The second time

On the morning or February 26, 2009, I saw my wife, Lisa, off to work at 6:12 am and then quickly climbed back into bed for another hour of sleep. Since I had already gotten about seven hours of sleep during the night, I really wasn't all that tired, so I lay there, trying to fall back to sleep.

At some point I must have fallen asleep because I began dreaming of being alone in my basement, where I spotted an ice cube on top of a shelve or book case. The instant I saw the ice cube, I knew I was not alone in the house, since someone would have had to place the cube there, and recently, since it was just beginning to melt.

At the exact instant I had that thought, I felt this incredibly odd sensation, as if a force of some kind was rapidly spreading through my body, beginning at the base of my skull and traveling down by spine, ending up in my testicles (of all places!). At that point it felt like someone was giving them a good squeeze, but it didn't feel painful, just a very odd sensation of a "force" or energy surging through me. This feeling didn't frighten me, nor did seeing that ice cube and knowing I was not alone give me the willies. It was just a feeling of having someone or something work its way on (or through?) me, as if to indicate I'm not alone and it's okay. Whoever or whatever is behind this appears benevolent and perhaps is trying to send me a message.

This is the second time something like this has happened. The previous year, again, during the hour after Lisa left for work, I was in bed, lying on my stomach and had this feeling of a force (or two strong hands) pushing me down into the bed. I could swear someone was bending over me, pushing me deep into the mattress. Interestingly, I didn't wake up to see what it was. Whatever it was, I wasn't frightened by it, yet I know if I was lying in bed, reading a book and a stranger were to suddenly walk into my bedroom I'd be scared to death.

Am I being contacted by someone or something? Very strange indeed, but bring it on! It's fascinating!
