I used to have very odd occurrences in my early 20's. Absolutely nothing since until last week.
Woke up once with a hole in my navel among other things happening back then...
Okay. I think it was last Tuesday (my BF's day off) I needed a nap and fell asleep with no trouble at all. Only thing that had been on my mind is the
RVing I'm atttempting to do to find Caylee Anthony.
At some point I am pretty sure I was awakened (not completely but enough) by someone pressing rather hard on my left side.
It was hard, and I didn't wake up completely to it though...instead I rolled over and feigned sleep, thinking it was my BF trying to wake me up.
The first thought in my mind was NOT that it was my BF.
My very first thought...and I was aware of the thought so I know I was relatively awake...was "Oh no it's happening again."
No panic, no attempt to open my eyes...though I felt capable of doing so. I was awake enough to rationalize that it was my BF...rolled over and played
"dead" (I was being lazy and didn't want to get up...very very sluggish that day).
There were four distinct "jabs" on my left abdomen but it felt like someone pushing down with fingers (like when you're at the Doc and they do a
quick abdomen feel about...).
The pressure of the "jabs" was enough to be uncomfortable but not painful.
Then I felt something brush against my leg, after I rolled over.
I lay there for a few minutes. Listening for the sound of the door closing again (if my BF had come in he would have had to open the door and it
squeaks). Nothing.
By this point I'm wide awake and rolled onto my back. The door was still closed.
I tried pushing on my abdomen in the same spot, to see how hard one would have to push to create that same discomfort. And to see if it was possible
I'd just been pressing on my own belly while I slept (I was asleep on my back) and there is really no way it was me doing it without knowing I was
doing it.
I was pretty awake after the first poke and they were roughly a second or two apart at most. My right arm was above my head with my right hand behind
my head jammed under the pillow and my left hand was rested on my chest.
I suppose I could have pressed on my own belly but I'm pretty certain that I'd have been aware of it due to the discomfort I felt...
To be 100% honest I was totally unnerved and I'm not entirely sure why.
I has been almost what...15 years since anything "odd" happened while I slept. Why was my #1 thought that "it's happening again"?
It...sleep issues, night terrors, waking up bruised, waking with a hole in the navel, waking with clothes on the wrong way and all sheets stripped off
the bed..."odd" stuff.
I don't sleepwalk, never have. rarely have nightmares...
Anyway, I didn't ask my man right away about it. I didn't really want to know. I asked him several hours after I'd gotten up that day and he'd
said no. Then he asked why the heck he'd come in and jab me in the gut in the first place? he'd woken me up that way once before and accidentally
got punched...so he usually touches my foot at a safe distance. LMAO.
I wondered if it was one of the cats but they were both out in the living room with him. I was alone in the bedroom snoozing.
What I find disturbing is that this happened while I was in a near awake state. Alert enough to attempt to rationalize the feeling of being "jabbed"
and making a conscious decision to roll over and ignore it. I was awake enough to assume it was my BF. So why, while in this rational state, would my
very first thought be, "it's happening again."?????
It was a weird sensation...I felt sooooo tired, very sluggish. I felt like I could have opened my eyes...but still I figured why bother it's just the
man trying to wake me from my nap.
Might sound like nothing at all, but it's highly unusual the way it happened.
I don't think I'm explaining it well. I keep trying to figure out WHY it doesn't compute as "normal" when it should.
I was tired and didn't want to get up, dreamed I was being prodded and ignored it. That should be fine because it makes sense.
Except for the fact that I would not be able to press on my own dang abdomen while asleep and be able to feel it as though it was someone else doing
it right? Awake enough to feel being prodded with enough force to be uncomfortable, but asleep enough to be doing it myself???
it was the prodding feeling that caused me to start waking...so HOW can I be awake and aware of discomfort but NOT aware of who it is that's causing
it???. (Assuming that most skeptics including me will ask if it's possible I was pushing on my own gut and just not aware of it...)
This has been bothering me all week. There has been nothing remotely odd since this. All sleep normal.
Who was pushing on my abdomen? Who brushed my leg (downward from the knee and along the shin on the left leg)?
I didn't have the classic earmarks of sleep paralysis. (I could move and I did roll over, I did not have a wave of panic and did not feel "frozen"
or incapacitated at all) Just really really foggy and tired.
It wasn't a night terror or bad dream.
I was awake and alert enough to rationalize what it may have been and concluded it was my BF (which it was not, nor was it the cats)
By the time the second jab was occuring I was already awakened by the sensation of discomfort and felt the last two jabs.
I felt sooooo tired I just wanted to sleep and not get up
my first thought was "it's happening again" but it was so matter of fact with just a hint of dread/irritation. (kinda like when the toast falls jam
side down and you KNEW it was going to)
If you read this far, how about some input? Sorry it was long winded, it just bothers me that it's not making sense.
Maybe it was just gas?
:shk:
