the best of sleeping

When I was little I was afraid of ghosts and would sleep every night with my arms and legs out so the ghosts wouldn't have any room to sleep on my bed.

When I was young, ever since I can rember, and until I was probley 10, I was strange.lol. I would lay down to sleep, and start dreaming that I was a butterfly, I would live out life as a butterfly in these dreams. And right before I woke up, I would lay down and start dreaming about being a human (as a butterfly) I had thoughts and everything in my dream.And each night, my stuff from the nights before dream would be tied in or continued, so I really had a 'life' So for years, I never really knew if I was a human or a butterfly. Because I was always dreaming I was living the life of the other one.

when i was young i thought it was illegal to sleep with my legs straight, and always had them curled up. one day at my babysitters, i was supposed to be napping but i couldn't sleep and slowly inch by inch stretched my legs out, terrified the whole time that my babysitter was going to come and get me in trouble. ....Nothing happened...I fell asleep.

When I was younger, somewhere between six and eight, I had a bizarre dream where my Mother fell into a giant crack in our Driveway... Well, she didn't exactly fall in, she was pulled in by little chinese kids- that's right, little chinese kids. When I woke up, I was so sad, because I thought my Mom got pulled in forever.

ok, i still believe this, but ill warn u, its sorta scary. my friend told it to me and that night i had the worst nightmare ever...anyways, its about wen u go to sleep. When u fall asleep i believe that your soul separates from your body and roams around the world. for example- my friends mom was dreaming that she was looking at a cat outside her window. when she woke up, there was the same cat. its even scarier if someone TELLS u it rather u reading it. i warned u. isn't it scary? and i sware, im not making this up.

When I layed down, my ear was laying hard against the pillow, so I could hear my pulse in my ear. To me it seemed that there was a big bear stomping on a murderous rampage and was after me. So than I always put my head under the pillow while pulling it against my head alot harder to feel more comfortable, which only made the pounding sound louder and I got even more scared. I could never sleep and always was afraid, intil I was about 5 or 6.

I used to belive that at night there would come a man and he would cut of my ears. I could never decide if I should face the wall and not see him when he came or seeing him.

I used to think that when you were sleeping you stoped breathing. Therefore when someone died they would soon wake up and live again.

When I was little, I used to believe that when I woke up from sleeping, my hands were automatically totally clean. I would eat breakfast without washing them because I thought that they were germ-free from sleep.

I used to think that you were only supposed to breathe when you were asleep so I would try to hold my breath for as long as possible during the day

I used to believe that if I slept with my hand on my chest, I could feel if my heart ever stoped... So I did it to feel if I was going to die...
