Please can someone help me?

I am having problems sleeping at night. I don't want to sound strange but I have always been very sensitive to energy at night. It seems that my dreams and night hours are always when I receive a message of some sort and I see so many things. It is always right when my guard is down after first waking up that I start to see "people". As a little girl my mother always told me I was dreaming. But as I got older I started to try and block and ignore all that was going on around me while I slept. The problem is, I am not sleeping. It seems that I am waking up every hour and that the energy is not letting me sleep. While I am sleeping even then I am not fully resting because I am talking in my sleep. My boyfriend says he will be sleeping and all of a sudden I will be asleep and talking and then open my eyes and continue talking to nothing. I cannot discuss this with him because he does not believe in anything that has to do with spirits and such. So I would like to now why this is happening to me nd why it happens more frequent at some times than others and how do I make it stop so I can sleep. It is taking it's toll lately as it has been worse now then before and my sleep is really off. I have to be up early for work and I drag throughout the day. THank you for letting me get this off my chest.

Well..I can't answer the why it's happening to you part. But I can offer up an interesting peace of info as to why it happens more at night.

Between 3am and Dawn is when the energy flows the most. It's when most spirits/ghosts will come and talk to you. Have you tried sleeping with a circle up around you? Or a circle of salt around your bed? Everyone else pipe in cuz I don't know what else to suggest :/ To make you fall asleep faster maybe try wearing some lavendar lotion or something with lavendar in it. Or put rosemary/thyme in your food at dinner. Always knocks my family right out for the night.
Hope this helps.

you know it is possible that something is feeding off the energy you are giving it. A cleansing and blessing bath followed by a protection ritual should be beneficial.
Another thing is the more you know about something the less you fear it, perhaps it is time for you to face it , and research it.
If these steps don't help try sleeping with a stone or such that you have enpowered with protection. If you feel that your programming would not be enough, have someone do it for you.
If none of this helps go to the doctor, there may be a physical reason.

Most of us are naturally most open at night when we're trying to fall asleep. That's actually quite common.

Try casting a circle of white light around yourself at night. Also, decide on a way to "turn it off" whether that includes visualizing a big light switch you can flip or anything else, and start doing that.

You also may be suffering from some sort of sleeping disorder. My father has many of the symptoms that you just described (waking up and talking, not realizing where you are, not getting into REM sleep), and he has been to sleep clinics trying to figure out what it is. Of course, he has post-traumatic stress disorder (he's a Viet Nam vet), so that is most likely a contributing factor to his sleeping problems, but some of the things is suffers from are seperate from the PTSD.

Just a thought, maybe go to the doctor too if you can and describe your symptoms just to rule out the possibility :).

I have to agree with cherrywind here. There are many many types of sleeping disorders and most of them can be helped through different types of therapy or medication. You really should be checked for a medical condition before you try anything else :)

Thank you for all your suggestions. I have been to the doctor and explained the problems I have sleeping. Thank God, I have been ruled in great health. This is why I feel it seems to be more of a spirtual problem. I am not under any stress and I have gone through this even as a child. My mom used to have the room blessed even though she told me I was just dreaming. That would help for a little while. It seems that sometimes I am able to block it and other times I have to try and sweat it out. I am going to try the suggestions listed above. Maybe I shouldn't be so afraid of what I am seeing as suggested above and try and understand but in the meantime I thank you all for your help.

Have you tried a dream catcher?

[Myst]

The thing that helped me (when protective circles wouldn't) when I was having problems sleeping (mostly having horrid nightmarres) was to sleep with stones charged for positive dreams and protection. I think lavendar is supposed to be good in or under your pillow, or you can get a dream pillow, and Rick has a good suggestion with the dreamcatcher too.

[Phoenix Blue]

Tourmaline is a good dream-stone as well, if I recall correctly. And dreamcatchers are almost always helpful. :)

Ok first of all have you considered that this energy-spirit-I don't know is trying to contact you for a reason? Have you tried to get any divination on this? Just a thought...

If you feel this is evil I would suggest a banishment and a full cleansing of your bedroom and home. Casting a circle around your bed is always good too. There are many herbs and stones which can help with protection and sleep.

Rosemary under your pillow will bring a peaceful sleep. Agrimony - protection & sleep
Arbutus - exorcism & protection
Lilac - exorcism & protection
Thistle, psychic powers & strength
Blueberry - protection
Thyme helath, helaing, sleep, courage,
Wintergreen - protection, healing, hexbreaking
Clove - protection & exocism
Elder - excocism, protection, healing & sleep
Hops - healing & sleep
Valerian - sleep & protection.

Rose Quartz - calming
Lavender Flourite - serenity & peace
Lepidolite - unworried sleep, well-being
Sunstone - protection
Golden Topaz - heals exhaustion and insomnia

I hope things get better really soon for you!
