This happened to me a couple weeks ago but It’s constantly on my mind. I can’t tell you if this was an actual experience or some vivid dream.
I go to sleep pretty late so it was around 2:45am when i decided to try and get some sleep. I suffer from insomnia so falling asleep takes A LOT of effort. Let me also mention, my roommate was away for some trip. Anyway, i’m laying in bed with my eyes closed, trying to get myself to just sleep when i hear the back door open and close, i figured it was my roommate coming back early so i ignored it, until i heard footsteps in the living room coming towards my bedroom. I found this weird because my roommates bedroom is on the opposite side of the house. The door to my bedroom doesn’t close properly so in order to keep it closed, i use a stick up against it. As soon as i hear the footsteps at my door, I heard my doorknob rattling, as if someone was trying to open it. I then felt a slight pressure on my back, as if someone had simply placed their hand on me. At first i thought it was my cat (she likes to sleep laying against me sometimes) but she was taking a nap on my desk, across the room. This startled me, i checked my phone, time said 3am. i really can’t tell if this was real or a dream i started having as i dozed off. If it was a dream, i’d like to think whatever touched my back saved me from a nightmare.
my roommate and i both have had actual dreams that are very similar as well. i’d be glad to share those.
