I Hate Nightmares :(

Last night, I had THE worst night's sleep. I went over to Hannah's house (where I was only meant to stay an hour & ended up chatting till past midnight)! When I came home, I felt a little queasy... then I found out why - we were sleeping in Dave's parents' bed & his mother had put some Lavender spray on the pillows & sheet. Lavender & spearmint are the two scents, for some weird reason make me ill (either a headache or physically sick).

Anyway, after finally falling asleep around 2am. Dave had one of his usual night time attacks - which by the way usually involve shaking me to see if I'm still alive/getting up/shouting/thinking there's something in the room. Lastnight, Dave must have gotten up & said there was something in the room - but when I looked, I actually imagined/saw 8 dark shadowy figures walking towards the bed with some sort of shields in front of them - or just a certain shape that resembled a cloak?

It scared me to death. I just sat up & started to pray that they were just going to kill us quickly, lol. I have never, EVER experienced anything like this in my life. After that I couldn't get back to sleep for another hour or so. It really shook me up. Of course it was all in my head - but I had imagined it so vividly. I'm putting it down to that stupid lavender!!

The plan for tonight is having friends over again & watching some old home videos which should be fun. I am going to spray alllll the pillows tonight with my own perfume, so that I don't have any weird dreams or feel sick again! Have any of you reading this ever had such realistic nightmares & are there any scents that make you physically ill or give you headaches? =/

***FREAKY UPDATE***

Hannah came over tonight - we had a great night btw, watching the funniest home movies from 10yrs ago of our boyfriends acting like idiots! Anyway, when Hannah got here, I told her 'Ohhh I need to tell you about my hallucinations lastnight...' then she cut across me & said she had the weirdest thing happen to her too.

She went on to desccribe how she woke up, feeling hot then cold & saw dark shadowy figures surrounding her & walking towards her while she was in bed. I just started shaking - I told her that is EXACTLY what I had seen & described it more in detail, how I had woken up & they had been dark sillhouettes (no features) & how they had just come closer & I felt they were surrounding me. We both just stood outside, totally freaked out that we had experienced EXACTLY the same thing. We also both happened to see them at around the same time too...

Hannah told me she had put it down to the bleach she had used to clean her bathroom that day (like I had blamed the lavender). This has to be the weirdest thing that has happened to me, ever. Like I said, nothing like this has ever, ever happened to me before. I rarely even have nightmares. I did some research on the internet & I found some information on 'Shadow Beings' which is the closest I can find to both of our descriptions. Spooky huh?

I seriously don't want to go to bed tonight... it's nearly 2am & I have no choice. I am taking the camera & putting it next to my bed tonight, if something happens again, I am catching it on camera & I'll prove to you all I'm not crazy, honest!
