Parasomnia or Paranormal

Nope, this time it's not me.. even though I did mentioned about my recent night terrors, where I keep waking up having a dreadful feeling like I'm going to die. I felt my heart racing, dizziness at times, etc. Just feeling so weird.

But this wee morning about almost 1am, just as I went to sleep mode an hour earlier... I was rudely awakened by my Hubby's punch to my head! I turned to him... and he seems dazed... then he quickly said he dream of me dying in front of him, and there's like a spirit of DEATH in the dream near to me... So in his sleep, he tried to reach out protectively and unfortunately... hit me in the head as I was sleeping facing away from him.

Hubby immediately apologized to me, saying his past mental condition of parasomnia is acting up again. Yes, in his younger days, he can even strangled me in his sleep semi state... while I tried to fight him off by slapping his face, and telling him I'm his wife! I can see his eyes were red when he did that... and as his mind seems to come back to the realization, the redness in his eyes subsided... as he let go his hand on my neck... it was very scary back then.

But was it parasomnia this time? Honestly, I have been suspecting something... Actually, my elder Sister and nephew went to Thailand some months back for holiday in June. They were sweet to buy back souvenirs from there. My elder Sis in law gotten a pink medium size teddy bear while my nephew gotten a realistic looking big eyes doll from there for me. They even whatapp video me at the doll shop to ask which one I wanted. Hubby was the one who said the doll with long hair seems nice so I decided to go with his choice.

When they came back and pass the gifts to my Sister who went to visit them, she in turned pass to me when she came for our monthly sisters gathering in July. I do like the long hair doll but there's just a weird sense in her eyes that linger on... which I didn't want to display it out but kept it in the gift bag with the pink bear. Even the pink bear, I usually like teddy bears but somehow this bear doesn't appeal to my liking, which is rare. It doesn't seems cute or adorable at all, a bit skinny and the body plus expression seems not inviting for hug.

Until two Sundays ago, I invited my Elder Sis in law to come over to pick up some food ration and do a catch up. So I took out the doll and the pink bear to display, I left the doll in my red entertainment room on my study table, and put the pink bear in our bedroom. After my relatives came to tour my new toilets (home improvement program by the government) and my less cluttered home after the HIP... they left after catching up and took 5 bags of food ration. Then after closing up the red room, we went to bed. That night I just felt uneasy... the next day, Hubby also felt unwell for no reason. So I quietly took the pink bear out from our bedroom and put it back with the doll in the red room for display.

While I have my zoom lessons in the red room, I felt like the long hair doll keep looking at me even as I moved about the room. So I placed her lying down on a cushion on the sofa so her eyes can closed up and next to the pink bear since they came together. The red room is far from our bedroom and we seldom go inside there unless we have guests or I have to do zoom lessons.

But even my Hubby, who is easily affected by the spiritual realm, said he felt uneasy about the doll too. His mood also started to swing on and off lately, we even had such a tiff over his recent farts matters that I ended up resting in the red room to be away from him. We really didn't fight or quarrel like this for a long time... something in the home realm is not right. He said he just felt angry after going into the red room to get a can of coke from the bar fridge inside and that's how he vented at me and also yelling at me when I teased him on his farting issue.

Things also start breaking in the house... the big oven started to cause power trip in the whole house... so we decided to bring down a smaller oven to use from the top shelf. Yet that small oven also caused power trip while next to the big oven where we placed it. But both of these ovens are plugged in to two different power line sockets when in usage. My engineer then helped to change the big oven's power point to something newer. And the kitchen big shining oven is facing directly into my red room where the doll and pink bear are.

My red room is attached to a balcony where I placed my washing machine and a sink. Yesterday the Housing officer came and my Hubby attended to him. The officer said the neighbours below my unit complain of water leaking in their balcony from my unit. So the Officer helped to turn off the water supply switch for my balcony area and they will get another officer to contact me if there's a need to do goodwill repair. That will caused a lot of money but this has never happened before. We only use the washing machine once a week to do laundry, that's all. No heavy usage or daily usage of water there, why is there leakage? And the leakage is just couple of steps behind the sofa where the doll and pink bear are too.

Then this past week of night terrors where I wake up with a dreadful feeling... like there's something not right in my hyper vigilance mode... I felt something is in the room but I don't know how to describe it so I keep praying over myself and even for my Hubby. Then his 'parasomnia' acted up this morning, which he doesn't has this for more than a decade. And when he said he saw a spirit of DEATH in the room... I wonder coz due to his mental condition, in the Chinese medium world, he's a easy vessel for the spirits to possess him too.

In our younger days, we went to the 18th level of Hell in Haw Par Villa with our godson, which is a theme park located along Pasir Panjang Road in Singapore. The park contains over 1,000 statues and 150 giant dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese Literature, folklore, legends, history, and statuary of key Chinese religions, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. The moment we were at the entrance of the park, Hubby started to feel unwell and he seems to have a change of personality as he turned aggressive and angry. I quickly stopped the outing and called a cab to go home... the further we left the park, my Hubby's mood start to stabilize and said something made him feel upset in there and he don't know why. This is known a an evil spirit is trying to possess his body as his mind is weaker than normal people. You won't know what sort of spirits are in those statues.

Thinking back, all these weird happening started after I took the doll and pink bear out from the gift box. I never mentioned anything to Hubby, not even my night terrors. But now he's being affected too. I'm thankful to my relatives' kind thoughts but I might need to seal them back into the gift box as I'm not sure if these souvenirs have something else in them.

And actually since July, I started having bouts of bad luck with my paperworks, gotten terminated from my social payout schemes... then issues with my community providers till I have to terminate their services to find another service provider... and suddenly my health gotten worse till I gotten gallstone and also found out a big egg size cyst last month... that also coincided with the same time these two souvenirs from Thailand came into my home.

I hope I'm not over thinking... But now even Hubby is expressing that he felt uneasy with the doll since I took it out and put in the red room. Or maybe I should give these two items a wash with salt water (salt is believe to cleanse away the unclean spirits), dried them in the sun and dedicate them to my own faith so whatever spirits in them that's not from my faith will leave too. And yes, been awhile since I ask the caregiver to mop my home using salt water too. Good to clean out whatever bad vibes that's lingering in the home.

Just to play safe... you never know what else came in these form of souvenirs from countries with other strong beliefs. Btw, these photos were sent to me by my Sister after she gotten them from my elder Sis and nephew. I do like the long hair doll as I cut away the rubber band so her hair now flows freely. But her eyes are so life like and seems to follow you as you move around the room, which can be a little creepy especially in the night.
