I was thinking due to your numerous uneasy feelings waking up and thinking your jacket was someone standing in your room, that subconsciously it was becoming engrained in the back of your mind. It could have played a role in creating an image of this being playing on the color of your jacket. (I can't tell from the picture but is your jacket blue?). Although you felt you overcame your startling fear of seeing your jacket, subconsciously the fear was still their and it came out in the form of an intense dream.
That being said, you sound credible and I'm not trying to say what you saw was all in your mind. Just thought I would throw out what I was thinking when I was reading your experience. Do you think this could be a possibility?
I couldn't make out the small circles spaced apart on your sheets. Maybe the photo doesn't show enough detail.
I hope you can find an answer for this. I know I or anyone else would probably have the same trouble sleeping if we were in your shoes.

Fear is like a VIRUS. It transfers from person to person and grows STRONGER as it does so. It is also a greater threat than any actual physical harm that could come to you. I have seen a person so permeated with fear that they were less afraid of DYING than FACING THE ONCOMING FEAR.
Everyone is afraid of something....with me....it is Tornados....and Roage Waves....as I feel there is nothing I can do about them....and for the most part it is true....but your chances of survival are a hell of alot better confronting anything that scares you in a calm collective thinking manner....than in a manner of being paralized by your fear.
Besides....whats the worst thing that can happen? Everybody dies. It is just how and when and how a person faces it. Once you accept this....alot of things you thought you could or would never try to do...become possible and even sometimes....ENJOYABLE! KICK THIS THINGS ASS! Split Infinity

I was going to say sleep paralysis, but you were able to move and open your eyes right up until a certain point, so it probably wasn't that, and since your wife heard you and woke up, i assume she saw you sitting up on the bed.
If you see the coat there you get used to it, and you know what it looks like. I have no doubt that you saw what you did, of course it could have been something to do with your brain being half asleep and half dream state, but i mean, if it happens again, document it, and do not be afraid this time and talk to it, see if it talks back.
Try meditation, and try to contact it that way if you believe that he meant no harm, if he did you would be hurt, and im sure they were contacting you for a reason, i wish i would bee a benevolent alien ,
So many questions
so little ETs to ask.

LS....I wouldn't worry or be afraid of the GHOST....it's the LIVING that create problems!
Some people believe in Ghosts....some do not. I am not religious but I have seen some things...by way of my job...that will make a person question EVERYTHING that they have ever believed or built their concept of the Universe upon.
Don't be afraid if it is a Ghost...it was just a person like me or you....either in a state of limbo or simply a RECORDING of an action that replays every so often.
If what is effecting you is of a LIVING nature. There are ways to handle or discourage just about anything alive. The first step to taking control of the problem is to LOOSE YOUR FEAR and identify the problem.
If you find out that it has anything to do with E.T....unless you are prepared to do something drastic....you are pretty much screwed.

I wish I could dream.
That is a lot of details to notice in such a short time frame.
Only 1 eye adjusting after immediately coming out of a deep sleep, and even closing it again, and then reopening. A room that receives a small amount of light coming from outside, and through the blinds. All of that occurred within 10-15 seconds, and you were able to make out all of those fine details, yet you are leaning more toward the conclusion that you were awake, and not still in dreamland?
[color=EBFAFF]What I am most curious about, is why you would guess an age, and also what was it that caused you to determine that the age was probably 45 years?
First thought that comes to my mind, regarding the age of something that is not human, is thinking about animals. I have been around dogs my entire life, yet if an unfamiliar dog walks up to me, I cannot tell you how old is, and I would not even try. That is an animal that I am very familiar with. If a kangaroo came hopping through my backyard, "I wonder how old he is" would be one of the furthest questions from my mind.
[color=EBFAFF]An interesting story, nonetheless.
sounds like you conditioned yourself inadvertently, even hypnotized. You were dreaming and your mind was playing tricks on you. The mind has an impish nature; it likes scaring others and itself

I was lying down on my stomach with my face looking to the right in the direction of my wardrobe. Just about every time i wake up in the middle of the night I get a scare because of the way I hang my jacket on my wardrobe door and the display pillows that I put on my side dresser at night. While my eyes are adjusting it can look like someones standing there next to my bed and i get a fright and then I quickly realise that its just my jacket and pillows again. After the last few months i have gotten used to this so it doesn't really faze me much anymore.

I'm not saying you're crazy but, as evidence of what I'm saying, the mind has gotten out of hand with people who are.

It was not a Ghost. I have seen a Ghost before as i explained in my other reply to your previous post. I was a bit afraid when i saw the Ghost, but nothing compared to when i saw this thing. It scared the living daylights out of me. This was a real physical being but not of this world. Seeing the Ghost of another human I can comprehend in some way as I have seen so many humans before. But this thing. If only you knew. I can't get its face out of my head.

After seeing this, I kinda wish i was crazy and that it was all just a dream or something like that. I really do. But as much as i try to dismiss this, i just can't. It happened, it was real and i still can't explain it or comprehend it.
Sleep paralysis sounds unbelievable. You wake from sleep. As you lie in bed, you feel like someone is standing over you in the darkness. You try to move your head only slightly to take a subtle glance, but you can't. Someone -- something -- is surely holding you down. You attempt to struggle, to thrash your arms and legs, but you are frozen in place. Sheer panic washes over you as your paralysis lingers.
Though this may sound all too unreal, sleep paralysis is indeed a very real experience.
You try to move your head only slightly to take a subtle glance, but you can't.
He said he did raise his head at first. The inability to move, supposedly occurred a short time after. Wouldn't that particular detail completely rule out sleep paralysis?

As i said this i slowly started to raise my head and look up
I never said that I don't believe, that you believe what you saw. No need to repeat your own certainty. I was merely asking a couple questions.
......You don't have to believe or not. But ill tell ya bro. Straight up, I saw this and i swear on everything my life i saw it. Pretty sure it wasnt a dream even though i wish it was a dream......
This still seems illogical to me. If you look at any living creature, and are positive that "this was not a human", then why would you immediately compare it to a human and guess it's age?
Because this thing didn't look like a kid or teenager and it didn't look like an old man when comparing its look to a human. That is the best i could describe it. In human years if you were to take a guess, 40 - 45.
