I have literally been in a hallway and have him walk right by me with eyes wide open.. Yes again he is sound asleep. None of this is abnormal, uncommon, or weird..
Be advised, there are no demons possessing her. You do not need to call a priest for an exorcism and you don't have to leave her.. It's no big deal!!

if i was you, i would head for the hill palsy.

im suprised you guys believe, me, I thought I was going to get people calling me a liar and such, I appreciate the support very much. I used to be an Atheist until around the same time these things started happening. My father is a Atheist so I never went to church, but recently in the past year I started reading the bible and praying more. I then would begin to pray to protect our room from"Brian". (who I think is a demonic entity, if there is such a thing) Sometimes while she being choked (she has been choked on more than one occasion) I would pray and it would actually work and she would be able to breathe.

Another instance of Brian was when I was awoken by my GF who said she saw Brian through the window and he was looking at her. I didnt know what to believe but I consoled her and was a bit creept out. Anyway, after consoling her for awhile with the lights out I turned to her and she started to scream, she said my face was not mine it was Brians and at that same INSTANT her cell phone rang with a message, it was just a bunch of jumbled numbers. (she deleted it without showing me the phone) I was going to write down the numbers, maybe it was a clue to something. But that night, her and I did not sleep in the room, we both took our stuff and slept in the livingroom. I left her cell phone in the room because it creeped me out, I left it on my computer desk, the next morning when I opened my bedroom door, the cell phone had moved to the center of the bed. I was FREAKED out.

Has anyone had similiar experiences? I know my GF isnt crazy, I think she has a Psychic ability to tap into another world. (like being able to connect with spirits) Also she has the ability to know what I did that day, for example I had a conversation with someone earlier in the day and she asked about that conversatio and said "Why did that person say so and so". Like she was able to read what I did that day. Weird...

I think its her sensitivty to spirits thats why she is being attacked by this one for some reason.

One morning she told me "Aww honey you were so sweet last night kissing me like that all around my neck" and I said "Honey I didnt kiss you around your neck while you were sleeping..." Weird... This Brian spirit is upset with her about something, I dont know why or what.

I am glad there is a community where I can talk freely about these things and get input, thanks guys.

Also to the one poster said that she would kill me, I know she wouldnt. I almost had a heartattack when I found out she had that kitchen blade in the bed, I was thinking to myself she could have stabbed me and I would have been dead. Scary... now I am more alert...

Perhaps you should find someone that deals with these things on a more or less regular bases. A medium of sorts? There is something going on that is very negative, as I am sure you've realized, and if you are not around, and "brian" is, you may come home to something very unfortunate.
To the OP, the suggestions I've read are very good, as per asking about medications, seeing a sleep specialist, ect..
I have one even simpler.. See if she'd be willing to change sides..
I know that I have issues with sleep paralysis on occassion, and what stops it is changing my sleeping postition.
Also, my mother is a great one for having conversations with while she is asleep. I found that out early on, and would ask her permission for things tha I knew she would not agree to while fully awake, and get it when the spirit was talking, (a family joke, she would always say, that wasn't me, it was some spirit, you should have asked it for a lottery number).
And then there would be the times when she would ask me to do something completely outrageous, Like telling me to go to a store, even telling me where the store was, and buy some weird thing. Mind you, the location was real, but the store and the item were figments of her imagination.
And of course, she never remembered a simgle thing about it.

Yes your situation with your mother sounds similiar to mine as well, but I have seen proof of an attacking. With the red marks around her neck, like something was choking her. I have never believed in demons or bad spirits, but after the past year, I believe it because I have seen it. Im lucky that I havent been attacked, I think its because I cant tap into that world because she is sensititve. I tried to take pictures of her while she is in a trance or talking to Brian in her sleep or standing up in her bed, nodding like agreeing to something someone is saying to see if I can catch a spirit on film, but nothing.


Nothing has ahppened to her while she is at home except she told me that on one occassion she was in the bathroom doing her hair and the door was completly closed and the handle started to turn, she thought it was me, but I wasnt home, I was still at work. First she thought I was playing a joke on her but I told her I was at work.

hmmmm

definately sounds like she is suffering from a very rare Russian disease that only infects females...

I would suggest that you yourself might want to start sleeping with your eyes open because this disease can have disastrious results for the mates of the females that contract this disease.

Dude, that is frickin' crazy!

If i was you i would call a priest to the house pronto.

You guys are cracking me up. This poor guy is probably more freaked out than ever. I still don't think the OP's girlfriend is possesed, just sleep walking.

my other half and little girl do weird stuff when their alseep, my wife often sits up and stares at me like she's awake but she's asleep, she even talks to me in her sleep and we can have small conversations

my daughter sleeps with her eyes open, its really weird, i never know if she's awake or asleep

Some people hear do not know anything about sleeping disorders. I probably have the craziest sleeping disorder than anyone discribe hear. Except, for the fact that your gf is possess. The negative entity is trying to kill her, so that he can torment her spirit when she is dead and will trap her from moving to her next place.

I read and study a lot about possession and believe it or not you gf is at the early stages of possession. Holy water or the crucifix will only make the possession worst. Seek a experiance exorcist. Stop it before it gets worst. You can do exorcisms yourself, but I don't recommend it. You have to get her to renounce the devil and use Gods name and order the devil out. Say i"n the name of God and Jesus Christ I command you leave her body and never return". Stab her lightly with the holy bible. Again get a professional because if you fail the first time the devil will get mad and stronger.

Belive me I had a friend that was possess and a shaman did the exorcism and it's something you will never forget, but that is another story no one would believe. There are many type of exorcist, for example a shamen (uses spiritual powers to cast spirits out) or a train exorcist (uses God to cast the spirit out).

As for the people who die from exorcisms that is because doctors proscribe them antipsychotic pills. This blocks out a certain part of the brain, but does not cure it, only paralize it. Do not take antipsychotic pills because it would counter the exorcism effect. That is the reason people die because exorcisms takes a lot of energy from the victim. If you take medication than the exorcism doesn't work and could eventually kill the victim if continue constantly.

Plus, as they say if u can't cast the devil out the first time, it comes back ten times stronger. And believe me you don't want to witness it.

As far as the story of the girlfriend staring at the guy on the computer, it's my opinion that typing away at the computer and playing music is disturbing her sleep. I also sleep light and occasionally have been known to talk in my sleep. I thought talking in my sleep would wake me up if I did it too much but I found out one day in college that is not the case.

Apparently I kept telling my college roomate the same words one night. I kept telling him to "Get Out." He asked me about it and said he was arguing that was not fair since he paid half the rent etc. etc. He didn't realize I was asleep. He said he was wondering when he heard me mumble something and then not say anything. I didn't remember anything. Then on a different day he said he heard you can have a complete and coherent conversation with someone who talks in their sleep. Then he told me that was true and wouldn't tell me what he talked about while I was sleeping.

I remember one morning I was sleeping and for some odd reason I seemed to suddenly sense a presence and swiftly rolled over in bed raising my fist up really fast and stopped it about 1/2 inch away from someone (one of my roomate friends) who was thinking about playing a joke on me. He didn't try that again. I was just glad I didn't knock him out and break his nose because I was asleep before he approached my bed.

I do believe sleep problems run in families because even though I sometimes talk in my sleep, I don't believe I walk in my sleep. I remember hearing stories about my brothers. My older brother told me one scary story of one of his sleep walking episodes. He got out of bed. He got his gun out of the top drawer of his dresser. He took the safety off and then got out some ammo and loaded it up. I think he said he had something locked up as well and he unlocked it. Then he apparently aimed at the door and fired. The noise woke him up. To sum things up, he doesn't watch any movies late at night where he might decide to fight it out. He doesn't want to accidently shoot his wife or give her a black eye and have to claim he was sleep walking. In comparison, I think I came out lucky by just talking in my sleep.

I don't know if I have been sleeping with my eyes open or not. I know I have fallen asleep reading stories here on ATS/BTS before. Time really flies when that happens.

As far as the incident with the girl with the knife, I would definitely seek help in that case.

Yes, when I was refering to my mother, I was talking to the original poster, or OP. I have u2u'd you, because what is happening with your GF does concern me.

I have found the solution, stop making noise while your girlfriend is trying to sleep!

