Two or three nights ago, I was laying in bed. There was a dim light from the hall, and I saw a round black blob up by my light which was off. I turned on my light, and it disappeared, but when I turned my light off, it came back. It kind of reminded me of the black figure that leaned out from my sister's kitchen, and watched me walk down her hall. I'm always seeing things, so it didn't bother me, but as always I ask for a white light of protection.
I keep dreaming about large, strange buildings and houses ... many times, they're haunted; every time, the structures are super detailed, and I sense myself smelling and feeling them. These covid-era anxiety dreams are no joke. Send that sage bonfire to my house, please.
@Jewels, hypnagogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis are both parasomnias. I think of them as being a "brain fart" during sleep. They are not rare, but can be a symptom narcolepsy. Check out Wikipedia, or this information from Stanford Healthcare:
I have experienced both types of parasomnias, very rarely. My own experiences of meaningful visions or dream messages from my guides, or dreams that I can interpret, are a very different experience.
@snowbird. Thank you, Snowbird! I will read it. Interesting as I have a sleep issue. What I recently experienced is still so vivid, unlike any dream I've ever had. I'm not psychic, but I'm waiting for more, as if it is a trick I can will into happening again. I recently asked spirit for a clear sign, and got blinking lights not long afterward. Amateur hour here.

@saibh, I love that you brought this up! Christine Northrup, MD, wrote about women having house dreams. I've had them all my life. Try to remember the details. The houses can be part of your own psyche. A common dream I had years back is that I'm in a house that is mine, even though it doesn't look like my current house. And there is a secret annex or hallway that I didn't know about. It is often antique, with antique furniture and 1880 wall paper and rugs. It seems like Disney's Haunted House.
I feel the annex was a part of me that I hadn't realized yet. It contains something ancient, something of my ancestors, and yet elegant and expansive. It's dusty and needs cleaning up. It's about realizing my potential and perhaps the unrealized potential of the women who came before me. I can help us all rise in this life and this time.
Another dream I had was that there were several secret floors above the ones I normally live in. They are attic spaces but with high ceilings. Dusty, no furniture, neglected! They also feel haunted, yes, and unsteady, like I could fall through the floor. Neglected. I feel a little scare up there but also excited at all that extra space and possibility.
They feel like past lives that want to come out now, or part of my DNA from my ancestors, now talking to me and saying, we can rise now, in this life!

Holy smokes, @jeanne-mayell, I've had this same dream(s) for most of my adult life. You could easily be describing my experiences -- I can still see the antique rugs.
Your interpretation is quite interesting -- I've never known what to make of these dreams but always thought there was something to them, given the frequency with which they occur. In fact, they are the only recurring dream I can remember having across decades.
@sistermoon I love that you also have these dreams. I knew that women have house dreams but hadn't realized that other women might also see the antique rooms and the feeling they are haunted with the feelings of other women.
When I think back on how I felt during my house dreams, I was excited, hopeful about the extra rooms. I had valuable real estate I hadn't known about!
Yes they are dusty and the rugs and wall paper seems old fashioned, but they feel like something that belongs to me that I hadn't known was mine. I feel excited, fortunate. I think, these rooms are mine!
It is only now, thanks to @Saibh and you, that I am realizing that these rooms contain the hopes of our women ancestors, hopes that we feel within our psyches.
I think of all of the women who came before me who did not have the options we now have to rise.
These women took back seats to their spouses and were not allowed to be leaders, but they had all of the intelligence and talent of leaders. Women who were the force behind their husbands.
Both of my grandmothers had so much more within them than they were allowed to realize. They had to be in the passenger seat while their husbands drove the car that carried them and their children through life.
I felt their energy within me when I was exploring these rooms. Not so much to become a leader but that there is some psychic energy that they left behind that I feel.
I carry, we all may carry, their unrealized dreams.
