Hello, im new here ..I had an experience last night which caused me to google and find this site.

Last night as I was laying down to go to sleep, I started seeing my dream before I was even asleep. I knew I was still awake but I started seeing images and things happening to me which caused me to be unfomfortable and I would keep waking myself up. But within' a minute or two laying down again it would happen again. What happened was I was seeing hands coming at me, one was pulling on my cheek and one was pushing on the back of leg where my knee is and the one on my cheek was pulling hard, I could've sworn my head was actually getting pulled to the right. Im pretty sure I was just about asleep at that time, but I was still able to force myself to wake up and when I did I still saw the hands for a brief second or two and they faded away. My cheek was pulsating where it was being pulled in my sleep. I have no dental problems so any idea what heck all this means? It kinda scared me and for the 1st time in many years I slept with my light on. Im 33, so i don't normally sleep with my light on.

Thanks
Tom
