So far I've had two dreams where I brought something back with me. It may sound a little far-fetched and 'just like the movies', but it's nothing permanent and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well.

My first account was when I was nine years old. Our cat had died a few months earlier; she enjoyed spending the night on a shipyard across our house, unaware that there was a new guard dog — the previous one was nearly deaf and blind and wasn't aware of her presence, needless to say the dog bit her and she died on the spot. Somewhere in my dream I realised I was laying in bed and just before I awake, I had the feeling that our cat was near. The moment I awoke, I felt something claw my hand; very lightly, but noticable. And there were a few tiny scratches. This experience probably falls between dreams and general paranormal phenomena.

The second time something like this happened (I was fourteen or fifteen at the time), was when I was walking through the house (in my dream) and went up the stairs, when I saw a couple of huge insects, which looked like a cross between a mosquito and a wasp, except for the fact that they were nearly two feet tall. Needless to say, I ran for it and they came after me, but just when one of them touched my neck, I woke up and could still feel it, so I reached for it and threw it down on my pillow... the moment I saw hit the pillow, it vanished.


It may sound a bit 'Nightmare on Elmstreet'-ish, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had experiences like this, so please, share yours.
