Have there ever been any accounts of spirits entering a person's dreams?

Question

When I was younger I lived in a haunted house. To give you an idea of why I said its haunted, there was sometimes boots stomping up and down the stairs late at night, my mother saw a woman in a night gown fade away, my father saw a tiny child's rocking chair rock back and forth for about 2-3 min. There was no breeze or anything to make the chair rock.

I didn't witness any of these things happen, but ever since we had moved into the old two story house I had nightmare like dreams. Basically, in the dream it would be pitch black and there would be faces laughing hysterically non-stop, pure insanity. It happened almost every single night after I went to sleep and it was always the same dream with the same details. After we moved, the nightmares stopped.

"WHen they stood over you laughing was it in a hostile/crazy way?"

hostile/crazy

"Did you see the faces clearly?"

Only one, which I have never seen the woman before.

I can't exactly find out much about the house since the incident happened about 16 years ago, also its on the east coast which I now live on the west coast.


"It's no wonder you have nightmares.With your parents scaring the daylights out of you.I'll tell you something they should have.There is no such thing as ghosts."

You jump to assumptions too quick. My parents never told me about this until I was older, which was after we had moved out of that house. Second of all, you shouldn't automatically deny something by solely relying on the fact that you as an individual haven't experienced it first hand.

Everything is made of energy, which energy can manifest itself into anything. There is no real reason, except the reason you give this thing which is the rationalization of the irrational.

Answer 1

Sounds like they were tryng to tell you something , this a very common way for spirits to communicate with you....as you are more relaxed and open to them when you are asleep. I'll bet if you researched the house you will find the history of these laughing people.
WHen they stood over you laughing was it in a hostile/crazy way? or were they trying to get you to join in the games and fun? Did you see the faces clearly? Could you point htem out if you saw a photograph of the people? You should ask some neighbors about the history of your property.... or you can look it up at the local library.

Answer 2

I am positive someone once remembered a dream in which they are *positive* they were visited by a spirit. Such a claim would have the same scientific veracity as any other subjective anecdotal experience--that is, none. In other words, just because a person experienced an unusual "visitation"--in of all places a dream--doesn't validate the claim or even the possibility that such a thing really happened.

Answer 3

Peter D,
It also doesn't invalidate the claim or the possibility that such things are possible. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
Visitation dreams are quite common and usually seem much more vivid or real than normal dreams. It is not unusual to hear someone relate an experience where a loved one passed away then came to them in a dream to say goodbye or comfort them. These usually do not persist, only happening once, but may reoccur years later if they have a message for you or feel you need their guidance.
Your experience is completely different and sounds like you were just having bad dreams from daily occurrences and things you heard or heard about during the day.

Answer 4

Everyone's beliefs are different. When I dream of someone close to me that has died, I believe our spirits (their's and mine) are in communion. Sometimes they want to tell me something specific. Sometimes they just want to hang out. Mostly it's a positive thing, though not always. Sometimes it's an answer to a question or problem that has been bothering me.

Answer 5

Spirits and ghost do not act in that manner. There seems from your explaination to be negative energy there but caused by what, I am not sure. Do you ever smell odd odors about the house? If so, it is not energy from a negitive ghost I will assure you.

Answer 6

I unquestionably have desperate some time past that each and all of the debts i could not coach belonged to somebody else have been unquestionably 8 song's. each and each time I see that be conscious i pass aha! and upload yet another one to the record. Dangit.

Answer 7

No, Freddy Krueger notwithstanding.

Answer 8

It's no wonder you have nightmares.With your parents scaring the daylights out of you.I'll tell you something they should have.There is no such thing as ghosts.

Answer 9

Yes, there is, and people can enter other's dreams too.

Answer 10

its very common for spirits to communicate to you through your dreams, i believe its easier that way for them to make the connection.. ive had spirits visit me in my dreams, mostly people i knew that have died..they gave me messages or to let me know they were happy and ok..but then also some can haunt you for what ever reason...
