Hi my name is Robert. It is very common for me to wake up in the middle of the night, but this night was unusual. I had a normal day, went to bed at 11:00, woke up in the middle of the night and saw a Tarantula sized spider crawling in mid air, in the middle of my room, as if it were on a web but it wasn't. i stared at it for a while with the sheets close to my face, my heart pounding very fast...........as i stared at it it just disappeared. Now I'm wondering if i was hallucinating. can someone please give me an answer?

Yes, this happens to me all of the time. Ever since childhood. They are called "hypnopompic" hallucinations. I also have hypnogogic hallucinations upon falling asleep as well as some form of sleep paralysis from time to time. I will see spiders or writing. Sometimes people at the end of my bed. Colors or illuminated walls. The feeling of a presence. Music or talking. Shadows. Sometimes I wake up and I don't know who I am or that I am dying and I will jump out of bed and start running. It usually takes a minute for the images to fade away and for me to recall where and who I am. The sleep Dr thinks I may have some form of narcolepsy, but I haven't done the sleep study yet. I also have fibromyalgia which is kind of like chronic fatigue. I hardly ever get restorative sleep for healing.

Then, the Hambuglar from McDonald's would stand at my bedroom door and watch me from time to time. That was scary!!

Hi
Are you familiar with the books written by Rosemary Ellen Guiley about the Djinn and paranormal activity? In an interview I watched recently, though I don't think it was a recent interview, she was discussing with the interviewer a paranormal phenomenon called `The Scurriers' where many people have had their attention drawn to scurrying activity of spider-like or octopus-like creatures that flash in and out of our reality.
