Phantom sleep gripped her
Pinned to the bed and frozen
Hands roved all over
*I experience phantom sleep a few times a year. I’ve had the sensation of hands touching me and have heard voices on occasion. It can be pretty frightful, but once in awhile, the “phantom” will surprise me and touch me just right.
Poet Rummager 
This little guy proves that size doesn’t matter! Hey, hey, hey, I’m talking about small things in life can affect your sleep.

Do you not consider yourself a medium of sorts and that these are the departed trying to convey a message?

That’s a great question! I don’t think I’m a medium; perhaps when I was a child….I saw and experienced more unworldly things then. I do know that once I started keeping a writer’s journal, I’ve been experiencing phantom sleep a lot less. I don’t know if there’s a connection there, but I do like that these night terrors have dwindled. I appreciate your comments and really enjoy your visits. Thank you sir! Cheers to you! 🍷

Mine just likes to knock on my bedroom door and wake me up, a lot of times because I should wake up and get going. I can only barely imagine how frightening it would be to experience what you have.

I should add, mine is also a prankster and likes to hide things from me, like my smokes, which is really irritating, now my digital camera and favorite beanie

That’s hilarious! I guess your ghost must be an artist, as well.. .a photographer who also smokes and wears a cool beanie😜 These episodes aren’t as common anymore, so I’m really happy about that. They feel as if you’re tied up with duct tape over your mouth so no one can hear you scream,and you can’t fight back. It only lasts about 10-15 seconds, but it’s quite terrifying. Always love hearing from you! Thanks Doug. 😘

Thanks. The phantom may just be, which might explain why we get along so well. I found my smokes but only after I drove in foul mood and on the way reinforced my desire to quit because of the dependency. I found my beenie in my laundry pile, reminding me to do my laundry. The camera under my bed reminding me I need to clean my room.

Once I felt a frozen kiss in the neck, I wasn’t frightened but angry because it was without my permission XP
Lovely portrait of a ghost 🙂

Aw, thanks Francis! I joke when I say that sometimes the ghost touches me just right. You’re correct….anyone who touches you or kisses you without permission has violated you. After one of these night terrors, I’ll visit your blog and look at your beautiful photos. That would comfort me a lot! 💋
