I’m sure you’ve all woken up in the middle of the night for the usual, needing the toilet, a noise outside, the dog, one of the children but what about the ones where your instantly wide awake. You know something has woken you but you’re not sure what but as the sleep clouds disappear you get that feeling. You know the one, someone or something has got your attention. You’re fight or flight instinct is kicking in but you don’t know why, after all your “safe” in your own home. We all feel safe in our own homes, safe, secure. So why are we feeling so scared and exposed. Something or someone is there, you know it, you can feel it. Every fibre is telling you your in danger. You pull your feet back under the covers and pull them up to your chin or even over your head. Sleep eventually comes and in the morning the event is clear in your mind but the rational side of your brain tells you it was just a dream but you know it wasn’t. So the question is what was it?
Tell me your experiences about this and your explanations and I will tell you about the time I was brave enough to get out of bed and what happened to me.
