Dream or Not??????

[Dancing Bear]

I am hoping this is where i place this thread.
I am confused whether this is a part of a dream or otherwise.
Last night i distincly heard bare footed foot steps enter my bedroom. they enter about 3-4 steps in then stop as to stare down at me.
This has been happening for a while and i have always put it down to the youngest child who is always trying to get into bed with me. So for a few months i have ignored these footsteps and and my baby doesnt crawl in. So I thought it was my baby. Last night it was really bugging me the footsteps would stop at my doorway. I thought she was getting up to peek in to see what mum was up to. I was reading a book with a low lamp. After about the fourth time i thought it would be a good idea to put her back to bed. ALL 3 Children were tucked in their beds fast asleep. I was a bit freaked, but with everything i have experienced half expected. LOL
I finally fell asleep. 4 times in the night i was woken by these footsteps entering my room, 3 times i woke to check the children all 3 times they were all sound asleep. By the 4th time i knew it wasnt any of my children.
Was this a dream or real? Sometimes i wonder. normally if someone wants to contact me they do it through my dreams
A bit confused with this one. Has anyone any ideas?

hi dancing bear!
if you like I can move your thread to the dreamers guild or the lounge its up to you..
hmm, ya know I often hear things as well but Im always fully awake when I hear them so I know Im not dreaming it...but if your really tired and perhaps hearing these footsteps maybe you are having dreamlets, which most of us encounter just prior to sleep however that is usually when we have random images come into our minds not neccessarily any sounds.
is your home old? maybe it just makes sounds in the night from settling, or maybe it is someone watching over you, do you feel someone is there or watching you??
strange, ya know I think that would really bother me, course Im a scardey cat! lol..

You can move it to the dreamer guild if you like thankyou. i discovered it after i had already posted here, Sorry bout that I will eventually know my way around a bit better soon, I hope lol!!
i was Fully awake when i heard the first lot of footsteps, the second lot it was loud enough to wake me from sleep. The house was only built in the eighty,s. Yeh sometimes things i cant explain away really freak me too !!

Yes someone is there i feel a presence, thats why initially i thought it was the kids. When i open my eyes and realise no-one is there the presence feeling goes.

hmm, well I bet yiour really hearing these things dancing bear, Im not sure, maybe if your half alseep you could be in the hypnogogic state inbetween sleep and awake where you often hear strange noises or footsteps but if you aware while you hear them than they must be real..maybe you need a ghost hunter lol..
I would try to make contact with it and communicate with it to see what it wants or to see if its realy there or your imagaination ya know.

Yes i do know Lilacsky, I try to rationalise first, trying to find all logical explanations, I really cant find one for this, other than yes my imagination or its real. I have moved my bed now and am having better nights sleep. My head was near the door. So now if there really are footsteps i wont be able to hear them, and they can go on their merry away. And if it really is my daughter she eventually crawls in with me and only wakes me when i have a foot in my ribs LOL.
whilst i am writing here i am remembering a few things i felt about this home before we moved in.. I did feel a really strong spiritual pull with this house, before we moved in i brushed up on feng shui techniques and applied them to everything prior to moving in and after, even our phone number was specifically chosen with good feng shui in mind. The house is a number 8 which is beautiful Feng shui. What is above is also below. The only problem is the first night i was in the home i dont know whether i dreamt, or actually heard it, was someone was trying to open one of the doors to enter the house. Now the door i'm pretty sure it was, now has a lock up garage surrounding it. So deductions are telling me i either dreamt it and or it happened in the history of the home and i picked it up.
This dream/experience has set a president and now every night i am expecting someone to enter the home. I am thinking this is where these footsteps are coming from. I am wondering whether this post should be somewhere else.LOL
I have ordered alarms for all the doors and am waiting for them to arrive now. It probably sounds all a bit paranoid, but i am leaving nothing to chance I have learnt form the past not to ignore my visions and feelings, I think my next step is to contact the agents and ask them if they know the history of the house.
Thanks again! Lilacsky, will inform you if i find out anything unusual about the house.

I would do the same, however I would aslo do a house cleansing of negative energy, (just in case) I would do a small ritual, since I don't get into them that much..only when necessary.
I would take sage or some type of herb and burn through out the house, clearing it out by saying, this house is free of negative energy,..and evision a protective light around the house while doing this..maybe that will help also..let me know how it go's and good idea to move the bed!!lol

Thankyou so much Lilacsky for your feeback!!
funny you should say burn some cleansing Herbs it did just that yesterday and i have an affirmation i used. " This house is postive, light and safe"
I also bought a gorgeous new incense holder to burn my favourite incense ( Nag Champa) it is so pretty and uplifting, i also treated myself to the perfumed oil.
I really am trying to turn all this into a positive quest and not trying to dwell on questions why, what, did it really etc..