I know this IS NOT my man? I'll kill him! Same thing going on here with him and I. Its 'creeping' him out too because I have always not been able to sleep. Suddenly, sleep comes too easy.

But recently, Im aways woken up to to him doing the very thing the poster is doing... shaking me, a mean tone... saying Im trying to drive him crazy... you scare me!

I recently dropped off any and all meds. No more Drs. Going back to a more ancient way of treating my mind body and soul. So, maybe that is why *I* am doing this very exact same thing. Did she recently drop off of Zoloft or any other SSRI? MAO inhibitor?

But the poster is accurate in his description: For me at least, it started about a week ago but the first time I was just sitting up in bed looking towards the TV. My husband says he said 'hunny, I wish you would just go to sleep', expecting a Ha! Dont we all. He got nothing.

Thats where it began but now it isnt the TV, it is him I am fixed on but either is equally as creepy to him. SO weird I pop on and find this. I had to post right away... havent even read the thread!

Are we crazy? No, just asleep. I just write it off as Zoloft no more. My husband writes it off as maybe I need to 'see someone'. Im not acting consciously so what would seeing someone do?

He can sleep in the yard if I scare him that bad. It isnt like we can hep it. We dont like knowing we scare our lovers. That makes me, and probably her, very sad.

EDIT TO ADD:

You said upon waking she is as sweet as she can be, sweeter than even her normal self. Well, I tend not to cry. I just dont let me go there. However, when I wake like this... I bust out into tears and sob. Until I 'come to' enough to start HEARING what is being said, to realize my being is consious. Then, I go calm as I am now as if nothing happened because I am freaked myself over the emotion.

If this is Jeff... you had better be scared!!! (My husband)

Sleep with one eye open punkin hehe

If I wanted to, I could creep someone into pure insanity. Thats how I use to get rid of BF's so keep that in mind. Tell someone they are going to get in a wreck, then their mind is blown when it happens. Some people just dont listen... until the second time you tell them. Then, they are believers.

[edit on 3-12-2006 by Little One]

There could be numerous reasons for the behavior of your girlfriend, but based on what you describe I don’t think it very likely that demons is one of them (though I do believe in demon possession). You have described this as a new occurrence, and that the only tangible difference in your lives is that you have both quit smoking.
Nicotine withdrawal can cause numerous physiological responses and it is quite common that in the first week or two the body goes through very disturbed periods, particularly at night. This is not only a result of the nicotine but also from the numerous added chemicals and poisons which are slowly being flushed from the system. Increasing water and juice intake as well as physical activity during this period may help to alleviate some of these symptoms and accelerate the dispersion of accumulated toxins.

That there appears to be a common time of wakefulness may simply be a result of your partners individual sleep cycle. We each have a pattern comprised of 5 sleep stages that go in cycles throughout the night. It is in the switch from particular stages that we sometimes find ourselves disturbed by a dog barking, a car driving past, rain on a roof etc. In the case of your girlfriend it may be simply the sound of you tapping on the keyboard or the music which is disturbing her. It is also possible to develop a habitual sleep disturbance pattern, just as it is possible to develop the internal alarm clock.

Another factor to consider could be the psychological. You state that you have been together for a year, and from your account it does not sound as if night time hours spent on the computer were a habit prior to the nicotine withdrawal. Allowing for that, you have brought a new behavior into the relationship and this in turn might cause feelings of uncertainty etc in your partner and affect security. Insecurity in turn can cause stress which often results in disturbed sleep patterns.

Based on what you have described IMHO I do not think there is any need to worry unless the behavior continues. If it continues beyond 10 days I would be seeking medical intervention and requesting an EEG as there are over 70 types of seizures, including rare types present nocturnally so epilepsy should be ruled out as a cause if the episodes continue. In the meantime factors that you could try to alleviate the problem could be turning of the computer before the time she usually awakens, reading in another room, even moving the computer to another room altogether, or perhaps trying to develop a healthier sleep pattern in yourself so that you and your partner are in bed together. Spending time reassuring your partner throughout the day may also promote a more secure feeling in her.

Either way I wish you luck with the situation and I hope that you continue to persevere with the quit program. Best of luck to you both.

Burn i think your girlfriend is something like a receiver,she receives messages from something that her concious mind cant comprehend.i hope that this something is of good nature.
