Yesterday I was exhausted because I don't sleep all that well - ever.So I went to take a nap and I crawled into bed and was very comfortable.
I was somewhere between being asleep and awake, I guess, but I thought I was awake. I was laying on my side with my eyes closed and I was very aware of everything around me.
I felt someone sit at the edge of the bed but I couldn't move or open my eyes
And then there was a hand on my shoulder and he started rocking me back and forth and it was so soothing. I could "see" even though I knew my physical eyes were still actually closed. And I still couldn't move myself but I wasn't alarmed by this.
I heard my dog barking at something downstairs and and the person "shhhhh'd" in my ear when I started getting agitated at the barking and just rocked me until I relaxed again. I was just enveloped and washed over with a comfortable peace.
So, I suppose some people call this sleep paralysis or something but has anyone experienced something like this? I have in the past but it's been a little while. Sometimes scary and sometimes not.
