So at my parents house in their family room they have a huge tv that takes up an entire corner of the room. I have almost always had really awful nightmares when i sleep out there, and so has my brother. I dont usually tend to have bad dreams. Recently, I had come to visit and had fallen asleep out there by accident (because i would never intentionally sleep out there).

In my sleep, i dreamt that i was in a creepy house. although the image of the house was sugar coated by "cute" things happening around me to try and hide the fact that it was creepy or something. however, most of the "pleasant" things i saw were distorted, like kittens, but the kittens were chewing on eachothers heads or weird things like that.

next, and this is when things become a bit frightening, i was flashed into the next dream sequence and it was entirely pitch black. i have never dreamed in pitch black before. i was under the impression that i was heading to go christmas shopping and i was walking to the mall. as i became aware that i was dreaming, i became conscious of my body and the feeling in my hands. i realized that i was holding a flashlight, but i couldnt get the flashlight to work. then it became obvious that it was a stupid idea to go christmas shopping in the middle of the night without anything to light my way. i began feeling uncomfortable and told myself to become lucid so that i could find my way. at that time i was able to control what was going on around me and i forced my eyes to adjust to the darkness. just as i was able to see the shapes of the buildings around me i stated having the sensation of being lifted. it felt like astral projection and for a moment i thought maybe i should go with it and travel outside of my body. then i realized that i was not controlling it. it felt like something was pulling me out of my body.

i have never had to try so hard to pry myself out of sleep. as i tried, i started coming back to reality, but the lifting sensation was still happening. it was real but it was a dream. something was pulling me out of my body and i think it was coming from the tv. my brother has had similar experiences with a direct feeling of something coming from the tv pulling him from his body.

i recently had a conversation with somebody about bodiless beings that can travel through electromagnetic fields and try and take over your body. she had a friend that killed himself because it drove him insane.

im not sure if that is what i experienced, but it is clearly something and that something is not good. does anybody have any ideas or protection suggestions? i would much appreciate it. thanks~
