We're usually exhausted by 8-9pm. I've also been having weird dreams, and an extreme overshare...

I'm very firmly an atheist. I don't believe in afterlife, ghosts, etc.

however...

We moved into this house just over a year ago. Over the past few months (moreso, now), there have been at least 10 times I've woken up to what I thought was the figure of a child next to me, either standing next to the bed or in the hallway (my side faces the door the room, so straight down the hall when I wake up).

Early this morning, I was (I thought) 95% awake, but laying on my stomach with my eyes still closed, and decided to push myself up and roll over to get my phone from next to the bed.

I *swear* there was a child there, looking away from me down the hall. 3 feet tall, with somewhat of a bowl cut hair, in suspenders. I literally did a doubletake and of course there was nothing there.

I don't think it's anything bad (like I'm not afraid or fearful), but it is definitely a bit unnerving that it has happened quite a lot (to me).

So, I'm going to be Agent Scully for a sec. It's really really really common to hallucinations within 30 minutes of waking up. -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 21, 12:26 7
- Yeah, like I said, I'm 100% sure it's nothing, but it's definitely unnerving for a second or so. - JaxSean Apr 21, 12:57 1
  - I was freaked out a lot by the cat paws, so it was a relief to learn about it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 13:03
- One of my friends has a specific hallucination called Exploding Head Syndrome. - loosilu Apr 21, 12:42 4
  - Hmm. I can hear a small sound but as I was not expecting it the result is it hits me like a shot, oftentimes causing the jump. Main reason I wear ear - Spawn Apr 21, 12:51 3
    - Ear plugs wouldn't stop a hallucination (unless it's a placebo?) -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 12:54 2
      - Ah, true. I think what happens is in the silence, my hearing turns up to max levels trying to hear something. Then an actual sounds overwhelms me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 12:56 1
        
        or you have EHS! which sounds a lot more fun. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 12:57
That (first sentence) must be nice. I am sleeping 3am to 8am these days. Well, I fight to get out of bed for an hour, but still. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 12:25 4
- I fall asleep between 2 and 3, typically wake up 2 or 3 times and then drag my ass out of bed around 7:30 -- nm - decline Apr 21, 12:54
- I am sleepy at 9 sometimes, but then I wake up at 3. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 12:35 1
  - I've been doing this a lot. sleep 9-2 or 3 am, up for a few hours, get a few more hours sleep. It's a horrible rhythm. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 12:58
- I'm usually 10-4, sometimes more like this AM I got up at 7 -- nm - mud Apr 21, 12:29
